tFrom the NEWS Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16:-Sena-
tors Kean and Dryden, and some of
the congressman have received copies
of resolutions adopted by the COM
mon council of Newark protesting
against the proposed amendment to
the river and harbor bill to permit of
the closing of the drawbridges of the
Passaic and Hackensack rivers at
certain times of the day.
Senator Dryden has received a pc
ton from the City Improvement So
ciety, of New Brunswick, favoring
the bill to restrict the employment
child labor in factories; from the
Woman's Club, of Glen Ridge,
against Senator Smoot; and from
Clarksboro and Bloomfield in favor
Of the Littlefield bill to promote
temperance.
Senator Kean has concurred with
Senator Dryden and Representative
Allen in recommending the appoint
nent of William H. Mckay as post
master at Rutherford.
Greater Portion Unchanged.
1t is worthy of note that the great
n portion of the immigration bill as
,dopted by the conferees of the SEN
te and house is almost identical
With the original bill introduced by
Representative Howell as amended
~ the committee after several
months of hard work. Its admins
rative features were far ahead of
hose of the senate and that was the
'eason it was adopted. The senate
has had some discussion over the
,ill, and it may be several days be-
ore it is acted on by that body. The
teamship companies do not like the
ection of the bill which provides
hat the immigrant shall have moro
ir space. This, if it is enacted, vii
become effective January i, 1909. ]
ill lessen the number of immigrant
hat can be carried by the steamshi
'ompanies, and they are therefor
opposed to it. If the house is nc
,uick in disposing of the bill it
likely that the steamship lobby wi
ralxe an effort to defeat this provi
sion.
