'3 ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES
J ON IMMIGRATION
At a meeting in Salt Lake, the din e
tors of the Utah Associated Industries
adopted the following preamble to a
set of resolutions :
"Whereas, recent immigration sta-,.-'f
tistics show that the present fiscal
M year will break all records in the num
ber of alien admitted into the United
H Slates, and Indications point to cen
a greater number in the immediate fu
. "Whereas, the present immigration ,
)aws of the United States do not pro-j
' J this country against the flood Of
undesirable aliens as a result of which
real numbers of the radical and I
fi criminal classes are now being admit- ;
'M ec lo ln'9 counlr' anu are addinc tQ.
our serious social and industrial prob-j
Icms Therefore, be it resolved."
Then the directors of the I'tah As
sociated Industries resolved:
"1. That we favor immediate legis- j
J3I latlon by congress de? tgned to correct j
present defects in our Immigration 1
"2. That we favor the abolition of
3 lhe literacy test as a primary require
'f'ySm ment for entrance into this country.
"3. That we recommend a policy of
selective immigration which will ex
dude the criminal and radical elemem.
but will admit those- who are physical
iyf mentall ;nd morally tit nnd whose
jj positive attitude toward constituted
iB authority is known
"4. That this policy of selective
immigration should inetude actual In
spectlon and examination of record of
each alien applicant in his own conn

in favor of an almost unobstructed in
