REVISION ASKED FOR INMIGRATION Further Restrictions Needed, Report States Washington, Dec. 6. (P—Exten- sive revamping of the immigration laws with the purpose of furthet 1estricting the flow of alicps into the Wnited Slates is recommended by Secretary Dawvis of the Labor De- partment in his anunual report. Dealing with other phases of the department's activity, the docu- ment estimates that more than 1.- en, women and placed in jobs the govenment while its agents ted by Hugh L. cmployment of conciliation, dir Kerwin, have intervened in 478 in- dustrial disputes during the year, secking fo terminafe disputes that disturbed workers are counted.

However, it would also compromise the dispute between the “quota” ana “national or methods of deter- mining admissibility 1o the United States, and would relieve some of the handicaps now imposed on alicns who are admitte. He recommend between the qua gins methods of ible number a compromise “ollowing the slowing down of immigration from Lurope, there was increase in the number of Mexicans entering the country,” the secretary continued. “Thev took ana are continuing o take the places formerly “filled by south and east Europeans.

Secretary Davis also questions the operation of the law favering immi- gration of agricultural labor, as hav. ing failed to attain effectiveness, and suggested alterations. Recent €ourt decisions by which aliens resident in Canada have ob- tained permission to cross the bor- der into the United States were most regretted in the report. “If these decisions are upheld, ft will be impossibie to prevent the entrance into the United States of aliens of any race or color who may gain entry to Canada,” it observes, after stating that appeals to the supreme court are still pending. “If the final decision of the supreme court is aguinst the government, then the present immigration law will be no longer of any effect as a protection to the wage earner of tne United States as against alien lahor of foreign countries, whether Ca- nadian, Mexican or European.” | COMPLAINS OF BARNS ON GREENWOOD STREET Woman Tells Building Department Oficials Place Where Horses Are Kept is Nuisance.
