KEEP PLITERACY TEST
IN IMMIGRATION BILL
Committeeman Also Provide
Penalty for Steamship Com
panies Which Bring Undesir-
abIes Here.

The Burnett immigration bill, which
has been vetoed by two Presidents,
probably will come from the House
Committee on immigration this week
and another attempt will be made "a
enact It into law. The bill will retain
the literacy test, which caused vetoes
by President Taft and Wilson. but was
amended in several important partinu-
lars at an executive meeting of the
comNlttee yesterday afternoon.
On motion of Congressman SABBATH OF
Illinois, the committee struck from the
bill the provision that immigrants from
Mexico, Cuba and Canada should be ex-
empt from the limitations of the pro-
posed law. Mr.. SABBATH is an opponent
of the literacy test, but he insisted that
the literacy test, IL included shall be
made to apply to all immigrants.
Another change made in the bill was
by an amendment increasing the mead
tax on immigrants from "a to ". The
bill originally carried an increase to 80,
The bill also was changed to give the
Commissioner of immigration authority
to refuse admission to any immigrant
who for any reason" might become a
public charge.
Excludes Asiatic Question.
After a heated discussion the commit
tee decided not to include specific legis-
lation to stop immigration from Asiatic
countries. Pacific coast members have
been demanding most drastic legislation
along this line, but the committee de-
clded to report out no anti-Asiatic bill
until the Secretary of State may be
consulted regardi>g Ahe international

The comn>/tee voted Alvorably on ar

coC><Sry undesirable immigrants who are
refused admission. Under the proposed
amendment, the steamship company
would be required not only to take back
to Europe such immigrants, but would
be required to repay to the immigrant
his passage money, this payment being
in nature of fine for the careless
ness of the steamship company. The
amendment is designed to bring about
more strict inspection Of immigrants be.
fore they are allowed to take passage

GOldfOgle Opposes Measure.
Former Congressman Goldfoglc, of
New York. appeared before the commit
tee in opposition to the bill. He relter-
ated his opposition TO the literacy test,
alleging that II was hardship upon
the worthy immigrant who may have
been denied educational advantages
while 1t would not interfere with the
criminal classes possessing educational
requirements
Mr.. Goldfogle said he did not expect
any great movement or immigrants to-
ward this country after the European
war, because of the work of rehabilita-
ton that would require the prospective
immigrants to remain in their own
countries. He suggested. however, that

is more apt to find the business
man in his office, or the house
wife in her home in the morning
than any other part of the day.
The Saturday morning rush is
caused by the closing of so many
places of business at noon, which
means that the work for the whole
day must be disposed of in the
morning.
Patrons are not inconvenienced
by the increased number of calls,
owing to the effective system al
every station.
Each call is registered daily
and report made of the totals.
When calls on a certain line in
crease, an operator is employed to
care for them, and during the
rush hours" enough extra oper-
ators are put on to handle the
increase.
