TO CHECK IMMIGRATION. Commission Urges Ute Restriction of Importation of Unskilled Labor. Washington, Dec. 9.-Sentimental consideration in restricting immi gration should be waived In lieu of tho economic problems arising from adverse effects on wages and living conditions which the large number of aliens have had In recent years by their entry Into basic Industries, ac cording to the final report of tho Immigration commission transmitted to Congress to-day. The commission unanimously urges the restriction of unskilled labor immigration. The commission, created under the immigration act of 1907, expired to day and tho results of Its three-year investigation into practically all phases of the immigration question make about forty printed volumes. "Tho present immigration move-j ment," says the report, "is in largo measure due to economic causes, but emigration I" .om Ku rope ls not an absolute economic necessity, and as a rule those who Immigrate to tho United States are Impelled by a de sire for better conditions rather than j by tim necessity of escaping from in tolerable ones. This fact should largely modify the natural incentive to treat the Immigration movement f om the standpoint of sentiment and permit its consideration primarily asl an economic probkm." The commission pi cseu ts for the consideration of Congress several proposals by which rest ric'ion of im migration might be effected, includ ing a rcadng and writing (est, the exclusion ol' unmarried, unskilled laborers, limitations in thc number ai riving at any one pori, and from particular races, as well as in the amounts of money rou ul red to be in their possession on arrival. The Immigrants now coming, it is agreed, do not furnish any more criminals or subjects for charity than the native born, but the tendency to ward industrial and city life remains unchanged in spite of the fact that statistics show the Immigrants to have been more successful in agri cultural pursuits. In connection with these findings, th<> report urges that the division id' information in the bureau of immigration be so con ducted as to co-operate with the States and various societies in a more beneficial distribution of immigrants among agricultural sections where they aro especially needed. Efforts to exclude all British Kast Indians through an agreement with Great Britain, the continuance of the p osent Chinese exclusion laws as well as present regulations with re gard to Japanese and Korean immi gration, the passage of the House bill for the deportation of alien criminals with changes In the immigration law to make it applicable to alen seamen and the appointment of an additional assistant secretary of commerce and labor to determine Immigration ap peals, are specifically recommended.
