Washington, D. C, Jan. 5. Rome is controlling immigration on this continent wherever it can. Especially is it trying to govern the flow of aliens into the United States. These immigrants must be followers of the pope or they will not be admitted if by any possibility they can be kept out. Defeated in its fight on the Immigration bill the agents of the pope are busy in other directions. Shut out, to a degree, on the south they have turned toward the north and are striving to clutch Canada in their grip.

Human Catholic activity In Canada shows that the hierarchy is busy In two ways: Shut Out I'rotestants. They are able ot shut out Protestant Immigrants, and they are admitting 1 tomans who. If necessary, can run tin- underground route into the United States. This Is accomplished In this fa; h ion: "Canada Is In a position to secure hundreds of thousands of the most di'Kirahle nett'.ers from the British IhIcs. but the Department of Immigra'tion at Ottawa Is becoming so thoroughly Romanized that grave suspicions arise as to whether advantaRe will be taken of the opportunity. Kvery effort is made to facilitate the entrance of Roman Catholics," savs the Toronto Sentinel. "Rut all kinds of Impediments have been put In the way of Rrltish I'rotestants.

Hut the Rrltish Government Is powerless unless It has the co-operation of the Canadian Government.

"Our devotion to America and American institutions must never be successfully challenged," declared William Green, new president of the American Federation of Labor, in a recent interview. Mr. Green is a firm believer in the doctrines of Americanism. The above statement, issued on attaining his high office, demonstrated his attitude on this

question and there can be no question as to his position. The new labor president also stands for education and he believes with all his heart in organization for the working men of this country. Education and organization ar.e to be

watchwords under his regime.

The office of this group of French clergy is on Craig Street,Montreal. "That the papal plan for the Immigration Department of Canada is to fill the Dominion with tractable Romanists there can be no doubt. Men of that faith have been planted in the key positions to carry out the plan, and only by public opinion being aroused and made vocal will the scheme be modified." . Canadian Border. The number of smuggled aliens from Canada to '.his country is very great. It has resulted in the-over-flowing of JaJls in northern states. The northern New England boundary is guarded by two divisions of the Immigration patrol, which was created by act of Congress and started work last July. Slightly more than 100 men are entrusted with the task o patrolling the boundary between the United States and Canada. There is a gap from the forests north of Van Buren to Jackman, Me., where the patrol Joins another division covering the tip of New Hampshire and Vermont. From June 20 to Nov. 20 the second division patrol, covering northern New Hampshire and Vermont, stopped 7,200 automobiles and inspected 21.600 passengers. The territory covered by this patrol includes 45 main highways and also 150 highways of all sorts which must be watched. Illegal Immigrants. A speech made recently by Secretary of Labor Davis in Buenos Ayres to the effect that 135,000 aliens are entering the United States illegally each year was substantially confirmed by the commissioner general of immigration, W. W. Husband, a native of Vermont. Mr. Husband believed, however, the figures were slightly under Mr. Davis's estimate. This is one reason, and perhaps the outstanding one. why Rome wants the control, direct and indirect, of Immigration on this continent.

under the name of Dan S. Ring and printed in the Washington Star of December 28. '"An era of progress is foreseen in the offing for the American Federation of Labor by close observers of the tides and currents of the organized labor movement, but there are also signs of squalls gathering on the horizon which will have to be met and conquered before the annual convention of the federation next fall, if William Green, the new president, is to retain his position. "Green brings to the presidency of the American Federation of Labor not only virility and experience on a broad scale, but also comparatively young blood. Although 51 years old, he is quick moving and aggressive. yet not without the deliberate method of figuring out puzzles and problems which was a characteristic of Samuel Gompers.

He regards the tenure of office in an organization as an ostensible agency and the officer as a mouthpiece for followers in everything that is lawful, just and proper. At the same time, however, it is pointed out, he recognizes that an officer must assume the status of a leader, that he must be a trail-blazer as well as a servant to the desires of the organization which he represents. Leaving the settlement of this problem for the future to decide, it must, nevertheless, not be overlooked as one of the problems. "Another rather ticklish question is one which embraces a triangular relationship of the American Federation of Labor, the United Mine Workers of America, of which Mr. Green is secretary, and the railroad brotherhoods. The brotherhoods control coal mines near Charleston, W. Va. "The miners working in them are

WILLIAM GREEN, New President of A. F. of L.

