AMERICA MAY BE LEFT WITHOUT ANY IMMIGRATION LAW AT ALL (Continued From Page One.) room for partisan politics in solving | +he immigration problem* “The problem,” Mr. Cable said, “is a purely patriotic Question in volving American traditions and ' ideals. Democrats and Republicans | alike, in my opinion, are equally loyal in their desire to protect J America and the American people i,/ from the'influx of immigrants that j v threaten to come to the United States at the present time. \ “The partisan issue was not raised until what I term a foreign bloc raised its hdad and held out its votes to the Republican party and to the Democratic party alike, offering its *• support and votes to the party that > would assist them in the defeat of ’ the immigration bill and threaten mg the defeat of the other party.” ' Congress Must Repudiate Dictation, | Cable Declares. Alter pointing out that open threats have been made tliat the l party that supports restricted immi gration will lose the'votes of great numbers of foreign-born citizens, Mr. Cable declared: s“; “I repeat, partisan politics have no place in this patriotic question. It is a non-partisan proposition, and ^ it is a serious matter of determining who shall come to the United States and who may become American citi zens. Congress must not be dictated to by a foreign bloc in framing the ' law.” N : In closing his address, Mr. Cable * .replied to objections that have been made against the Johnson immigra te ion bill, which organized labor has ndorsed. In answer to charges that t would bar close relatives of for eigners already in this country, he ! pointed out that the bill admits fire side relatives of American citizens :nd that persons so admitted aye not , ounted in the quotas of their re *• votive countries. , posed Changes Are Necessary, l Speaker Says. / eeking of the good features of | iio bill, he said: “The national need for a further ’estrictive as well as selective meas re is recognized in the bill. The hanges proposed are not radical but ; necessary and may be summarized s as follows: “The weaklings are weeded out * abroad by means of a certificate plan < and the granting to American con suls the discretion tb refuse vises to those in their opinion undesirable. ; No families will be separated be cause of excess quotas, as no one can start without a certificate, which must be used within two months from the date of issue. It also pre vents the racing of huge liners across the ocean to be tfie first td Jand their passengers. By means of this cer tificate plan a steady flow of fore^n born through Ellis Island will be possible, resulting in a more thor ough and more intensive examina tion.' ."v \ "Thd* quota is reduced from 3 to 2 per cent, so that new arrivals may be limited to our capacity to absorb them. The census ef 1890 instead of that of 1910 is proposed. “No discrimination against any country can be claimed, because fathers and mothers over 55 years of age, husbands ^and wives of citi zens of the United States, as well as their unmarried minor - children under 18 years of age, are admitted as nob-quota immigrants, and such persons will come chiefly from coun tries whose quotas will be cut. Fight Net Yet Won, Congressmen. Are Told. - “A minimum quota of 200 is pro vided for every country. Seepage of alien seamen into the United I States will be stopped by means of a landing-card provision. The pro posed bill -reduces the number who may come from 357,000 to 169,00Q. “The fight for further restrictive immigration is not as yet won. The bill is not a law. Alien influence, international in character, is joining forces with ‘alien blocs’ in the United States to prevent the passage of this measure. In large cities where the foreign born hold the balance of power, threats of political punish ment have already gone out to their Congressmen in case the measure is passed. -- ‘Our Nation, csither economi cally nor socially, needs more im migrants, but it does need to make good citizens of aliens now here. This is best accomplished by the restrictive policy of this bill. America must be kept American.” ANTIS ARE DESERTED. St. Paul, Minn., March 12.—The citizen’s alliance whines that busi ness men are deserting its caiise. The alliance says it was assured that? business men would aid build ing contractors if they declared for the anti-union shop. That’s why the alliance is lecturing business men on “the sacredness of contracts.” Old Guard is Panicky: Cowers Before the Storm ! Washington, March 12.—The old J guard is panieky. Teapot Dome is : bad enough, but other troubles loom. Investigations and probes are the t order of the day as governmental scandal after scandal is unearthed. Things would *'r'4- *»*■■*«» serious if these matters could be switched into the federal court of some former corporation lawyer, hut the senate indicates no desire to have the scan dals hushed up. “You are causing the people to be suspicious of government,” shriek the agents of big business. They are told that the people are getting suspicious of the spokesmen for priv ilege. The old guard dare not openly oppose these investigations, so they make flank attacks by attempted rid icule and by .pleading for a “fair trial” for those yet in office who wtere parties to looting the nation’s resources. In the senate, the agents of priv ilege declare that body “is swept off its feet by a wave of hysteria.” This was said once jbo often last week, and was answered by Sena tor Caraway in a speech that, was marked by withering sarcasm. “It may be that the senate is hys . ierical,” said the Arkansas law m,aker. “If it is, it is hysterical in trying-, to see that crimes shall be punished and the people's property protected.” "'SPhe disordered condition of the old guard is best indicated by the manner in which tlfe committee to investi'"'4-' J1-~ o+f--nev general was selected. The old guard wanted the committee appointed by the pre siding officer of the senate. The progressive element wanted the com mittee selected from the flotfr of the senate. The old guard then assumed its favorite pose when cornered. “To not let the presiding officer appoint this committee would be a reflection on his integrity; it would be dis courteous,” they said. This had no effect on the pro gressives, who announced'that the committee would be chosen from the floor. The old guard had to ac cept the Jbitter dose. Senator La Follette nominated Senator Brook hart as chairman. The other mem bers of the committee are Messrs. Moses and Jones, representing the administration party, and Messrs. Robinson and Wheeler, representing the minority party. This incident- .is m'ost significant. It indicates how impotent the old guard has become.

