By the Associated Pr An appeal to Congress to point the way to a new labor supply before shut- ting off the influx of Mexican farm laborers through enactment of the Bot bill to place all Western Hemisphcre nations on a quota basis was made by opponents ot the measure vesterday be- fore the House immigration commiitee. ‘They presented a picture of demoral- ized agricultural conditions, which they said would result in Western and South- western States if Mexican laborers were barred. At the same time, Representative Box, Democrat, Texas, author of ihe measure, prepared to introduce new witnesses (o testity concerning the un- desirability of the Mexicans. E. J. Walker of Phoenlx, Ariz. gen- |eral manager of the Arizona Cotton | Growers' Association, told the commit- tee the experiences of his orgahization in procuring farm labor, declared that his section was not wedded to Mexican labor, but to labor, and urged it to dis- cover an efficient substitute before cut- ting off the present supply. The needs of the California citrus reached longitude 21, latitude 52. Just after daybreak, the chart shows that he spiraled down through a hole in the clouds to the surface. He found less than 500 feet of celling. and then en- countered nearly two hours of heavy fog. through which he flew at 1500 feet. From longitude 21 to latitude 50. he struck a partly cloudy sky and varied his altitude at periods from 10 to 200 feet Local rain clouds were en- countered at longitude 15 and remained with the ship until he reached longi- tude 10. at the southern tip of Ireland, short distance and then went up against 1.500 wheh he encountered clear wea- ther. which remained with him until he reached his destination in Paris 1 p.m. May 21. -~ be satisfied vs:ith less when Buickis priced so low You can buy a Buick closed car for as little as $1195, £ o. b. factory.

The Mexican, he con- tended, was adapted to the seasonal movement from place to place ncees- sary iIn the harvesting of California crops. Representative Smith, Republican, Idaho, chairman of the House irriga- tion committee, appeared to present telegrams from numerous citizens of his State protesting against the enactment of the measure. Pointing to reports of unemployment In many sections of the country, Chair- man Johnson suggested that it might be possible to set up a Government agency to distribute the unemployed where there was a need for labor. Representative Rutherford. Demo- crat, Georgla, sald that many laborers were unemployed in Georgla. beeause the farmers had been unable to market their crops and were forced to leave large areas uncultivated. This had re- stilted, he sald. in the departure of many negroes to Northern industrial centers. Walker said that the peak labor de- mand in Arizona extended over a four- month period during which lettuce, cotton and cantaloupes were being har- vested. The cotton produced he de- scribed as long staple. saying that there was no surplus of this commodity. Urges Three-month Rule. A three-month immigration period, Walker believed. would help to meet the Avizona labor needs. but he declared it would be difficult to assure the return of the laborers to Mexico at the explu-‘ tion of the period. Hardison described the Mexican as better adapted to the tedious task of fruit gathering than any other type of labor.” Americans would avoid orange picking whenever possible, he said, and would turn to other jobs which paid less money in preference. Smith sald that there now were 2.000,000 acres of irrigated land in hi.A‘ State which must be cultivated inten- | sively If it produces profitably. This in- tensive cultivation. he added. could not | be carried on without the Mexican la- | borer. The citizens of his State, he sald, | |also were protesting against the exclu- | sion of Canadlans on the ground that ! it would be a discourtesy to Canada. | The Idaho Representative described ‘lhl‘ Mexican as better adapted to work | |in the sugar beet fields than any other | ype of laborer. | REBUILT SHIP IS READY. | | Liner America Will Leave Virginia| Port Saturday. | The liner America of the United | States lines, which has been rebuilt {into a_cabin boat, wili leave Newport | News, Va., next Saturday for New York where she will take up regular trans- atlantic sailings.
