HOUSE TAKES ACTION
ON, IMMIGRATION BILL
Amendment Rejected That Would
Open Doors Of United States to
Political Refugees

Washington, April 22.--After re-
jecting an amendment seeking to open
,the doors of the United States to for
eign political refugees, the house to- !
day passed the immigration restric-
ton bill substantially in same forma
It went through last session only to bel
given pocket veto. The bill now.
goes goes to the senate where republican
leaders said today it would be passed.
without delay. I
The measure IS designed to be oper-]
alive over a; period Of IA months and]
would limit, entry Of aliens to 8 per
cent Of the number Of nationals of
any country in the United States at
The time OF. the 1910 census. /
Three amendments slightly modify
ing its provisions were. adopted BY
the house although it was said tonight
that they might be stficken out by the
senate. One would permit admission
in excess of the limit of all aliens
clearly proving they had been sub
iected to religious persecution IN their
native land and were seeking refuge
here solely to avoid such hardships.
The second would admit of Amer
icaar citizens under 18i years of age,
independent of the percentage OF linn
itation and the third would give pre-
ference to families and relatives OF
American citizens and former ser
vice men honorably discharged from
the army or navy regardless of wheth-
er' they had been naturalized, in de-
termining the question of admlsslbllty
under the restricted total.
q The principle fight was over an
amendment offered by Representative
SABBATH, Illinois, ranking democrat on
the immigration committee. to open
the gates to political refugees. This
was lost after long debate which
was closed by Representative Mon
dell. republican leader, who said tnat
Under it even the former German en-
peror could come here.
This question was bitterly discuss
ed by Representative Cochran dem-
ocrat, New York, insisting that the
former emperor would be met oy
strong hands ready . thcow INN IN
prison. Mr.. Cochran declared Snat
the one time emperor was actually
: refugee from the United States.
Mr.. Mondell was vigorous IN &C.
nouncing the plan TO open the gates
for political refugees. "Under the
amendment offered" he said, mot
only could William, the damned come
here, but Charles, late emperor OF
Austria, and all the kings and princes
who had been spurned and spewed out
bv the people of Europe could come
Not only that, but every Russian op,
nosed to the regime Of Lenn ana
Trotzky would gain admission to our
shores. They, Lenin and Irotzky'
and all the foul hordes that have fol-
lowed them, could come in, and we
could not close the doors against
them even though they were avowed
anarchists" That is what this amend, !,
