greatly.
Not an accident resulted during the
demonstration, despite the large num-
Der of automobiles in the line. The
parade was more than a mile and a
half in length. The quick time in
which the men were transported to
the Countr Club showed plainly what

in the bill will be taken Monday.
Representative Mann, of Illinois
minority leader of the Huse. declared
that he was absolutely opposed to
the literacy test but that while he had
consistently voted against the immf-
grafton bill In the past, this year he
would voc for its passage. He pre-
dicted that this country might see the
greatest inflow OF immigration when
peace was restored in Europe that has
ever been witnessed
Representative Burnett, of Ala
bama, father of the bill and chairman
of the immigration committee, pre-
dicted that the end of the war in
Europe would see this country swept
by an enormous immigration of the
most undesirable class OF Europeans,
az the better classes would remain
to build up the country.
Much discussion resulted from the
often-repeated charge that the bill
was aimed to exclude immigration
only from the Roman Catholic coun-
tries. Representative Gallivan, of
Boston, made short and vigorous
speech, declaring that the day had
passed when "a literacy test would ex-
clude Irish immigrants, and when
they landed at Castle Garden they are
ready to make their examinations for
bachelor of arts"
The House agreed to meet Monday
NIGHT to consider private pension
bills.