ate one of the two terms he spent in that legislative body. He there acquired a broader view than had he been observing events only from the position of a labor leader during his period of activities. "Well litted lor the tasks before him, therefore, Green steps into office to lind a number of problems already popping up their heads. Among his chief items of considerafion will be the threatened coalition of rebels in the ranks of the American Federation of Labor whom Compers called the 'borers from within' and the potential threat of an attempt of this group to sweep to power in the next convention. Gompersi steady hand will not be there to hold such movements in cheek. This will by the task of Green. An Anti-Communist "The latter is an avowed antiCommunist. A lirrn heliever in the doctrines of Americanism, his very first .statement, issued on attaining his office, demonstrated his attitude on this question. 'Our devotion to America and American institutions must never be successfully challenged,' he f-:aid. " 'Organization and education' will be watchwords under the regime of Oreen. Four cardinal principles, as he has announced thenrmre: Promotion of collective .bargaining; observance of vage agreements; the continuance of the movement for the acceptance of organized labor by all classes as a logical, necessary moral force in the economic, industrial and social life of the nation, and continual reiteration of thp duties and obligations of organized labor members as American citizens. American Fair I'lay " Our problems must be'met and solved on the basis of American fair play and in accordance with American traditions and American ideals,' Mr. Green .declared shortly after his election. This has a dual significance, displaying as it docs that he recognizes that problems are confronting him, but that he is not losing sight of the need for conservative treatment. "The fact that Green is personally a proponent of prohibition and a total abstainer has given rise to widespread speculation as to the future stand ot the American Federation of Labor on the question of light wtnes and beers, which waa bo decidedly favored by hte OomDer administration. .. , t

on strike for better wages and better working conditions. The employers of the miners, strangely enough, are employes of the railroads. And organized labor in one group is striking against organized labor in another group. The Federation of Labor stepped into this picture at its last convention in El Paso. "A resolution was adopted on the floor which authorized the executive council of the A. F. of L. to take action as it might deem fit to bring about a peaceable solution of the dispute. The executive council, under this authority, authorized and directed the president of the A. F. of L., then Mr. Gompers, to meet Warren S. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Lngineers, and the president of the corporation controlling the mines for the brotherhoods, and talk the matter over. The instructions to Mr. Gompers were to ask Stone to recant on some of the stands taken hy him. Before Mr. Gompers could do bo death had overtaken him. Ticklish Position "This leaves William Green, president of the federation but also an

official of the Miners' International Union, in a rather difficult position should the plan originally decided upon by -the executive council not be modified. Modification is looked for at the quarterly session of the executive council in Miami late in February, and in all probability some other measure will be substituted, such as sending a committee of the executive council members to interview Mr. Stone. "For years it has been said in labor circles that when another man than Gompers was in the chair of the American Federation of Labor the railroad brotherhoods, with their powerful influence, could probably be counted on to become affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Now a miner, a member of a group openly opposing the brotherhoods, is in the chair. And another problem presents itself. Can Green, through diplomatic statesmanship, smooth over the trouble between miners and brotherhoods to such an extent that the latter will affiliate with the American Federation of Labor? Lewis and Green Friends "During the last years of Gompers' administration, only one serious threat at taking-the power from his hands was made. Tbio was a few years Bga-Uvhen John L. Lewis.

rrom the hands of the executive council, which was a Gompers group through and through, has the added advantage of his close association with Lewis, a power among the progressives on the floor of the convention. This coalition of Gompers' conservatives and Lewis' progressives is looked forward, to as being, of inestimable value to the new administration. "But there is one fly in the ointment. . James Duncan, veteran q four decades in the labor movement, old wheel horse of the Gompers administration, resigned from the executive council whsn Green was elected. Whether dissatisfaction will accompany this action is problematical. Duncan was spoken of for the presidency more than once. Ten years ago, experts say, there would have been no question as to his choice to succeed Gompers. What Is Duncan's Power? "If Duncan on the floor of the convention can draw sufficient of the conservative followers into an alliance with disaffected groups, there may be some serious knots to untangle. It Is another problem for the future possibly the least weighty when lined up with others mentioned. "Thus the new position of the Federation of Labor looms up. A constructive progressive is at the wheel. He has one of the largest unions of the federation the miners, controlling 4,000 of a total of 30,000 votes in the American Federation of Labor whole-heartedly behind him. He has -he executive council behind him, for the executive council picked him. He has ideas to broach and problems to meet. And, best of all, he has the heritage left him by Gompers, national respect for the labor movement, and an open, unbiased rmhlie

field to fight future battles on. Further expansion awaits the American Federation of Labor if there are no missteps." Biographical Sketch William Green was born at Coshocton, O., March 3, 1873, the son of Hugh Green, an English miner, and Jane (Oram) Green, a native of Wales. His family home is at 1602 Chestnut street, Coshocton. He is married and the father of six children, five daughters and one son. He is a member of the Baptist church, Elks and Odd Fellow's lodges. Green was a delegate-at-large from Ohio to the 1924 Democratic national convention in New York, and was a delegate-at-large to the Baltimore convention in 1912 which nominated Woodrow Wilson, and an alternate-at-large to the San Francisco Democratic national convention in 1920. Green served two terms in the Ohio state senate, of which he was Democratic floor leader one term and president one term. He introduced and obtained the enactment of the Ohio workmen's compensation law, which has been accepted by organized as the model for other states to adopt. He also introduced and obtained the passage of the Ohio mine run law, an act which has proved of great benefit to the mine workers of Ohio aiid all those employed in the central I competitive field, (the central competitive field consisting of Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois.) Went to Work at 17 He gained his education in the public schools of Coshocton, and when 18 years old went to work In the mines with his father, who s still alive and healthy at the age of 91.

