Immigration reform urged to ease labor shortage
Washington reports Grant Kingsbury of the Connecticut Manufacturers Association told the House Immigration Committee that a rigid policy limits industry.

The association backs a two year study led program.

Washington wrapup on postwar policy moves
Plans to pass the Bursom Pengion bill were discussed as President Harding veto efforts faded. Crissinger, current comptroller of the currency, was seen as likely to be named governor of the Federal Reserve board. Supreme Court arguments focused on allowing American ships to sell liquor outside the three mile limit. The British Debt Commission asked Harding and Mellon about funding talks with the U.S. The next reparations step was said to depend on France or another Allied power. The Justice Department said open shop agreements violate the Clayton act. The Senate committee sought admin views on the Robinson resolution for American representation on the Reparations Commission, while Mellon urged Congress to pass a constitutional amendment enabling tax exempt securities.
