BEATS EDUCATIONAL TEST

Washington. February 22.-(Special)-
Leaders of organized labor figure they
have not Jared so badly as they might
have in regard to the immigration bill
that has just passed Congress. They con-
slider that in that provision of the bill in
creasng the area space for each immi-
grant from 100 cubic feet to $50 cubic feet
they have secured a provision quite as
important as the education test would
have been.
In fact as they calculate the provision
for increased area space will curtail the
tide of immigration more heavily than
the educational test would have done.
According to the way the American Fed
Grafton of Labor looks at II the educa-
tional test would cut off about % per
cent OF the immigration. The increase in
the amount of area space required for
each immigrant will cut of 80 1-3 per cent.
More than this the Increase in the head
tax from 50 to 81 will enlarge the Income
ia the government greatly and will en-
able the bureau of immigration to carry
out it's work more efficiently.
The provision in the bill for the APP
pointment of commission to investigate
immigration problems is also looked on
as imporfant II is calculated the in
creased head tax will bring to the govern
ment about s. 100000 more revenue annu-
ally. This will provide q largely in
creased sum available for the use Of the
bureau of immigration in carrying out the
law.

ROOT DIMES WITH BRYCE.
Absence Will Delay FormaI
Presentation.

Washington, February 22.-Secretary
Root today dined with Mr.. Bryce, the
newly arrived British ambassador.
Owing to the approaching absence of
President Roosevelt from Washington
it will not be possible to arrange for
the presentation Of Mr.. Bryce at the
White House before the early part of
next week. but in the meantime there
will doubtless be some informal ex
changes between the new ambassador
and Secretary Root relative to matters
of importance automatically that are
planned for discussion in the near
future.
