Jfet Increase in Immigrant Popula
tion for Tear 193,514, Says
Secretary of Labor.
WASHINGTON, Dec 14. Establish
ment of machinery overseas in co
operation with foreign governments
through which aliens before break
ins up their homes may determine
whether they will be admitted to the
United States, and legislative consid
eration of the proposals of the second
Industrial conference are outstand
ing recommendations In the annual
report of Secretary Wilson, made pub
lic today.
The labor secretary devotes much
. cf his report to discussion of Immi
gration and the expulsion of alien
revolutionaries. He asserts that he
aJone has authority to order the ar
rest and expulsion of aliens, although
the bureau of immigration has as
sumed to itself power - not only to
make recommendations but also to
make findings.
The report shows that 633,371 aliens
arrived in this country during the
last fiscal year as compared with
237,021 the year before. Of the total
arrivals 11,795 were excluded at the
ports where they sought to enter. Of
these arrivals 430,001 are classed as
Immigrant aliens and 195,575 as non
Immigrant aliens. Departures of
aliens totaled 428,062, including 288,
215 emigrant aliens and 139,747 -non-emigrant
aliens, making the net in
crease in the immigrant population
for the year 193,514.
16,174' Japanese Admitted.
Japanese admitted numbered 16,174,
as compared with 14,904 the year be
fore. The total number of Japanese
departing is placed at 15,653, making,
the report says, the indicated increase
in Japanese population 521. Of those
admitted 9193 were males and 6sol
females.
Besides the Immigrants turned back
at the por,ts of arrival, 2762 were or
dered deported during the year on
departmental warrants, as compared
with 3,068 the year before. Of those
deported on warrants 469 were classed
as anarchists and criminals.
Warrants for 6000 immigrants al
leged to be revolutionaries were Is
sued during the year, Mr. Wilson
Lays, but a very large proportion of
them were canceled, "because the
charges upon which they had been
Issued were not sustained by lawful
proof at the hearing." In addition to
the 314 anarchists deported, 591 oth
ers are awaiting deportation, accord
ing to the report.
Mr. Wilson says that during the
year 519,003 aliens took the initial or
final steps toward citizenship. While
this is less tha:. the record total of
the year before, Mr. Wilson says the
decrease is confined to aliens in mili
tary service and results from the de
mobilization of the army. First pa
pers were filed by 300,106 aliens,
while petitions for final naturaliza
tion were filed by 166.925 aliens in
civil life and 51,972 soldiers.
Many Dinpntes Ad justed.
Turning to the industrial situation,
Mr. Wilson urges legislative action
to carry out the recommendations of
the second industrial conference pro
posing joint organizations of man
agement and employes for prevention
of industrial disputes and a compre
hensive plan for adjusting such dis
putes when they occur. Attention is
called that during the year the labor
department's division of conciliation
was called upon to utilize its good
offices in more than 4100 industrial
disputes "directly involving more
than 3,125,000 workers and indirectly
involving more than 3,500,000."
"The department," says Mr. Wilson,
"stands for collective bargaining. It
recognizes collective bargaining as in
the nature of 'gentlemen's agree
ments' in contradistinction to legal
and forcible contracts. Collective
bargains cannot be regarded in the
same category as ordinary contracts,
because there is no mutuality. The
employer does not agree and cannot
agree to give steady employment to
all the wage-earners' concerned nor
to any specified number. Consequent
ly the workers included in such a
bargain could have no legal claim
except tnat tney were actually em
ployed by the other party to the bar
gain and at his discretion. There
would be no fairness in making euch
contracts enforceable at law. To per
mit collective bargainings to be le
gally enforceable would be to dis
courage the making of them. To
leave their fulfillment to the good
sense and good faith of each side
would encourage their making and
thereby promote industrial peace."
The labor secretary renews his rec
ommendation for legislation to im
prove the work of labor distribution
by making public lands and commu
nity credits more accessible. He also
again urges congress to provide gov
ernmental means for the adequate
training of workers in industry and
to provide for federal control of the
Interstate transportation of private
police, troops and guards for indus
trial purposes.
CHINESE OPPOSE LOANS
Local Group Declares Present Gov
ernment Is Not Reliable.
Because of the present unsettled
conditions in China, the Chinese Na
tional league of Portland has adopt
ed resolutions recommending against
the sending of money from this coun
try to China.
A telegram express'ng the opposi
tion of the league to the making of
any loans to either north or south
China for the Chinese republic was
cent Monday by Lee Quinn, secretary
of the Portland league, to the Pier
pont Morgan company for the Amer
ican group of the Chinese consortium.
The present government, according
to this wire, is unsettled and without
responsibility, and the Chinese people
are therefore unwilling to assume
liability for loans as long as present
governmental conditions in China con
tinue. Third Accident ra-oves Fatal.
CEXTRALIA, Wash., Dec. 14.
(Special.) Ray McNulty died last
night In a Centralia hospital follow
ing injuries sustained Saturday at an

crossing and a few weeks later he
was struck by a falling tree in a log
ging camp on Mill creek.

