ITALIANS LEAD IN INMIGRATION FIGHT Italy Hardest' BY GEORGE H. MANNING, (Washington Bureau of N. B, Herald) Washingten, D. C., Ieb. 15.-—Con- gressman E. Connecticut district, has, like all the other Connecticut members of gress, been swamped for several weeks with an ever-increasing number of petitions protesting apainst the pas- sage of the Johnson immigration bill just reported to the house of repre- sentatives, Every organization of foreign-born residents of New Britain, and the oth- er cities of his district, Mr. Fenn be- lieves, must have presented him with some sort of petition of memorial or | resolution protesting against the terms | of the Johnson bill. Individual citi- zens have added their personal ap- peals, while of course he has, like | every member of congress, received a vast number of petitions from state and national organizations scattered throughout the country. _ Second only to the interest in the Meilon plan and the soldier bonus is that aroused by the proposed immi- gration bill. In its widespread organi- zation and thoroughness the propo- ganda which has Dbeen circulated ugainst the Johnson proposal is al- most equal to That in favor of the tax reduction bill. Men in all walks of life are beginning to pay more attention to style details, They can’t afford to ignore it—it means much in a " business and personal way. You'll be right in this Hat with the single center crease and no side dents, It’s the last word in style news. ss.oo FITCH-JONES CO. | clear statement of the position of the Claim Is Made Johnson Bill Hits| bill the yearly quota of immigrants Hart Fenn, of the first | con- | | the proposed law, as applied to ltal- | ian immigration, would be to cut the | tions of | have contributed | ously to the up-building, d: jmore law-ablding than the native boru | Ttallan Immigrants, he deelared, come Probably the best organized and most unanimous opposition come from the Italian element in the United States, as ITtaly would be one of the nations hardest hit"by the restrictions in the. Johnson bill. A particularly Italians is contained in a memoran- dum prepared for submission to the president, the cabinet and congres by Hon, Salvatore A. Cotillo, justice of the supreme court of the state of | New York, and grand master of the Order of Sons of Italy of the state of New York. Under the terms of the | | Johnson from any nation admitied to the United States would be two per cent| of the number of natives of that na- tion residing in the United States in 1890, plus two hundred. The present law allows a quota of three per cent| en the census of 1910. The effect of | annual quota from 42,057 to 4,112, or more than ninty per cent. Other na- southeastern lurope would be similarly affected, while the num- ber of iminigrants from the lmtml. Kingddm, Gérmany and other north- ern and western European nations would be reduced nothing like this amount. This legislation, it is declared, ! evineces a spirit of diserimination against Ttaly, which is both dispar- aging to a nation who children nobly d gener- opment and d nse of the United States, and contrary fo the ideals upon which the government of the United States was founded. “While it is only fair that the in- terests of this commonwealth should be paramount,” Judge Cotillo de- clares, “it is unfair, unjust, nd in- equitable to discriminate a st the immigration of certain countries) which have fought with us and shed! their blood with us and helped to build what 18 known as the Great American nation, “The Italian comes her to our shores a strong physique that is ravely excclled, His | temperament, is that of a buoyant, Joyful optin fe type that makes life at all times seem very interesting, | “During the past forty years labor- ers have been a higher porlion of Ttalian immigration In the United States than any other important im- migrant people. “Ravely less than one-half, usually one-half to two-thirds of a year's Italian immigrants have been general laborers. Years of labor in the sunny flelds of Ttaly, a life almost continu- ously out-of-doors, have served to en- rich the Italian with a physical con- stitution and endowed him with rug- ged health that stands him in good stead. Within the past half century the unskilled labor of the Italian im- migrant has contributed much toward the building up of the country. They have bullt our railroads, dug our tun. nels, mined our coal and other metals, erected our buildings, increased our manutagiyres, built up our industry, and ofcommerce,” Judg® Cotflle also dwelt on the | contributions of Ttaly to the profes- slons and to eommerce and the arts.
