BURNETT THINKS
BILL WILL PASS
Will Reintroduce immigration Bill in
the House Today

Washington, June. 1.-THE Burnett
Dillingham; immigration bill. proposing
a literacy test and drastic changes in
the present immigration laws, will be
reintroduced tomorrow by Representa-
tive Burnett of Alabama. Mr.. Burnett
said poll of the House showed that it
stands nearly to in favor of an
immigration measure.
The Senate passed this bill over
President Tafts veto in the last Con-
gress. but the House failed to do so
by a narrow margin.
The literacy test clause of the meas
ure would require immigrants over IS
years of age to be able to read Eng
lish or some European language or dia-
lect. Exceptions would provide for the
immediate families of American citi-
zens. Persons who are ineligible for
naturalization except those who might
come in under existing treaties would
be barred.