F
TILL. SCOPE Is given to George
Fitzmaurice's talent for blend
ing romantio etory and lavishly
artistic backgrounds In "Idals of
Clay" now running at the Columbia
theater. The result is a picture that
Is in many respects even more appeal
ing and spectacular than Mr. Fitz
maurice's "On With the Dance" and
"The Right to Love."
With settings that shift rapidly
from a langorous South" Sea isle to
the resorts of London high society
and then to an opium den in the Lime
house underworld, the story, written
by Ouida Bergere, is well supplied
with thrilling moments. Mae Murray
is seen as an innocent South Sea
girl, daughter of a pearl-smuggling
recluse, while David Powell, the other
featured- player, is a young London
sculptor, who, seeking to forget an
unfortunate love affair, drifts to the
tropics. Through the love of the
South Sea maid, his shattered faith in
womankind and in his career, is re
stored. The pleasing work of Miss Murray
and Mr. Powell is supplemented by
that of a thoroughly adepuate sup
porting cast which includes Ge0ge
raftceu anu jjorotny ummings.
The Columbia picture players fur
nish an intelligent musical accompan
iment for the feature.
Screen Gossip.
Comment was made on the old su
perstition that playing "Nearer, "My
God, to Thee" in a theater will bring
leath to one of its employes within
three days when Vincent C. Knowles,
director of the Columbia picture play
ers, chose the musical accompaniment
for "Idols of Clay."
The musical score was played at
the opening showings of the picture
last Saturday.

Alfalfa Raising Districts of State
Plan to Obtain Herds and
Save Crops.
Central and eastern Oregon farmers
whohave specialized in the produc
tion of alfalfa for the hay market In
the past are now fuming to the de
velopment or aairying as tne oniy
solution to the present critical situ
ation brought about by the cbllapse
of the hay -market, according to S. P.
Graham of Vale, Or., who arrived In
Portland yesterday. -
Mr. Graham and C. M. Eeaumiw of
Nyssa, representing a large grbup of
alfalfa-raising interests in Malheur
county, announced that they have
come to the Willamette valley for the
express purpose of looking over the
dairy sections of the valley with a
view to acquiring as much high-grade
dairy stock as possible and also to
interest farmers from this locality
in the possibilities of Malheur county
as a dairying section. -"'
"We have at least 12,000 tons of
alfalfa hay ready for shipment, and
not half enough stock in the county
to feed it to this winter," said Gra
ham. "Furthermore, the market is
absolutely dead. We can't sell at any
price. The only answer is to ship In
the cattle and start an intensive
dairying schedule that will meet the
situation and help in the upbuilding
of the land at the same time."
The first shipment of stock to Mal
he"ur county will be transported by
Mr. Beaumont, according to Mr. Gra
ham. The first section to ,be scoured
for dairy stock will be In and around
Hillsboro, where the eastern Oregon
farmers will be accompanied by an
expert from the Oregon Agricultural
college, who will assist in selecting
the herd.

DOUGHNUT SQUAD IS BUSY
'JCXIOK DETECTIVES" WIS
RECOGXITIOX OX FORCE.
Many of the "Little Fellows" Have
Army Discharges Showing Wounds
Received in Action During War.
At last the "Boy Scouts," otherwise
known as the junior detectives, or the
doughnut squad, have won recogni
tion In-spite of the good-natured jabs
of repartee to which huskier mem
bers of the police force have subject
ed them during the past year.
They are members of the auto theft
department. Their commander is
Lieutenant Harvey Thatcher, who, al
though he Is as big as any three of
them, only draws pay for one man.
He claims that his "little fellows" do
the work of three men for the pay of
one.
"Go get 'em, boys," commands the
lieutenant, when a call comes In. "I'll
buy the doughnuts and coffee when
you get back."
Then Thatcher pulls two or three
of them out of his overcoat pockets,
pats them on the back and they go
get 'em.
And wben dinner time comes
somewheK about midnight he buys
thpm dousrhnuta and coffee.
The "little fellows" do not take of
fense when they are joked. Many of
them have army discharges showing
they received wounds in action dur
ing the war. Others have had plenty
of experience combing no man's land
When they were discharged from the
army they went to work on the police
force with the intention of keeping
their trigger finger limbered up.
"If you've got a hard job, just tell
the doughnut sq.uad about it."
Thatcher tells other police officers,

The little fellows average about 5
feet 4 or 5 inches. They are wiry and
trim. Dress them up In a helmet and
a blue suit and they do look funny in
comparison with the stately traffic
officers. But they work in plain
clothes and when the public sees them
the public doesn't know they are po
lice. They are at present engaged In
rounding up undesirables for-introduction
to Judge Rossman. They
have mkde about 250 such engage
ments during the past five days and
still are at work. The jail last night
was again filled to overflowing.
Lieutenant Thatcher is grinning,
for at last other members of the force
have admitted that the doughnut
squad has earned Its doughnuts.
