Announcing tentative plans for a tour of European industrial centers, cretary of Labor Davis expects to | from New York July 15, to be gone five or six weeks. While the Secretary has had the trip in mind for several months, plans for it were hastened by the jurisdictional dispute between the bricklayers and plasterers’ unions, which resulted in a strike of plasterers several weeks ago affecting between $75,000,000 and $90,- 000,000 of construction work in a num- ber of large cities. Mrs. Davis plans to leave New York on July 4, and will be joined by the Secretary in Great Britain. The Secretary intends to make a special point of studying conditions in the building trades industry abroad, Tolmanizing Adds Beauty RECALL how grandmother used to tell of cherished heirlooms of linen and proud- ly paint their costliness by the oft-repeat- -ed: “I never trusted them to anyone.

Would Break Strikes. The Secretary holds that under no conditions should foreign labor be im- ported into this country during a strike of workmen over wages or work- ing conditions, but suggestions have been made to him that in a dispute between unions, such as that between the plasterers and bricklayers, there | should be no hesitancy in permitting laborers from abroad to come to this country to do the work that Ameri- cans refuse to do because of disagree- ments among themselves. ‘The Secretary’s plan for revision of the immigration law in this respect calls for elimination of the section of the present law which makes foreign- ers inadmissible to this country when they come here with the promise of a Jjob or under contract to work. This clause, he feels, makes it impossible to get the most desirable class of im- migrants from abroad, the tonserva- tive, steady type that is unwilling to run the risk of getting jobs after ar- riving here.
