and sane committee on the Fourth of
July in the office of Commissioner Ru-
dolph, chairman, Thursday morning, at
II O'Clock. The realization of the prof.
ect depends on the generosity OF the
citizens of Washington. 1t Is estimated
that the pageant alone will cost 5000,
while an additional 5000 will he need
cd to provide for fireworks, athletic
meets, and other features.
The purpose of the committee is to
excel this year all previous efforts in

MaCfarland was appointed chairman.

SIMMONS WOULD
RESTRICT INFLUX
OF FOREIGNERS
Urges Amendent to Immigra-
ton Bill in Stirring
Speech.

Senator Simmons of North Carolina
this afternoon spoke out strongly in the
Senate in favor of his amendment to the
immigration bill providing for an educa-
tlonal test
He declared the reading and writing
test was the most feasible one for the
exclusion OF undesirable immigrants,
and that public sentiment of the coun-
try was overwhelmingly in favor of 1t.
The only opposition was the selfish
interests that wanted an influx of for
eigners, tho steamship companies and
the railroad companies, and certain III
dustrial interests which seek to obtain
cheaper labor than the American stand
ard of living will allow.
In the course of the speech Senator
Simmons declared unrC stricted immigra-
ton stimulated by selfish interests was
largely at the root of the Lawrence
trouble. He said:
For whom are these steamship COM
panies importing these laborers, so per
cent of them unskilled? | have here a
statement that shows that last year
nearly 100000 of those who came here
were unskilled laborers. | answer that
they are brought here by these steam
ship companies for employment In the
Industries of this country where they
soon drive out the native and the older
immigrant employees and constitute
practically the entire force of unshlled
labor I'm many lines of industry in the
sections of the country where they are
distributed.
This Is largely the root of the re-
cent trouble at Lawrence, Mass. There
we have city of 5000 population and
only 1900 natives. Ninety-two per cent
OF the unskilled employees in the tex
tile works at Lawrence are foreigners,
most of them recently arrived, and the
conditions at Lawrence are typical OF
conditions in the woolen industries in a
large part of the country
