The Senate committee on immigra-
ton today ordered favorable report
on the immigration bill which passed

the literacy test for admission of
aliens, which caused former Presidents
Cleveland and Taft and President Will
son to veto previous immigration re-

provisions of the House bill except that
which would require matrons to travel
in the steerage of immigrant vessels
bound for the United States. The bill
has not yet been reported from COM
mittee, but will be in a few days
whereupon it will go to the calendar.
Measure May go Over.
When it can be taken up for consid-
Grafton is undetermined. as appropria-
ton measures are waiting to follow the
passage of the army reorganization
bill. Some democratic senators feel that
there is no demand for this legislation
at this time, and that it should go over
but there has been no definite decision
to let the bill rest on the calendar
Champions of the measure will attempt
to get it before the Senate in the near
future. but leaders say appropriation
national defense and revenue measures
must be given the right of way.
