LITERACY TEST
is FAVORED

Washington, March 25.-By the un-
animous vote of those present, the
Senate immigration Committee decid-
ed to report the Burnett immigration
bill with the hteracy test unchanged.
The bill recently passed the House of
Representatives by a two-thirds vote.
The literacy test provides that immi-
grants must read at least forty words
in either English or some other Ian
guage, dialect or tongue. The exemp-
lions include those fleeing from reli-
gious, racial, or political persecution,
and also the mother, wife, or grand
mother or father and grandfather over
fifty-five years of age. The bill now
goes to the Senate, with the prestige
of an r-whelming vote by the
House and the unanimous approval by
the Senate committee, whose chair:
man, Senator Smith, of South Carol
ina, said: 81 consider this bill the
most effective measure that has been
presented. to Congress in years for
the purpose of restricting undersira.
HE immigration. 1t is fair alike to
foreign governments and to our own
IDeople'' Strong pressure is being
lexerted to have the Senate reject the
lIiteracy clause in this bill, and trade
Iunionists are urged to notify thir Sen
ators Of their views on this question

FRISCO BITS

San Francisco, March 25. - The
Newspapers Solicitors Union claims
to be the first local in this city ito pay
the one cent assessment levied by the
American Federation of Labor for the
purpose of organizing women wage
workers.. The new wage scale of the
walters union calls for wage in
crease from SIP to $15 a week in
Glass B. restaurants. The Board of
Public Works has ordered building
inspectors to rigidly enforce the new
ordinance which provides that plank
ing must be provided for each floor
during the construction of steel frame
buildings to protect the workmen from
injury. Some of the largest restau-
rant owners in the city are complying
with the request of Cooks Helpers
Union for reduction of hours For
years the members of this union have
worked twelve hours day, six days
week for a weekly wage ranging
from $40 to $12. The union asks for
1912 hour work day and no reduc-
ton in pay. Union officials believe
the shorter work day will be enforced
without resorting to strikes.

Sixteen Hours Enough

Boise, Idaho, March %. Tying up
on siding for any purpose, whether
to wait orders or for the passing of
other trains, or for any other purpose
connected with the transportation of
freight or passengers, is as much a
part of the general movement of trains
as the actual running thereof" says
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco in upholding
la fine levied against the Great North
ern Railroad by the Federal District
Court of Idaho. The case was that of
la fireman forced to work more than
sixteen hours in one day, and who was
then compelled to work as a watch
man while his train stood on a siding
Both courts held that sixteen hours
work means sixteen hours work, and
if a greman is forced to do other work
after the limit provided by law is
reached, this constitutes an offense,
for every. activity of employees is es-
sential in the operation of the road.
