Divergent Views of the Senate Committee
Makes Progress Very Slow.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Chand-
Ter, chairman of the senate committee
on immigration, said that little progress
had been made in dealing with the ques-
ton of immigration by the committee.
The failure to arrive at an immediate
conclusion on the subject is said to be
due to the diverging opinions of the
nine members of the committee. Nearly
every member has different views of
what kind of legislation is needed. Some
favor, for a time at least, the stopping
of all immigration, while others think
the restriction of immigration to half or
one-fourth of its present proportions,
would be sufficient for the present. A
conference is being held by members of
the committee for the purpose of trying
to unite upon single scheme.
