THE IMMIGRATION BILL.
N. Y. Knights of Labor Trying to De.
feat Tax and Illiteracy Clauses.

The knights of Labor of New York are
striving to defeat the Senate bill which
would tax immigrants and debar them
because of tlliteracy.
William Martin, general organizer of
the order, is in Washington. and yester-
day he conferred with a number of sena-
tors and representatives. He declares re-
strictions are injurious to this country's
development un-American and unjust.
1t was intimated last night that the
bill, even If passed by the House, may be
permitted to die in conference. 1t is un-
derstood that President Gompers of the
American Federation OF Labor has i'm
pressed the House leaders with the fact
that organized labor is not particularly
anxious about the educational test pro-
vided in the bill.
The bill probably win come before the
House for action Tuesday next, and it Is
understood that republicans will be at
liberty to vote against 1t IL they see ft
without mourning the dtspleasure of the
House managers.

PURE FOOD BILL.
Mr.. Mann Gives q Demonstration Of
Some Authorizations.

Some Authorizations
The space In front OF the Speakers desk
OF the House resembitd small section OF
a delfcatessen store and a corner grocery.
with cereals. jams, Jellies, tins OF peas, to-
matoes. corn, bottles Of whisky and wine.
imported sausage. branded cherries and
other edibies and turntables scattered over
two tables. and to complete the picture there
were standard scales with weights q
graduate and a funnel for the purpose of
demonstrating the contention of the major
~ of the committee on interstate and for
efgn commerce that pure food bill Is
necessary for the protection OF the people.
interest In the debate showed itself in the
presence of many visitors In the galleries
and a large membership on the floor. infor-
ma ton having gone out that Mr. Mann of
Illinois would play the role of the grocery
man and explain to the House the several
articles on the tables, their Ingredients and
their weights.
Mr. Mann contrasted the features of the
Senate and House bills, remarking that it
was not the aim of the House committee
on interstate and foreign commerce TO
recommend legislation as to what the peo-
pie should eat or drink but to call atten-
ton to what they are eating or drinking.
Medicines now on the market advertised
In the strongest terms to cure the opium
habit" said Mr.. Mann show on inyestiga-
ton enough opium to develop the opium
habit"
Most Foods are not adulterated, according
to Mr.. Mann, and since the pure food agi-
tatfon which began a number of years ago
there has been a decided reduction In adul-
terations. Yet" said Mr.. Mann, every
where the honest manufacturer or dealer
goes he is met by sharp and keen coripe-
tition from authorizations or short weights"
Black pepper. he said, is fruitful source
of adulteration, the filler being sold In
five-ton weights according to letter which
Mr. Mann read Pepper berries. he said,
were made out of tapioco coiored with
lamp black
liquid In 1t, Mr.. Mann said 1t was honey,
yet 1t never saw a hive, much less a
comb. 1t is fresh from the glucose factory
Freezine. he said, a powder sold to
preserve meat. 1t might keep meats from
spelling, but it was most injurious to
health, being composed of sulphite of soda
and red coal tar dye.
A fine grade of olive oil used by the Union
League Club of Philadelphia turned out to
be cottonseed Oil with an adulterant
Passing to the cereal foods, he called at
tention to the difference between the car
tons and while he did not care what the
people bought, he insisted that the amount
OF the food should be put upon the pack
age.
One of the hoped-for good results of
national law on the subject of pure food, he
said Is the bringing about of a uniformity
of laws and regulations on the part of the
states
