TO QUIZ INDUSTRIALISTS National Manufacturing Organiza- tions to Be Examined—Labor Shortage Is Stressed. The House immigration committee started work today to determine the extent and organization of & national drive to have liberalizing amend- ments to the immigration laws pase- ed. The committee today questioned closely representatives of the tailor- ing industry. Tomorrow six big national organi- zations are to be interrogated, includ- ing the National Association of Man- ufacturers. Chairman Johnson says that the House committee is deter- mined to find out just what interests are behind the drive for breaking down the immigration laws and to determine just what the real labor need in industry is. Claim that agriculture, construc- tion, industry and transportation will suffer irreparable injury unless the present labor shortage is relieved by amending the restrictive immigration laws is made by John E. Edgerton, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, who will appear before the committee tomorrow. Report Aectual Deficit. This association will urge a pro- gram of legislation drafted as a re- sult of two years’ intensive study by a special committee of manufacturers. The main provislons recommended for relief of the present labor short- age are: 1. That Congress should fix the quota of admissible aliens in terms of | net immigration. Kor instance, the ! Itallan quota under the existing law | last year was 42,000. Substantially 40,000 Itallan immigrants entered the | country—53,000 emigrated. Thus, | while the Italian quota was appar- | ently satisfied, there was a large | actual deflcit. { 2. That the Secretary of Labor | should be authorized, upon the pres- | entation to him of satisfactory evi- dence of a continuing shortage of bor of a_particular class or type, to| admit otherwise admissible aliens in excess of the quota until in his judg- ment such condition is improved. The provision would permit no change in the standards of admission and would leave the key of the immigrant gate in the hands of the Secretary of La- bor. The proposal completely answers | those who say there is no labor| shortage by requiring those who as- | sert it to demonstrate the fact in! concrete terms to the Secretary of | Labor. { Want Medieal Examination. 3. Provision should be made imme- diately to provide for the physical ex- amination of otherwise admissible allens through appropriate United States medical officers at the point where passports are viseed, or at con- venient points of embarkation. This provision could, of course, be waived by our government where satisfac- tory assurances are given by the country of immigrant origin that hysical examinations required by the United States have been made and the result certified. The latter pro- posal satisfies any question of inter- national relations. Unless provision is made for the examination of aliens before they embarl the best class of | {aliens will not risk denial of admis- | sion upon arrival In the United States. As a definite, permanent, mns!ruc—! {tive policy the National Assoctation | of Manufacturers will submit the fol- Ilowlnt fundamentals for an immigra- tion law: { 1. That the United States should retain the tests for mental, moral and fnolitical quality fixed in the law of | 11917, except the literacy test, which |we ‘believe experience has demon- istrated to be an ineffective means of determining the quality of an alten | and which neither measures the eco- | nomie or moral value of the applicant ifor admission, but, on the contrary, | may reject the possessor of these vir- {tues while affording no obstacle to i the literate revolutionary. H { Urge Right of Supervision. { 2. That distinction be made be- tween the above requirements for ad- | {mission and those for naturalization, | ithe latter requiring as a condition of {citizenship a working knowledge of English and a practical understand- ing of the form and purpose of Amer- {ican government and evidence of at- jtachment to its principles, all the {conditions for naturalization being o | {far as practicable administered by of-’ {ficers of the United States before the | embarkation of the alien. i { 3. That the United States assert | the right to register, distribute, edu- | cate and otherwise supervise the alien / during the period of his allenage. 4. That all immigration legislation be administered through a board com- | posed of the Secretaries of Agricul- fure, Commerce and Labor, thus se- curing the co-ordination of the de. | partments possessing the information | charged twith primary responsibili- | ties for meeting, on a national scale, the economic and social problems in- | { volved. { 175 That, through the effective co-| {opération of state authority and| | private orsanizations, information | !as to immigrant needs and opportuni- ties be compiled, analyzed and pre- sented to the federal board, and| further co-operation be established to Dresent the economic needs of the nation in terms of ascertained fact to proteat the immigrant against ex- ploitation and secure for him accurate information as to existing oppor- tunities throughout the nation.

WEDNESDAY TO SHOW CAST OF SKULL OF A PREH!STORIC MAN Specimen of Earliest Human Being of Becord Soon on Exhibition at National Museum. A cast from a skull of a prehisteric man, said to be a specimen of the ear- Iiest human being of which there is any record, will soon he on exhibition in ‘the National Museum; according to Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the di- visfon of physical anthropology of the National Museum and Smithsonian Institution, who delivered an address before the Anthropological Soclety at JANUARY 3, 1923, the museum yesterday afternoon. On aecount of a French law prohib- iting it, Dr. Hrdlicka sald, the speci- men, which was found in France, could not - be removed from that country, but that the cast made from it would’ be almost identical. He also told how the skull presented an | unusuai problem, in that sclentists |had been unable to determine what |age of prenistorlc man it represent- led. He then told of many rare speci- mens o¢ ancient skeletons 4ug up on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees mountains of Spain, also in France and Germany, and stated that a sur- vey Is being inaugurated for the pur- pose of locating unusual specimens of man and animal life in different parts of the world. An account of the international con- ference of Americanists in Rlo de Janeiro was given by Hough, who stated that American an- ‘lh)’orololy was the subject of dis- cussion, the American Indlan being the topic of most interest.
