Washington, January H.-President Wilson received the immigration bill to- day as passed by Congress and. yielding to appeals for hearings. set aside three hours next Friday to give car to those who would urge him to approve or veto the measure.
 The measure went to the White House with the restrictive literacy test for ad- mission of aliens unamended, despite ire quent declarations by the President that this form of restriction did not meet with his favor. What the President proposes to do stiil is problematical. but the fact that he has granted hearings has aroused the hopes of champions of the measure that he will not veto the bill.

 When President Taft vetoed a similar measure it was repassed by more than two-thlrds majority in the Senate and failed by only few votes in the House.

INVESTIGATION OF
 BIC PH|LANTHROP|C .FOUNDAT|ONSbEGUN
"Illicit Gathering of Money Responsible for so Much Poverty, Asserts Sam
 ucl Untermeyer

New York, January 1s.-Samuel Inter meyer of New York, who was counsel to the Pujo committee which investigated the so-called money trust, and Roger w. Babson of Wellesley Hills, Mass. statis- tician, testified today at the openine ses- sion of the federal industrial relations commissions s investigation into the coun- try's great phanthropic organizations, namely: Tho Rockefeller, Carnegie. Sage, Cleveland (Ohio), and Baron de Hirsch foundations.
 MT, Untermeyer contended that while philanthropic foundations were ably man. aged. laws governing them should be re- vised. He advocated federal charters. linn tation a B to size of representation by fed eral trustees when the present trustees begin to retire and prohibition against the accumulation of income.
 Both witnesses assailed the absentee controlr exercised over many of the coun- try's leading industries, as not only un- fair to the workers. but usually contrary to good business practice.
 Method Unfair
 Mr. Untermeyer asserted that in his opinion the ''illicit gathering of money" in certain quarters had been the direct cause of much poverty and that nearly all railroads and other great corporations were completely controlled by banking in terests which had reorganized them after sI..1a .1 matters, he asserted, all questions regard ing labor conditions could be decided in one office. The concentration of power and capital was grossly unfair to labor. he said.
 The witness proposed that there should be established federal labor exchanges. compulsory state-regulated insurance against unemployment. sickness and acci- dent and laws doing away with the vot- ing of proxies upon stock and making 1t necessary for stockholders to vote either in person or by mail.
 Profit Sharing Plans
 Mir. Babson, who considered labor a commodity, and that wages were gov erned by the law of supply and demand. advocated profit sharing plans among the employees of large corporations. He said he believed much labor trouble and social unrest was due to board of directors sitting in an offioe building in some other city, usually New York. These directors. he asserted. nearly always were repre- sentatives of banking houses which had financed the corporations. Capitalists. he said, have no grudge against labor. They simply are indifferent.
 Witnesses expected to appear tomorrow are Ida M. Tarbell, John Mitchell and Representative David J. Lewis of Mary

Where's The Difference.

If a lassie wants the ballot
To help run the town,
And a lassie gets the ballot
Should a lassie frown?

Many a laddie votes the ballot
Overcome with rye.
If a lassie works for wages,
Toiling all the day

Quite as well as he,

The Peril of Austria.
m the New York Times.

II the Pope dld say JhaL ne
feared the disruption of Austria
was inevitable unless peace was
brought about within a short
time" he merely gave utterance
to an opinion that has become
very general. 1t seems not only
inevitable, but near at hand. Be
fore the wal is over or even near
its end we may see the downfall
of the empire which, seventy
years ago, dominated Europe.
The greatness which reached it's
height under Metternich may
soon end in destruction under
Burian.
At least in theory and on the
face of the official documents it
was Austria who began the war,
who brought about the universal
calamity, and her punishment is
as terrible as if her guilt were
all that it seemed. She entered
on her ruinous course with as
much gayety Of heart as did the
French in 1870, and the non
calance with which she embarked
on the easy task Of destroying
Servia had a rebuke almost mel
odramatic when her crushed and
broken armies fled helter-skelter
back to Austrian soil.
In this case the strange obtuse-
ness of German diplomacy was
matched for once by an equal
stupidity in the military field.
1t was Austria's task to hold
Russia back while Germany was
crushing France. She did not
hold Russia back; Russia today
has almost surrounded Hungary
and is sweeping through Buko-
wilma, while Pennsylvania is in
imminent peril. Not only could
she not hold Russia back, but she
; could not even defeat Servia, her
three invasions of the little State
have ended not only in rout, but
-, in paralysis and confusion of mil
, itary councils. Today she faces
i, Servia not only defeated, which
! would be enough, but irresolute
and painless, which is worse. The
plan for a fourth invasion seems
to have fallen to the ground with
Count Berchtold's disappearance
y from the Foreign Office, where,
y in July, he played so sinister a
. part in checkmating the at
tempts to avert the war.
o Meanwhile the economic situa-
+ ton in Austria is becoming SER
ious, and soldiers are kept from
d the firing line to dispense mobs
e in such great cities as Budapest.
The signs of internal dissension
are too numerous to be waved
aside. The latest and probably
final disaster in Servia led to
l. anti Government demonstrations
and it is not possible longer to
n doubt the growth of a feeling in
Il Austria that she is being sacri.
feed to the military needs Of
Germany.
Macmillan Harden, cOntemp
n tuously says that Germany
should cease wasting her ener
n gies in defending an all,
who is incapable of defendin,
herself. There is probably some
thing to be said on both sides
but there is some evidenc
Ithat a bitter feeling is GROWN
between Austria and Germany
Harden is brutal but truthful
and the signs of Austria's in
pending downfall are as appal
ent in Prussia as in Rome.
