Cardinal Hopes President Will

Baltimore, Jan. Sir a statement

The cardinals statement follows:
at is disappointing to many
thoughtful citizens that the immigra-
ton bill has passed both houses Of
congress. By this measure illit.rates
will, in the future, be excluded from
entrance into this country. 1t is to
be hoped that Mr.. Wilson will act
with the same good judgment as he
has done on a former like occasion
and veto the bill. Similar bills have
been vetoed by preceding presidents,
who have been cognizant Of the harm
ful effect this test of literacy would
have upon desirable immigration.

which indicate his mental ability. The
test does not pertain to the physical

for their 'unrestrained language" and

Tended the bill in vigorous speech
which brought out a protest from
Trumble, chairman of the corpora
tions committee. Trumble appeared
to think that some of the remarks
made by Shannon were aimed at him,
with the result that the two men stood
and shot hot words at each other, ems
phasized by shaking of their fists.
Trumble said that he was not hostile
to the twice-a-Inonth pay day, but
he thought it st,sald apply 10 all em-

one kind. He said that his commit
tees had just reported out a bill COW
