Protest Against Educational Test PrOvid-
ed ID immigration Bin.

Washington, Dec. IL. = The senate
committee on immigration yesterday
continued its hearing on the immigra-
tion bill, the first witness being Will
liam Hayward, representing the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters association and
the chamber of commerce OF Honolulu.
Mr.. Hayward's objections were directed
solely to the educational test require
ments OF the bill. This test, he said,
would keep out Of Hawaii the only
| labor it can obtain, and in time would
produce financial ruin. The Hawaiian
planters have tried for years, he said
at great expense to get white labor e
| work in the fields, but without succs IS
japan is now the only country iron
which labor can be obtained. and th'
educational test would keep out all tn
Japanese.
Colonel Joseph Smolinski, represent
ing the Polish-American Alliance, ais
smoke against the educational test. d.
said there are almost 5,000.0GO Slav
in the United States, and declared tina
many Poles who would make excellen
citizens would be kept out by educs
tional tests, and their aspirations 70
iieedom be stified.
A. P. Anderson, representing th
American Line steamship company
took exception to the amendments r
Gently made to the bill imposing fin'
on transportation companies for brini
ing in diseased aliens.
