Crowded by Tariff Bill
Speedy Action Needed to-
Prevent 3 p. C. Restric-

From The Tribunsfs Washin1ton Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Protesting
against hasty action on the immigra-
ton bill, Senator Reed, Of Missouri,
to-day blocked It's passage temporarily.
1t was the intention of Chairman Colt
Of the Immigration Committee and
other Republican organization leaders
to pass the measure tonight, but when
Senator Hiram johnson proposed an
amendment for the admission of per-
sons subjected to political persecution
and Senator Reed took the floor to
such Importance. they gave up the at
tempt. A recess was finally taken
until noon tomorrow, when a renewed
effort will be made to pass it.
Unless the measure is quickly re-
moved from the road of the emergency
tariff bill, it will be laid aside for
some days to come. The House has
already passed the bill with certain
amendments.
Last Seasons Measure
The bill before the Senate is the
Dillingham; measure Of last session,
just as it went through both Houses
and was vetoed by the President, with
the exception of slight change as to
date Of taking effect. AS the measure
now stands it will become effective
fifteen days after passage and will
remain in effect until June 30, 1922.
The bill restricts the number Of i'm
migrants who may be admitted to the
United States in any fiscal year to 3
per cent of the number of natives of
the countries affected resident in the
United States in 1910. The bill is APP
plicable only to European countries,
Turkey in Asia, Africa and Austria
lasia
An amendment, proposed by Senator
Jones, Of Washington, provides that i'm
migrants coming to this country shall
be transported on American ships. He
made plea for this as one of the
means of building up the merchant ma
rine, and held that if the American
merchant marine was to be built up it
would have to be fostered in every
practicable way. The amendment was
voted down without a roll call. Sena-
tor Lenroot and Senator Pomerene held
that the amendment would violate
treaty rights.
Senator Kenyon advocated the Jones
amendment. He spoke from his expert
