KEEP UNDESIRABLE ALIENS OUT OF U. S. Congress Showing Ne Disposi tion te Cut Off Entiro'For Entire'For Entiro'Fer eign Laber Supply REQUEST OF FEDERATION OF LABOR TO BE DENIED Ry CLINTON W. OILRERT Staff Cormpendrnt Krrnlnic Publle LUer CotvrteM, 1010, bv PubUe Ledger Ce, Washington, D. C, Nev. 30. The immigration problem created by the present rush of Europeans te this ceun try cannot be met inside of six months unless the situation becomes re acute that Congress should be forced te act In the short session. As the tldn of immigrants usually responds quickly te business conditions, It is likely, with surplus labor already available in this country nnd factories closing down, that immigrants will nulcklv sten cemtnir. In that case Cen gress will have leisure te make plans and a law will be passed seme time next summer. - Congress Is apparently net going te be stampeded into excessive restriction of immigration. The American Federa tion of Laber has demanded the total exclusion of Immigrants, but this is net likely te be done. The business interests of the country, which a short time age Buffered from a shortage of labor ami had te pay excessive wages, are no doubt opposed te the complete cutting off of this country from the European labor market, and Congress Is at least as likely te listen te the employers of labor as te organized labor Itself, i The war left a distinct shortage of immigration, cutting off the usual flew of 700,000 n year. Upen this flew of labor te America American business has denended for many vears. If busi ness once mere becomes active, the shortage of labor resulting from the closing of the seas te travel during the war will ence mere be felt. Would Exclude Undesirables The chief demand of the country Is new te keep out the undcslrnble for eigner who is seeking te enter. Since the outbreak of radicalism in Europe and especially in Russia, there has been n widespread desire te have a mere careful supervision exercised ever these who may be admitted te our ports. It Is only upon a policy of selection of emigrants that American business, including the American farmer, whose interests arc te maintain for industry access te the European labor supply, and the American Federation of Laber,, which wants nil foreign competition with the American laborer stepped, and the Americans of foreign extraction who for religious or racial reasons want the American ports kept open te their coreligionists or fellow nations, can, possibly agree. American business wants the trouble treublo treuble making alien of racial tendencies ex cluded for the sake of pcace in industry. The leadewef thcr federation 0f laberj who want te keep labor conservative, want that much exclusion at least. And the forelgn-bern Americans or theso of foreign parentage are willing te conceUe the justice of that much re striction. That Is about ns far as restriction is likely te go. -The difficulty is te secure the intelligent! and effective selection of immigrants. Ne attempt hitherto made te exclude undesirables has been suc cessful. The literacy test admits the most dangerous aliens, for the worst agitators arc the best educated, while it excludes just the type of laborer whom this country most needs. May Create Commission As in se many ether cases, where no hard and fast laws may be pussed defin ing who is desirable and who is net, Congress is likely te put the whele sub ject of restricting up te a commission with discretionary powers. Senater Themas Sterling, of Seuth Dakota, will introduce a 1)111 providing for the crea tion of an immigration heurd which shall have large discretion nnd which may fix the ban at any level it sees fit according as immigration comes this Way tee slightly or tee strongly. .Mr. Sterling has net yet decided upon the personnel of his beard. It will be composed of several members rather than one, for various interests, in dustrial, racial nnd religious, arc in volved. One propesul is te, huve the various members of the cabinet whose duties nrc related te industry, commcrce and labor, and who thus come In con tact with the Immigration problem, sit en the beard. An addition would lie ether members representing directly the interests affected. The cabinet mem bers might be the secretary of state, the secretary of commerce and the secre tary of labor. The difficulty with this proposal is that the cabinet members are already sufficiently occupied with their own duties. t Would Control Volume One novel suggestion of Mr. Sterling's is that the beard should have the power net only te determine who is fit and who Is net nmeng the immigrants, but te control the volume of immigration by raising and lowering standards. Fer example, at the present moment when the llew of Immigration released by the ending of war conditions Is large and nt the same tlme the opportunities of employment arc small, such a beard ns Mr. Sterling proposes might raise the bars. The practical value of that suggestion will be tested In the next few mouths. It is probable that the present flew of Immigration here started before the let down In business, which began two or three months age, it it does net step when Europe learns that the new ar rivals here are jobless, then there may be need of a beard with authority te make a sliding scale of admission. But past experience has always been that th flew of immigration te this country depended upon the state of the labor marKct ncrc. Yield Their Jobs te Give Werk te Unemployed Cincinnati, Nev. 30.

