(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
Plans for increasing the restrictions against aliens were formulated by Secretary of Labor Davis yesterday.
Secretary Davis stated he is taking preliminary steps to boycott aliens who are in this country illegally from getting work in the United States and keep them out of thearmy.
This plan was originated by Henry Ford who insists on every employee being able to show that he is legally entitled to residence in the U. S.
The Secretary said that there was no intention at present to establish a system of alien registration but it undoubtedly will be presented by some member of Congress, and the exasperation at the recent bombings may engender a sentiment for even that drastic course, he said.
Secretary Davis says his plans are not the result of the Sacco-Vanzetti disorders, but these are very likely to cause a rebirth of the hysteria of some years ago, and Congress is expected to be generous with appropriations for deportation even if it is not persuaded to enact alien registration measures.