Almost immediately he took an active part in the miners' union. From 1900 to 1906 he was a sub-district president and from 1906 to 1910 was Ohio district president of the United Mine Workers. In 1912 he was elected international secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers, the office formerly held by William B. Wilson, who became the first secretary of labor and member of President Wilson's cabinet. ' A year later he was elected vicepresident and member of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, succeeding John Mitchell in that office.

ALIENS SMUGGLED INTO U. S. CAUGHT NEAR MIAMI, FLA.

Mad raid Large Sums of

Eighteen alleged aliens were in the custody of the United States immigration officials after going without food for several days, following payment of large sums to smugglers, Immigration officers report. Three of the eighteen were turned over to the government by a Dade county citizen, who refused to give his name. Three were found in a Miami restaurant eagerly awaiting their orders for meals, and the other twelve were arrested at Hialeah, seven miles west of Miami, on information given by Miami Boy Scouts. The party was landed from small boats on the shore of Biscayne Ray near Cutler, ten miles south of this

With Secretary of Labor

Davis telling the American

club in Buenos Aires that

135,000 aliens were "boot

legged" into the United States

day and one pessimist assert

ing that for every immigrant

lawiuny admitted, one is smuggled in, members of

Congress and the immigration service alike are pinning all their hopes on the recently organized border patrol as the last line of defense against the alien invasion. Given Severe Shock. Official Washington, all except the immigration service, was shocked to learn from the recently issued annual reports of Secretary Davis and Commissioner General W. W. Husband that the "bootlegging" of aliens into the United States had assumed the proportions of an international business more dangerous and also more profitable than either liquor or narcotic smuggling, and that it was increasing with every restriction on immigration enacted by Congress. Aliens- "bootlegged" into the United States and rounded up by immigration patrols are filling the border jails in such numbers that local authorities have notified the Labor Department to "ease up", or they will be compelled to decline to accept any further prisoners, so crowded are the

jails, it was stated by Assistant Sec-"1

retary-ef Lsbpr Robert CarJ White. Two Protests Received. Protests have been received from two districts, number one, along the northern borders df the New England States,' and number eighteen, from

Sault Ste. Marie west to the Montana

border, stating that the jails were full, and that no more prisoners

could be accepted and that they might even have to set some free unless conditions were eased somewhat. Those districts, Mr. White said, were not exceptions, but substantially similar reports had been received from all points where the comparative ease of entry made it necessary to round up smuggled aliens in numbers. These facts, he added, were cited to show that conceding the fact that any number of aliens are clamoring for admission and are willing to effect that entry in many cases, in any way they can, the department through its border patrols is doing "marvelous -work" in the results accomplished. Checking Is Difficult. The process of checking the inflow through such channels is complicated by the fact that under the law warrants for arrest and deportation are necessary in these cases, and pending the legal processes of deportation, the seized aliens must be kept in confinement. The smuggling, the department has learned by its investigations, is an organized enterprise with ramifications extending all over the United

States and Europe. Either in European countries or in Canada, it is , stated, agencies of this organization'!

approacn a prospective immigrant and offer to put him in the Uaited States for a specific consideratton. The business, testimony of aliens has revealed, is extremely lucrative, and depends somewhat on the destination

tor the rate charged. Florida Coast Popular. j

Tne Florida coast is said to be one of the worst places the department has to contend with, owing to the numerous little creeks and rivers and bays through which incoming boats can slip, largely with aliens brought from Cuba. This . particular route is extremely well organized, and it Is

said that a boat rarely lands without advance arrangements having been made.

These arrangements, as In bootleg liquor smuggling, frequently include fast automobiles, waiting at the rendevouz in the United States, to convey the aliens inland from the point of landing as rapidly as possible. In fact, the latter are more frequently seized after they have thus been transferred inland, than at the border itself. Smuggling Fees Vary. The fees for smuggling an alien range upward to Si. 000 a head, the

latter being paid largely by Chinese coming in from Cuba. The usual price paid for the Cuban passage, how

ever, is about $250, though aliens

have testified to officials that in quantity "lots" they have gotten In for as low as $25 to S50 a head, while

the average price when in quantity is between $100 and S150 a head. Across

the land borders the price is as low

as !5 and runs as high as $100. with

Liie seaports ngunng in tne groups which pay $500 to $1,000' for the privi

me latter is not always easy on

the bootlegged alien, however. The department has many cases where

tnese have been "dumped" on a hum-

mocK ot t lorida coast swamp and left to their fate, usually to be found by the first police or patrol or perhaps

10 starve untu tney are tound. Assistant Secretary of Labor Henning, who has just returned from an inspection trip along the southern border, said that 50 per cent of the aliens who are being smuggled in are Europeans who have previously tried and failed to enter the United States either because of the quota limits or inability to pass inspection.
