Fight On Literacy
Test Will Succeed

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-After con-
ferring with President Wilson, Sena-
tor Lewis went to the Senate and an.
nounced that he would offer an
amendment to strike the literacy test
section from the immigration bill.
Senator Lodge, who fayors the liter.
acy test, moved at once to postpone
consideration OF the measure.
Senator Lewis said ut the White
House that he would consult with
Senator o'Gorman, OF New York, and
other opponents Of the literacy test
and attempt to determine how the
Senate stands on the question. He
said the bill contains nothing of i'm.
portance except the 1iteracy test:
1t seems now that the bill will be
sidetracked after Christmas and lost.
A. majority Of. the Senate fayors it,
but the leaders do not care to embar:
rass President Wilson by forcing him
to use his veto power on 1t.
