By Scienc'’ terrier WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—" Butcher, baker or candlestick maker?” maybe the question hereafter put to foreigners seeking to emigrate to the United States. In his annual report just made to the secretary of labor, Harry Hull, United States commissioner of immigration, recommends that we forget nationalities in selecting immigrants, and allow entries on a more scientific basis. "Power to reject at the source aliens not needed in our industrial life would result in a very large reduction in the number of aliens entering the country, and at the same time all those coming would be better qualified to make good American citizens,” Hull said. He describes such a selection of immigrants as a "protective tariff for our industrial workers.”