Washington, March 12.—The' Federal Trade Commission has issued a complaint charging ,un fair methods, of competi|8§ii: against thp'f v The o^ado Whol^sfe' 'Grocers— Qlup, aft association of t^hqlesale deai • ers in foodstuffs ahdo groce^ied, organized for,.the 'purpose of On operating to promote and ihrpteet their common interests; L. • F, Hickman and* M, E.

WOULD SPEND N MILLIONS TO FIGHT UNION (Continued from Page One.) such a communication to the Amer ican Federation of Labor; he sent it to the newspapers. The A. F. of L. represents that part of the public that cannot be fooled all the time. Barr's statement was intended for that part of the gullible public -that is fooled all the time. Eut Bans’s Barnum role is becoming harder ahd harder. Fewer and fewer people patronize his hulabaloo. All is not well under the big ^ent. The cry, “Hey, Rube!” comes with a fre quency painful to the diamond stud ded impressarios. • What Mr. Bair shys to- the public and what he says in private are en tirely at variance, as those who have had the privilege of sitting m at his private seances with the buccaneers among men industrially prominent can testify. There ik no question about the fact that the American Motion Pic ture Corporation will eventually op pose the 8-hour day, child labor leg^ islation, restriction of immigration and other forward-looking move ments of organized labor just as they will oppose the organization of unions. The owners of Southern < textile mills on the board of the Corporation have no delusions about that, nor have many of those who have been approached about asso ciating themselves with the organisa tion. But that propaganda is not be ing disseminated at present; that would be too obvious for a group of men accustomed to propaganda methods. The Corporation is npw trying to establish a reputation in the trade for bona fide motion picture features, because theatre owners, know' t&at propaganda pictures sound their own leath knell when they are too bla-j tantly done and are weary of concerns in the field. But even this is proving an expensive venture. In ternational Labor Nfews Service is informed that none of the distribut ing branches is making money. No anti-union pictures have yet been shown by Barr’s outfit. Has agents have been peddling pictures of the Community Picture Corpora tion and the International Church Film Company, two groups with fine sounding names, which have been brought up by Barr.- But an organ ization that is prepared to ldsefya million dollars a year is worth watching. _ BELMONT BOYS ON THE JOB Belmont, March 12.—Local 122& Belmont, Gaston County, held a ^eH’ interesting meeting Saturday, Mareh 8.. There was not much business to come up before the local so the time was spent in discussing labor and the conditions rof ‘the textile workers. Brother Eatough was with us and gave us a good talk as he always foes anywhere he goes. We think it is getting about time for Brother Barrett to come over imd see the lost tribe again. Mr. C. P. Barringer has promised bo be with us on April 12. Our committees have mailed let ters to the editors of the newspapers I >f Gaston eounty to let them know hat the textile workers of the South ire going to be organized and. the textile workers and the organizers jf the American Federation of Labor ire looking for a square deal through their papers. We are not going to pay men to fight us. FLOWERS SAYS THE GOVERNMENT MEANS MUCH TO AVERAGE MAN (Contfoi&a From, Page. Ohe.) | aiid sincere ih their Belief that a bus iness administration is the best thing for the community and the people they are to serve.

That’s a bus iness administration, as -' seen by business men. >' r “Therefore, I repeat to you that} it matters little about the individual'' amountyto & great deal to just what that man stands? for, what he ! is interested in* and the things he [lives for. No other people on earth’ are so seriously affected by govern t ment as the average man who spends a life time in paying for a little home and educaifaig his children. seeking office, but I Goverhment means little to the rich, who cari'live regardless of vfrhSt hap pens, nor does government mean much to the tramp and vagabond, who is not trying to improve himself nor his children. But to the average man- , whose whole life's work nets a little home and some scrafiSung^for his children, govern in eyary;;Bitan who seek's public office, from president down to the lowest office in the community. You ought to be interested in your eounty of ficials, -and more especially in the selection of your representatives to the legislature. Mecklenburg has a good set of men in the legislature, as individuals,- but as men who are interesetd in your welfare, you can not expect much from them, Not one of them would introduce one of these measures your organization is urging—-not one of them. You have a long, hard road to travel, and many enemies to subdue, and your worst enemy is yourself.” r-■ -y . . [CLARK’S EVIDENCE IS DISCREDITED; NOT NECESSARY TO ANEWER IT ^ (Continued from Page One.} the committee at all. kMr.' Claris has made :a hard fight opposition tff' the - government mtrol of Child labor. For many years pie has waged an incessant battle against the inevitable. It was inevitable, because the very thing he relied upon, state legislation, has been secured against the , combined influences of those who . worked child rep. Now Hr. Clark Admits the amendment proposition will carry and that there will be a federal child labor law. It had to be, be^ cause the opposition has never had any sound arguments against it. The very fact that the manufacturers apd their employed* apd paid spokesmen have been against child labor legis lation has always been taken as prima facie evidence that the manu facturers did want to employ child ren, else they would not*have so bit-: terly opposed child labor legislation.
