FORMER FISCAL PLAN IS URGED BY CITIZENS Federation Sends Petition to Con- gress for Proportionate Contributions. A petition of the Federation of Cltizens’ Associations urging that Congress grant to tho District of Columbla, as a matter of simple justice, the observance of the prin- ciple of definite, proportionate con- tributions by the Federal Government and the District of Columbia, in ap- propriations for the maintenance, up- keep and development of the Federal District, was laid before the Senate yesterday by Senator Cummins, presi- dent pro tempore. It was referred to the District committee. Another petition flled with the Senate was that of the Stanton Park Citizens' Assoclation, favoring the completion of the park between the Capitol and the Union Station, as a gateway to the National Capital. The president pro tempore also handed down & petition filed by Arts Club of Washington favoring the ex- tension and preservation of parks and playgrounds in the District of Columbla, to safeguard public health and give the city the natural beauty nual to & National Capitaly Renamed Police Judge JUDGE JOHN P.

Not long ago. we picked up at one time in the vicinity of Wi Barre, Pa. A fow weeks ago, w 30 more in the same borhood i “These we took to Philadélphia for deportation. Just the other day we picked up seven Arabs in Canton, Ohio. These men had deserted their ship at Norfolk, Va. We shall send them back. of course “That is typical of the way we are working. Generally, we get two or three at a time, occaslonally more. Sometimes they are detected and de- ported when they make application for citizenship papers, for the law provides that they must enter legally in the first place. We search the records, and when we find that the applicants have not entered legally we send them back “All told, we have deported more than 4,500 bootleg immigrants since July 1 last—far more than the average for a full twelve months.” Thus from 26400 to 25,000 bootleg immigrants are known to enter the United States annually as deserteri from foreign ships. When there is added to that number the army of thousands also known to have been landed on American shores jn other ways or bootlegged across the Canadlan and Mexican borders, the total ells to imposing proportions. Conservatively, it is hardly less than 100,000 a year, all of whom are of the workmen type. One hundred thousand extra work- men a year to provide jobs for in times of ordinary business activity or of industrial depression Is a factor of such weight that it could easily depress wages. So delicately bal- anced are wage scales between supply and demand that an extra 100,000 men could upset the balance in many industries. That number, for in- stance, if applied wholly to the build- ing trades, would create n surplus of labor the country over instead of the shortage that existed almost everywhere last year. Labor unions, aware of this men- ace, have turned active aides to the immigration officials. Hundreds of cases are reported annually to the Immigration Bureau by the labor unions of various communities, which resent the intrusion of these bootleg immigrants and fear that they will create a surplus of labor that will bring down wages. The attention of the Washington authorities was drawn to the subject by recent surveys in some industrial districts, which: showed somewhat surprising results. The number of available workers in those districts was definitely known; so was the cur- rent demand. Notwithstanding the fact that demand and supply were just about the same, there remained a considerable excess of labor and consequent unemployment. There scemed to be but one an- swer—the bootleg immigrant. A further investigation, which is now in progress, has tended to confirm this answer, with the result that the situation in those sections probably will be corrected, as far as possible, by deportation of such persons as may be found to have entered the country illegally. If such is the situation in a few districts, officials are wondering what it is elsewhere. The present measure of unemployment as a whole seems somewhat too large when the present scale of industrial activity is taken into consideration. Indus- try is steadily increasing in volume, and there should be relatively little unemployment at this time, accord- ing to past surveys of labor supply and demand. Nevertheless there is considerable unemplovment through- out the country today, reports to the Labor Department disclose—more, it is believed, than is warranted by our present industrial activity, ol JANUARY 18, 1925—PART 1. e OOLIDGE SHOWING TENDENCY TO KEEP HARDING APPOINTEES on the seacoast, are making their im- pression on the employment situa- tion throughout the United Sta Advices reaching Washington week indicate that they nereas ing to undue proportions the nun ber of idle workers throughout the | country | How many illegal fmmigrants get measured accurately, but estimates run from 50,000 to 300,000 a year.

However, this will not considered until all other plans fz Before any move is made tow sending the bill to conference I lers wish to be assured that the ate will not follow the usual custom in appointing conferees. If the usual course ix pursued the conferees would be Chairman Norris of the Senate agriculture committee, who led the fight in the Senate against the Un- derwood bill, and Senators McNary, Republican, Oregon, and Smith, Demo- crat, South Carolina, who voted against the bill Norris Stands on Rights. Under the Senate rules, conferees can be appolnted either by the Pres- ident of the Senate or by a direct vote of the Senate. But the custom provides for naming as conferees the chairman and the ranking Republican and Democratic members of the com- mittee which reported the measure Senator Norris has declined to Ni&- ten to the suggestion of Senate leaders that he voluntarily waive any privi- lege as a conferee. In fact he has indicated that he will fight it out on the Senate floor before he will vield. Senator MeNary has remained silent and Senator Smith is out of the city. If the Senate leaders’ will prevails, Senator Underwood, Democrat, Ala- bama, suthor of the bill, and two other Senators friendly to the meas- ure will constitute the conferees. If this is accomplished, House leaders are prepared to send the measure on its way to conference. This can be done in two ways, ecither by unanimous consent or by adoption of a rule ordering it to con- ference. The course was paved for this step yesterday when Chairman McKenzie of the House military com- mittee offered a resolution, calling for Jones, whip, the | be | Sen- By th sociated Press. MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich., Jan- uary 17.—And now the ice boat has glided across the rum-run- ning panorama, its ghostlike sails bellled with boliging winds and its keen blades cutting mock- ing deflance to the law on the Lake St. Clair ice; a new and strange phantom that rushes on the wings of a noreaster through the friendly darkness, bringing contraband liquor from the Cana- dian shore. Hundreds of cases of whisky and beer have come across Lake St. Clair on the wings of the foe vachts. Twelve minutes is the average time required for the trip, members of the State police and Federal “dry navy” say—a speed greater than any pursuit machine at the authorities’ command.

Daladier, French minister of the colonies, is due to reach Geneva to- morrow. He plans to remain not more than a week to settle what is known as the political phase of the opium problem.
