MEXICANS COMING
TO UNITED STATES
TO S J FORTUNES
EL PASO, Tex., April 20 — Loaded down with pots,
pans and parrots, Mexican families again are trudging
across the rickety old international bridge from Mexico
to seek their small fortunes in the beet fields and on the
farms of the Americans.
The Mexican family is the most mobile unit in the
world. United States immigration service officials here
say. Given an hour’s notice they can pack their few be
longings and be ready to take the train to a distant point
without apparent hurry. Small children are bundled up
in the mother’s robosa, or black alpaca shawl, the house
hold belongings are quickly packed and the family ward
robe stored in a small tin trunk, whereupon the high
hatted head of the house announces to the employment
agent he and his are ready to migrate.
Just now the rush of laborers is toward the sugar
beet fields of Idaho and Utah. Later in the spring, when
the weather in northern California and the mountains
of Colorado has modified, the Mexican laborers will be
diverted to those fields, immigration officials say. These
Mexican families have been passing through El Paso port
at the rate of 50 males each day. This usually means 150
persons as the families always include at least one child.
The Mexicans are admitted under a suspension of the
contract labor law, the head tax law and the literacy law
for agricultural work only. These laws have tended to
restrict immigration at this point from Mexico and many
Mexican families are now coming to the border to take
advantage of the suspension of these laws as a war emer
gency measure.
%/
The American employers of the Mexican workmen
are required to return them to the point of entrance into
the United States, to meet certain requirements as to
living conditions while the llaborers are employed in the
United States and to make reports as to their work and
living conditions. Six months is the limit the Mexican lab
orers may remain in the United States under the emerg
ency act but this may be renewed by the immigration
officials.

UNITED STATES AND CHILE TO
HAVE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP AFTER
THE PRESENT CONFLICT IS OVER
SANTIAGO DE CHILE, April 20 — Deputy Don
Cornelio Saavedra, who has just returned from a seven
months trip in the United States, has predicted in an in
terview that the United States is planning to make its j
relations with Chile closer after the war.
“The situation between Chile and the United States
of the first rank, such as Mr. McAdoo, are trying to bring i
the two countries closer together and it is certain that as j
•oon as the war is over a large amount of capital will
;ome into Chile from the United States to promote indus
try and commerce.”
Mr. Saavedra is trying to persuade the government
or business interests to establish a Chilean commercialj
agency in New York.

Remember that if you cannot purchase a Liberty
loan bond, there are yet remaining many war stamps and j
thrift stamps. The Liberty loan bond campaign lasts
two weeks longer, but the war stamps and thrift campaign'
last the remainder of this year. i
