Ultimate Passage of Johnson Bill Is Almost Assured,

 Stop Foreign Flood

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Support- ters of the Johnson bill to prohibit immigration for two years won every preliminary skirmish in the house to- day with such ease that ultimate pas sage of the measure seemed to them to be assured.
 The only record vote that came dur- ing the two hour debate was carried by advocates of restricted immigration 151 to 9. This vote, taken on adop- ton ol a special rule to limit general debate on the measures to four hours, was taken by the bills proponents as an indication of the attitude of the house. Opponents of the bill disputes this contention. however.
 Two of the four hours allotted to general debate had been consumed when the house adjourned. Another two hours of general debate will fol- low tomorrow and then speakers will be allowed ony five minutes each. Chairman Johnson of the immigration committee. who drafted the bill, said that disposition of amendments prob ably would delay the final vote until Saturday.
 Debate at today's session was divid ed by agreement between Chairman Johnson and Representative Raker, Democrat, California. who led the forces friendly to the bill and Repre- sentatives Siegel, Republican of New York, and Sabath, Democrat of Illin- 0is. leaders Of the opposition.
 Partisan lines disappeared during the de0ate. Apparently by coincidence the leadership divided itself equally between Democrats and Republicans, one member of each party leading the forces for and against the bill.
