AN EDUCATIONAL TEST.
Mr.. Anderson Resumes His Argument
Before immigration Committee.

w. P. Anderson, passenger manager of
the American steamship line, yesterday
continued his argument before the Senate
committee on immigration for modification
Of the immigration bill pending in the Sen
ate. His criticism was devoted in the main
to the third section of the bill providing an
educational test for immigrants.
Mr.. Anderson said that he had made a
careful study Of the educational test pro-
vision and had satisfied himself that its
enactment into law would have a baneful
effect. The result would be to keep out of
the country from 10000 to 100000 working
men, and this, he believed, would be an I'M
necessary hardship In view Of the great
demand for labor in the United States. In
deed, he declared the requirement to be
monstrous, and said 1t would only be JUS
tifiable in case there was in the country all
the labor needed. which was not the case.
He referred to the prosperous condition of
the country at the present time and said
that In order to command q worldwide
market manufacturers and other producers
should not be hampered in the matter of
labor.

A BUREAU OF CORPORATIONS
Proposed Method Of Obtaining In
formation Of Large Concerns.

Representative Sulzer of New York has
introduced a bill in the House, the purpose
of which is to give publicity to the affairs
of large corporations by requiring them to
make annual returns to government au-
thorities. 1t provides for the creation of
bureau in the interstate commerce commits
sion which shall be known as the bureau Of
corporations, with a chief at its head who
shall be appointed by the President. It is
made the province and duty of this bureau,
under the direction of the interstate COM
mission, to inspect all corporations engaged
In interstate and foreign commerce and to
supply information concerning tnem, includ-
ing the manner in which their business is
conducted.
Further, 1t is provided that all corpora
tons contemplated by this bill shall make
annual reports to the bureau, setting forth,
among other things, the financial condition,
names and addresses of stockholders and
officers; also a statement showing that the
corporation in question has not been IA
vored by any transportation company dur
ing the year, or, if so, information in de-
tail must be given as to the favors received
Corporations also must make statements
showing that they have not been a party
to any combination in restraint Of trade or
commerce among the several states and
territories.
A penalty of from to 10 per cent Of the
last annual gross earnings is provided for
failure or refusal of any corporation to
make returns as required by this bill, and
further penalty is prescribed for false re-
turns
