Reorganization Likely.

An article in the Kansas City star
says:
New York, Jan. 3i-Complete reor-
ganization OF the system OF railroads
originally known as the Chicago. Rock
Islanl & Pacific lines. including the
abolition OF its two holding companies
is likely to be announced soon. Law
yers representing the system are az
work on the details which will prob
ably be submitted for ratification to
the interstate commerce commission.
When these plans are carried out
they viii leave but one company
where three now exists and the man
agement and operation OF the company
will be under the control OF the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific railway
company. and Illinois corporation.
1t has been known for some time
that the leading interests in these
lines contemplated the abolition Of
the holding companies in conformity
with the wishes OF the administration
at Washington. In abolishing them II
will be necessary to provide for other
issues Of securities in place OF the four
per cent collateral bonds OF the Iowa
corporations and the stocks issued by
the New Jersey corporation
II was believed possible in financial
circles that the move might necessi
tate formal application for receiver
ship, in which event the receivers Of
trustees would take charge Of the
railway company's stock for tho col
lateral bondholders

Reduction Explained.

Shawnee. Okla. Feb. "A consid-
cradle number OF men were put to
work at the Rock Island shops this
morning, according TO reliable inform
alton. and there are prospects OF a
gradual increase OF the force until il
reaches almost normal While no def
mite Information as TO the probabsle
increase Is furnished. il Is believed
that It will be such that the payroll
for February will be almost twice thar
OF January.
The explanation OF the recent laying
off Of a considerable number OF EN-
ployes is that the appropriation for
each month is based upon the freight
business done the previous month.
The continued rainy weather dur-ie
December made the shipments OF cot
ton. which ordinarily constitute a very
great portion OF the business Of tha;
month, considerably shorter than
usual Consequently. the appropria.
tion for the succeeding month OF Janu-
airy was small-only Sl3.o00-all o.

During January. however business

tions win be made and more men en-

Washington. Feb. 2.-Passage by a
two to one vote of the immigration
bin. including the literacy test before
the honse adjourned tonight was pre-
dicted by Chairman Burnett this morn
ing
The first fight centered on the lit
eracy test The California members
hoped 10 force a vote on Japanese ex-
clusion by offering amendments pro-
viding for the exclusion of Asiatic
laborers.
Declaring he was not opposed to
the literacy test, Secretary Wilson to-
day recommended to the house a bill
to provide for the exclusion of procur-
ers. male or female. and immoral wo-
men. Skilled contract laborers should
be excluded the same as unskilled, he
said The department OF labor should
be authorized to deport persons who
committed crime. even though not
convicted
Wilson reported more than a million
immigrants last year and 26 per cent
were llliterate. immigration from
Asia amounted to only one per cent.
immigration Increased one hundred
per cent during the last six months.

Washington. Feb 2.-The president
believes that assisted immigration"
should be prohibited By law
This is his only decision in the i'm
migration problem. and he told callers
today that he would form no opinion
on the literacy test until he had con.
suited party leaders.
The president has been deluged
with callers and petitions opposing the
literacy test but his mind is open on
the question.
Wilson admitted that he was sur
prised at the apparent lack OF inter
est in the public hearings on ANTITRUST
legislation he said he presumed bus
mess men were satisfied with pro
gram outlined and believed they would
be treated fairly by congress.
The president announced that he
was negotiating with eleven nations
for Bryan's peace treaties.
Because certain senatorial candi-
dates have announced that they had
the support Of the administration. the
president declared the administration
would not line up for candidates If It
