PHILADELPHIA, January 19.—The cheapest labor for America today is the worker born under the American flag, and not the imported laborer, E. J. Henning, assistant secretaty of labor of the United States, declared yesterday in an address before the eastern division, Chamber of Com- merce of the United States. “The man whose every ambition and hope Is linked up with the destiny of this natfon,” Mr. Henning said, “pro- duces more units of asset than any imported laborer.” The cheap laborer is not the man who works for a cheap wage per day or hour, the speaker asserted, for that type is an effective worker for a comparatively short number of years and requires costly supervision. For every Immigrant who was an asset, he said, there were twenty de- pendents or ' otherwise who were liabflities. A square deal for the negro who ex- hibits intelligence and ambition was urged by Willlam Anthony Aery of Hampton, Va. “No white man need fear loss of | prestige by seeing that the black man is treated fairly,” Mr. Aery sald. “in the solution of this problem the peo- ple of the south have gone further than those of the north.” Blue battleships were behind the long breakwater that marks the entrance to the canal from the Atlantic ocean. The 'submarines and destroyers were outside. _Admiral McCully command- ing the Black fleet, came in the har- bor with his main units behind a smoke sefeen laid down by the Black destroyers. He opened fire at a range of six thousand yards, and 50 concen- trated and effective was it that the Blue battleships were unable to pene- trate beyond the breakwater, despite the supporting fire from Fort Sherman.

However, Blue planes, supported by the anti-aircraft batteries, drove off the “enemy” crippling two of his machines. In general, the air forces of the defense were superior to those of the blacks. SHIP LAW EXTENSION MAY BE WITHHELD Filipino Opposition on Ground of Monopoly in Carrying Likely to Bring Resfilts. Indications were given today that ex- tension of the coastwise shipping laws to the Philippine Islands would not be ! proclaimed for the present, at least, out of deference to the Manila govern- ment's opposition to such a step. Final decision, however, has been | withheld on the extension proposal | which recently was recommended by Chairman_Jones of the Senate com- merce committee. Soon after Senator Jones submitted his recommendation to the Executive the Philippine mission. now in Washington, made public a pro- test on the ground that it would result in a monopoly of the Philippine carry- ing trade. The President, as a result of this pro- test and others which have been re- ceived, belleves extension would arouse | further ill feeling among the Filfpinos | toward the United States.
