The House last week passed bill
placing additional restriction upon i'm
migration. but the Senate committee
thinks the Lodge bill better measure
and it has been reported to the Senate
as a substitute for the House bill.
They both shut out illiterate immi-

The date of adjournment is thought
to depend largely upon the River and

Congress will not adjourn until after il
has passed it over the veto.
