The recommendation probably will take the form of a request that the various committees of the house and senate investigate the workings of the laws with a view to correcting any possible defects—without, of course, repealing the protection af- forded thE people against unfair or unjust trade practices. Mr. Hoover has hinted in his re- cent speeches that he was not satis- fled with the way the transportation lact has prevented railroads from ex- | panding their construction program | during the current ddpression, and |has suggested that the anti-trust| laws be responsible for creating de- | structive competition in the bitumi- {nous coal industry.

Dr. Prestes was supported by the outgo- ing president, Washington Luls, and 17 state governors. Vargas had the liberal alliance support and the support of the states of Minas Geraes, Rio Grande do Sul and Parahyba. It is impossible to describe in the limits of the present dispatch the in- cidents of that dramatic presiden- tial campaign which embittered the feelings of the adversaries. The lib- eral alllance charged the admini; tration of Washington Luis with un constitutional procedure and arbi- trary proceedings, and the official party respended with accusations that the liberals were dangerous agi- tators conspiring against the national interests. Intense feeling resulting from these accusations was most marked in Parahyba state, to the north, and in Minas Geraes, where official ‘‘pressure” went to great extremes to insure the success of Dr. Prestes. Popular indignation rose higher when the national congress rejected the credentials of 14 opposition dep- uties; and it reached fever heat with the assassination at Recife (Per- nambuco) of Joao Pessoa, who had been the liberal candidate for vice president of Brazil. The assassination of Pessoa pro- vided the spark which started the present rebellion. FOR BEST RESULTS SE. HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS INMIGRANT TYPE GETTING BETTER Gonsuls Take Steps to Prevent Tnflux of Labor | Washington, Oct. 1 (F—A higher | |type of prospective citizen is enter- |ing the American melting-pot today |than under the system of immigra- | tion selection used up to the present. In an effort to relieve unemploy- ment by reducing the number of ill- equipped immigrants, American consular officers from all parts of Europe met in three separate cities recently to discuss a more rigid ap- | plication of the law permitting con- Isuls to refuse visas to prospective {immigrants who in their opinion might become public charges. | A strict enforcement of these |regulations along the Mexican- | American border reduced the immi- gration of common labor from Mex- ico in a comparatively short period from some 60,000 a year to about 3,500. To effect this reduction, ¢ suls applied strictly the law perm ting them to discriminate between applicants for visas who can ade- |quately support themselves in a pro- fession or have independent means jand the laborers whose entry would |increase unemployment in the | tive United States. A study of the European situation disclosed the influx of laborers into the United States was making it possible for foreign labor to “under- sell” American labor. Frequently American citizens were b dis- missed to make a place for immi- grants who would work for less wages. Under the new system in effect the consul to whom app! tion is {made for a visa now is able to em- ploy wide discretion In this way. visas can readily be confined to persons in professions or trades needing additional help and to persons of independent means who would not deprive of work Harry E.

Evidence of the high quality built into the Ford is the extensive use of ball and roller bearings. There are more than twenty in all—an unusually large number. From the engine to the road, the ertire drive of the new Ford on all forward speeds is wholly on ball and roller bearingg. In addition to smoother operation, this saves gasoline, gives the car more speed and power, decreases noise and increases the durability and efficiency of every moving part. ‘Another important factor in good performance is the care with which the car is made.
