in behalf of the department, of, labor,
Commissioner (Icnernl of Immigra
tion Caminctti today asked tho mem
bers of the house immigration com
mittee to confine Asiatic 'exclusion
legislation to Hindus. He carefully
avoided using the word "Japanese."
"The department of labor," snid
Caminctti, "jo far hits considered tho
Asiatic exclusion question solely ns
it relates to Hindus and from an
economic, but not a racial viewpoint.
Their exclusion Is supposed to be un
emergency matter. Jfy department
suggests that this legislation be con
fined to Hindus only."
Caminctti suggested Hint the pro
visions of the Chinese exclusion law,
which includes merchants as well as
laborers, be extended to Hindus. He
did not state whether either Presi
dent Wilson or Secretary of 9nte
Hryan had requested the deport
ment of labor's recommendation.