McFadden, Jr., has extended across the Atlantic ocean te Paris. Investigation of the $00,000 jewel robber"y nt the Vlllaneva home of the McFaddcns, together with the invesU invesU gatlen of ether big jewel robberies In this country recently, Is new being made In the French capital. Dcflnlte clues that proceeds of many big Jewel robberies in this nnd ether large cities were being taken abroad for disposal developed the information that the hunt for the McFadden, necklace had been extended across the eqcan. The suspected operations of nn organ ized gang of thieves has been confirmed in a cable from Berlin, in effect that "smuggling operations en a gigantic scale were being conducted by which the jewels stolen from American mil lionaires were being handled through a conspiracy of the thieves and American sailors." Doubts Gcrman Theory Supposedly, "the stolen gems ere Belne Inte Germany because of the security afforded the smugglers. The ".stntn of unr" which still exists be- 'tween the United States nnd Germany is regarded as a distinct safeguard should the Berlin police become tee active. Until such time arrives, how ever, the smugglers feel little or no fenr of apprehension, or even of interference with their plans. When given the details of the Berlin advices, William E. Miller, an insur ance adjuster, of Fourth and Walnut streets, admitted the possibility of the condition that hundreds of thousands of dollars in stolen jewels were being taken across the Atlantic. But he ridicnlcd the idea that Berlin is the center of operations.

At Buckius street four men in nn automebilo balled him and asked hltn te lend them a screwdriver te make re pairs te their car. He procured the tool from n box nt the side of his truck nnd was handing it te one of the men when- one of them whipped out a re velver. Three of the. men surrounded Talis nick and demanded his money. Talis nick handed ever his 5800 without an outcry. He was se frightened, he told the police, that he did net take note of the license number of the automobile- The only description he could give of the robbers was that they are young. After obtaining his money the four men ordered Tallsnlck back in his truck. They started him north en Frankford n venue nnd fled toward Ken sington avenue en Buckius Btrcet. , Overlook $75 In Overcoat Antheny Silver, of 2520 Seuth Tenth street, was held up near his home shortly after midnight by two masked men who robbed him of 542, but over ever over ienked 575 which he had in his over coat pocket.

They obtained no loot. Laskcy was ulope in the Btere when the llve men entered. He was wrap ping a package, and when he turned te waft en them hn was confronted by five pistols, leveled at his head. "Give us your money nnd make no noise," ene of the men ordered. Luskey held up his hands nnd told the rob bers nil his money was in the cash reg ister. .... One of the men looked in the rash register and seeing only $3; disdainfully ignored it.

In the citv where the thieves and the smugglers hope te realize their profits. "In the first place, the money isn't available In Berlin te handle purchases of the type which would be offered. The money Is available in Paris. Meney Is In Paris "There are many very wealthy Amer icans visiting Paris. And Americans are the heaviest buyers of jewels. Take au article such as the necklace, stolen from Mrs. McFadden, for Instance. It Is almost Ironical when ene considers that If effeied In Paris the buyer would probably be an American j the nccklace would return In a slieft time te this country in n form ether than a ncck ncck laeo, and the buyer, would pay 25 pet cent duty te get It in. "Just en the besis that the money Is in Paris nnd net in Berlin, the in vestigatiens covering eig jewel rob beries of this country would naturally be centered In Paris." Following the statement made by Mr. Miller It was definitely lenrned the McFadden Investigation had reached Paris. But whether productive of ma terial results as yet was left a prob lematical matter by the Informant. Anether reason emphasizing the be lief that the McFadden necklace has gene ever the ocean Is that net a Blnple trace of the necklace or of any of the Jewels stolen from the McFad den house has ever developed, except several mysterious phene calls.
