n Great Flood of T Undesirables on ' Way to America Hordes of Russians Leaving Country at Rate of x 100 a ( Day Many Have Strong ' 'Radical Tendencies. "tiy LARRY RUE. " -v hleo Tribune f ahl. Copyright, 1921. Bucharest, Fclv6. The riffraff of Kussia. is crossing the Dniester into Bessarabia, thence coming-here and finally leaving Roumania, at the rate of ,100 daily, for America. The majority come from the southern part of . the Ukraine and the vicinity of Odessa;- where the people have had no schools for cen ' lurics and hence are not only illi teratc but comprise the most back yard people of a backward coun try. They have ben subject to bolshevist influences and many of them already show radical tenden cies It is the opinion of practi cally every American-born citizen here that their entrance into the United States constitutes a poten tial menace of our system of gov ernment,' No Credentials Necesary, to Roumania the obtaining of a Rou manian passport by anyone from the Be.isarabian region is simple, no credentials of any kind being called for. I have met several persons who admitted they were Ukrainians but who were traveling on Rouman ian passports, ror this reason a United States law prohibiting ;' .sian immigration would be ineffec ,' , tive. The same "conditions prevail ; along the entire western frontier of Russia,- from Poland to Constants noplu. t S , Locally emigration to the United States slackened after the State de i partment announced that holders of Roumania passports must, haveirth " certificates, but now certificates answering any purpose are prepared to suit the needs of the applicant 1 and can be obtained for a nominal sura. ' " ' , . ' - U. S. Officials Helpless. American Stale department offi , cials are helpless although they real '. ' it that most credentials presented "" are faked. These people have their , own organization working Ijere and in America, and several times' when ; passports have been, refused locally, orders have - been received from Washington authorizing a visa- This same condition was true in the 'Crimea and is true in Constantinople today. However, it is not the fault , oi the, State departmen, but is due t to pressure from congressmen who ' are influenced to act by local im- migration committees. At the present time there is a ' group of fJ.OOO Russians here who , pre' attempting to get -to America. These people are not of the highly educated type that evacuated the - Crimea with General Wrangel. They have come-from Bessarabia, not to escape persecution, but merely ' to ' ko to the United States. They have . hired a consul here and are employ ' in g attorneys in New York and Washington -to "bring pressure to tea ,on congressmen, State de pnrtment officials and immigration officials to authorize pasports.""

Public Rights Be Aired By Legislature Epperson Will " Demand a Chance to Explain Public Views on Labor Disputes And Profiteering. 'Lincoln, Feb, .(Special.) Be fore the session ends the rijihts of the public in industrial disputes and in suffering at the hands oft profiteers will be aired thoroughly by Repre sentative Charles Epperson of Clay, author of an industrial commission bill which would throw convicted profiteers in state prison, and would force strikers to work at necessary industries. The bill may never get out of com mitte, with Governor McKelvie de clining, to endorse the "Kansas in dustrial court bill and declaring in substance! that after the people have suffered sufficiently and realize their condition, the old order of things will be true and public opinion will be a court which will enforce an agreement between capital and labor. ' y Will Demand Hearing, i But Epperson is gomg to be heard, on that bill. He's going to see that some ideas he has on the rights of the public, which, he declares, rep resents at least 95 per cent of the persons affected by a row between capital and labor, wil be heard in public whether it is a public hearing, in Committee or an address on the floor of the lower house. "The no strike clause," Epperson saiY. "is copied almost word for word after the Kansas law, Tile teeth I have provided the pubjic for the profiteers are some of my own dental work." ' v Is Ideally Located. Epperson, is ideally located geo graphically and politically to go the limit in a fight for such a bill. Ho Comes from the short-grass country where capital and organized labor have no influence and votes or influ ence of these bodies won't affect him one iota politically. , f "Yet, we suffer by these constant wranglings just as much as the' city people and we want some means to stop tbcm the same as the city peo ple." Epperson declared today. In, introducing this bill Epperson is taking advantage of the new con stitution which empowers the estab lishment of an industrial commission with arbitrary powers to settle dis putes in accordance with views of the legislature. . , Tecumseh Water System to Be Extended and Improved Tecumseh, Neb., Feb. 6.

Chicago Board of Trade Planning $6,000,000 Home lew Structure to Replace His toric Landmark Work Will Start During Administra- , tion of President Griffin Chicago, Feb. 6. Plans are being completed by a special committee -of the Chicago Board" of Trade for construction of a - new $6,000.!K)'I home to replace the present quaint old structure which is one of the city s most interesting land-marks, Cost I of building materials, accord ing to President Joseph P. Griffin, has delayed the project for the last few years. : A cheer went up from a crowd one winter day back in 1882 when the cornerstone of the nine-story granite structure that has since been the-hub of the world grain trade, was swung into place. The streets were festooned with vari-coloreri paper streamers and the blare of brass bands resounded through the downtown district. Into the thick copper-plate corner stone box was placed many docu ments which told a cryp.tic story of Chicago's growth as a grain, mar ket. These musty records include the bill of lading of the first grain shipment east. It took place oiif Indian summer day back iu IS' when the little brig Osceola poked her nose "t of the early morning haze of Lake Michigan and later turned homeward with 1,678 bushels of wheat. . ' Nine years later, in 1848, when Chicago received its first-telegraph message, the Chicago Board of Trade was .organized by a handful of merchants.""With the passing of years the flow of grain to Chicago rapidly increased and greater mark et facilities became necessary. In 1881 a buildine site was purchased for ?40,U00 atul work subsequently Degun on the picturesque structure, with its high windows and imposing clock tower, which nestles today amid a group of modern skyscrap ers. Just when work of dismantling the old building Will begin is a question. That it will be under the adminis tration of President Griffin is con sidered' certain by grain men. , The new building will have a floor space at least as large as the present floor Which is 144 bv 160 feet and upon which . 400,000,-tK)0 bushels of cash grain, grain on the tracks and in ele vators ready for immediate delivery, is sold annually.

"That artirt. tn tliA nrAcc 4rAiir said Senator Walsh of Massachu setts, "contains ' the first informa tion that has been in any way given to the American public that an actual proposal w-aS made by a debt or government to cancel our foreign obligations. It seems to me that the American people have a right to know whether or not such a pro posal, was made and if so," why wc were not informed of it, especially in, view of the course pursued so much of late of spreading propa ganda in favoy of a policy in this country which some foreign country Inay desire to promote." , Senator Hiram Johnson declared the incident was characteristic 'of the" manner in which the American people have bad to get information regarding their foreign affairs from abroad. , Warns Republicans.

The western farmers, , who. have been paying $9 a day" and found, to Jiired hands during. the last two or three, years, are against the bill, ac cording to several witnesses. Dis appointed advocates of the Johnson measure are of the opinion that tho railroads, the steel companies, cosl operators and cotton mill owners are aligned in opposition because of the .desire for cheap labor and be; cause the suspension bill was strong ly backed by the American federa tion of Labor.

The brief asserts "that these bi'Is go beyond government regulation and substitute , government opera tion."

Referring to the coal bill, the brief points out that the president under "certain supposed contin gencies" is empowered, to fix prices and, commissions' and to deal in coal, control the production, move ment and distribution of coal.
