The existing basic-wage is £4/4/-per week. An increase to 6/-would mean an increase of 26%, whereas cause they are only puppets of the employers, and have been repudiated by the Trade Union Movement of this country.

Immigration Departin’t | Compared to Ku Klux Klan by Boston Judge BOSTON, April 13.—Federal Judge George W. Anderson likened the tac- tics of the immigration department to those of the Ku Klux Klan when he rebuked federal officers during a hearing today in the case of Moy Ah Lin, a former Back Bay laundryman, fighting deportation to his native China.
