IMMIGRATION
House Repasses Measure that Has
Been Several Times Vetoed.

House RepasEeS Measure that Has
Been Several Times Vetoed.
After rejecting an, amendment seek
ing to open the doors of the United
States to foreign political refugees,
the. house on Friday passed the immi-
grafton restriction ,ibill substantially
in the same form it went through last
session only to be given a pocket veto.
The bill now goes to the senate; where
Republican leaders say:it will be pass
ed without delay. e..
The measure is designed to be oper-
ative over a period Of IA months and
will limit the entry of aliens to per
cent. of the, number of nationals of
any country in 1.-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 that they
might be stricken out by the senate.
One would permit admission in excess
of the limit of all aliens clearly pro-
viding they had been subjected to re-
ligious persecution in their native
land and were seeking refuge here
solely to avoid such. hardships. e.
The second would; admit of Arneri-
can citizens under 1s. years Of age, in
dependent Of the percentage Of limi-
tation and the third would give pre-
ference to families and relatives of
American citizens and former service
men honorably discharged from the
army or navy, regardless of whether
they had been. naturalized, in deter
mining the question. of admissibility
under the restricted total.
The principal. fight was over an
amendment offered by Repres sentative
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 that
under it even the former German en-.
peror could come here. -. 4a.:
This question was bitterly discuss
ed by Representative Cochran, Demo-
crat, New York., insisting that the
former emperor would be met by
strong hands ready, to throw him in
prison. Mr.: Cochran declared that
the one time emperor. was actually a
refugee from the United States.
Mr.. Mondell was vigorous in de-
nouncing the plan. to. open the gates
for political refugees. Under the
amendment offered" he said, not only
could William, the damned, come here
but Charles, late emperor Of Austria,
and all the kings and princes who
have been spurned and spewed out by
the people Of Europe could come. Not
only that, but every Russian opposed
to the regime of Lerin and Trotzky
would. gain admission to our shores.
They. Lenin and Trotzky. and all the
foul hordes that. have followed them.
could come in, and we could not close
