the House Immigration Committer In support of the Welch Bill for exelusion, the Filipino immigrant was pictured generally as a city dwelling whlte-collored workman, formidably competitive with American labor In I the light industrial tasks which hitherto fell to middle-aged ami eld erly workers. Ihe Filipino was represented, moreover, as unduly gregarious - dwelling in crowded houses; and as n social menace because of his alleged undue fondness for the companionship of white girls. It was evident from the hearings that some elements in California regard the iHliptno Immigrant as more objectionable than his Chinese and Japanese predecessors. I* iliphio witnesses, however, pittured the Filipino in this country as a very different type. He was most frequently represented as an ambitious young man struggling for an education, who hoped eventually to return to the Phillipptnes. His tasks it was lepresentod, were in tli> great majority of cases noncompetitive. He generally maintained high standards of personal

1 "iidin I, kept out of trouble, and rarely martiod a white woman. American official* before the com , mlttee estimated the Filipino population of mainland United States at not more than 55,000, of whom the majority were men who originally had come to Hawaii as plantation laborers but subagquently had j moved over to the main land. Hr. Hllario Camino Moncado, president of the Filipino Federation of America, believed however that there may be 65,000 Filipinos in thu United States. Moncado gave the committee enlightening information on the whereabouts and economic activities of these Filipinos, likely to have a bearing on the committee's future deliberations. Many of the 4QDO Fllipinoz in the vicinity of New York are engaged in steward work on United States naval vessels. Their concentration there is due to the presence of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Some have left the war-vessels and have taken up shore occupations in order to attend night schools. Moncado claimed that of five thousand Filipinos in Chicago, over half are attending school or colleges. Two thousand PFilipinos in IzOtiisiana are engaged in fishing and trapping for the fur-bearing animals Many of them have been there for a long time. A small number of Filipinos is engaged in the canefields. Two hundred Filipinos in Washington practically all are in colleges or universities, many studying for advanced degrees in law and economics. The Alaskan fish canneries are an important center of Filipino activity. The Filipinos go there from San Francisco and Puget Sound in the summer season, improving the opportunity for a quick cash cleanup in the brief summer packing season; and then re-enter school in the fall. Relief From Curse Os Constipation A Battle Creek physician says, “Constipation is responsible for more misery than any other cause.” But immediate relief has been found. A tablet called Rexall Orderlies has been discovered. This tablet attracts water from the system into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called the colon. The water loosens the dry food waste and causes a gentle,, thorough, natural movement without forming a habit or ever increasing the dose. Stop suffering from constipation. Chew a Rexall Orderlie at night. Next day bright. Get 24 for 25c today at the nearest Rexall Drug Store. The B. J. Smith Drug Co.

The real zone of friction between Filipinos and white workers, however, appeared to be in California, where about 30,000 of the Filipinos now dwell. They came chiefly from Hawaii, expecting to find larger opportunities than were available on the Hawaiian plantations. Recognizing a real problem in California Vincent Villamin, prominent Filipino attorney of New York, has suggested the following solution: “Let the Hawaiian planters refuse to employ Filipinos coming direct from the Philippines; and let them meet their labor requirements by recruiting the Filipinos from the Pacific coast. ‘ The plan will solve four problems: it will keep the Filipinos from leaving the Philippines in great numbers; it should appease the Filipinos exclusionist agitation in America; it will meet the Filipino unemployment problem on the Pacific Coast, and it will satisfy the need of Hawaii for Filipino labor. “The majority of the Filipinos on the Pacific Coast came from Hawaii, whither they were brought by the Hawaiian planters as conraet laborers. They moved to the nainland, thinking they would improve their economic condition, only o experience the saddest disillusionment. It is believed, especially at this time, that many of them can he induced to return to Hawaii and take up their old jobs.

LOSS OF VOTE IS SERIOUS FOR SOVIET MASS After Disfranchisement in Russia Threat of Starvation Hovers By Eugene Lyons Moscow, April 30 (UP) —Great 1 injustice by local functionaries in depriving persons of their franchise more serious loss in this country! than atiywnere else in the world ire ciiaiged by no less authoritative Soviet leader than Abe] Enukidze secretary of the Central Executive; Committee of the country. Disfranchisement here means ex- | elusion from the trades union and | i consequently the menace of starvn- , tion. Until a recent decree removed these disabilities, It also meant the daily, r of expulsion from their i homes, denial of food rations, exclu- | sion of their children from schools ; and similar discriminations. Among the absurd and illegal i causes for which people have been l disfranchised Enukidze in a recent article lists the following: In one district all persons over ; 65 years old were adjudged unfit to vote. In another all girls of 20 years or ■ older but still unmarried were plae-, | eil in the ca egory of "nuns'' and therefore denied the franchise. 1 | People weie disfranchised be--1 cause they received as low as 15 I rubles a mouth in rent or other capitalistic fashion. In Kazakstan three persons lost i their vote because "they may in the future employ hired labor." In Riazan a citizen was disfran- • chised cn the ground that he “desires to trade.” In other cities disfranchisement ,1 included persons who were “scan i dal-mongers,” “sang in church choir,” “received alimony,” etc. Enukidez even cites an extreme < a e in which all the church-goers in a village were deprived of their I vote. Ho emphasizes that these are on- | ly horrible examples and must not ! lie taken as representatives. Never- ! Iheiess he shows that they prove the need for gieater care in the ma'ter. "It is self-evident " he declares, “that all these facts, which were permitted in a number of places,] have no relations to the policy of the Soviet government On the coni trary, all these abuses are water on 1 the mill wheels of the counter-revol-

I ul lon and provide the best materiel] for counter-revolutionary propaganI da. “It Is quite clear that the Soviet government cannot agree with such | wildness and therefore takes and) ] will take decisive measures to fight I i every violation of the frumtiise j laws." Enukidez calls for special care in i determining the fitness to vote of. the Jewish population. He points, out that the majoi iy of Jews were 1 forced to live us traders and small manufacturers under the Tsarist regime because of legal barriers against other means of making
