IMMIGRATION MAY
 LESSEN NEXT YEAR
Flood of Foreigners Now at Ellis
 Island Prcsages No Increase .t .' for Future.

New York, Dec 30.-Heavy immi- grafton, which has taxed the facilities of Ellis Island and delayed unloading of steamships at this port, is only tem- porary and presages no great influx of foreigners that will affect the labor market of the United States in the opinion of immigration authorities here. They estimated today that next years Immigration through New York will be only 300,0OO as compared with the pre-War figures of from S0O,00O to 1 100000 annually "...
 Few of the thousands of passengers arriving here daily from abroad are coming to this country unless they have been here before or unless rela- tiVes are already here. Probably 50 per cent. of the recent arrivals are re- serVists, mostly Italians, who left the United States to fight for the native land. Many of them are American citizens about whose admission there is no question. The balance of the ar rivals is composed largely of fathers, mothers, wives and children of men, Poles and Czecho-Slovaks who immi- grated prior to the war and arc now well esta blished.
 The arrivals include a large repre- sentatiOn of native-b born Americans who have been unable to reach these shores earlier because of war condi- tions. Some of them are from Ger many. An evidence of this is the fact that many arrivals have steamship tickets sold to them abroad four or five years ago.

Labor, Rate Making and Regional
 Control Points Of Difference NO SESSION ON THURSDAY
Conference Considering Cun1mins and Esch Bills Will sIron Out" Diff culties After FIolidays-Organizc Labor Opposes Anti-Etrike Parts.

Washington, Dec. 30.--Labor, rate making and regional control provi- sions of the Esch and Cunmins rail- road bills, the three principal points of difference between house and sen ate conferees, will not be reached be- fore next week, Senator Cummins said today. No session will be held Thursday, New Y ears Day..
 Car service sections of the bill were considered today, with the conferees agreed on government supervision of car distribution to shippers and un- dertaking to iron out only admins trative differences.
 Oppose -Anti-Strike Clause.
 Organized railway workers placed themselves on record at a conference last night as opposed to legislation designed to prevent strikes of railway employees and as favoring government control of the lines for at least two years
 The conference, called by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, was attended by representatives of the four big rail- way brotherhoods and heads of the 10 shopmen's organizations affiliated with the federation. .
 The parliamentary situation of the Cummins and Esch railroad bills was the chief topic under discussion. Among the conclusions reached by the conference were that the penalty clauses in pending legislation on rail- roads against employees quitting work should be eliminated and that gov- efnment control over the roads should not be relinduiShed for at least two years in order that a proper test of federal operations might be made. Opportunity for a fair demonstration was not offered during the war period, the conferees declared.
 The conference also favored the provisions of the bills which would establish better relations between the employees and the carriers.
