Steamahlp Companies Asaalled. "The opposition to this test .at bot tom is the same opposition that Is made to every effort to improve our immigration laws or to restrict in any degree the number of Immigrants. It comes from the steamship companies. For 25 years we have met that op position at every turn. It Is here to day." "My reason for supporting the bill," said Senator Williams, "is that I am afraid of Ignorance. I am afraid of the man who strikes put blindly to overcome the wrongs he thinks exist.' Senator Dillingham, one of the au thors of the bill, attacked Secretary Nagel for condemning the literacy test. Recent Eatrie Unskilled. "The Immigration Commission," said Senator Dillingham, "had made an In vestigation of. all the principal indus tries east of the Rocky Mountains and it showed that Immigrants who came in more than a decade ago were draw ing higher wages than those who have entered within the last 10 years. . This cheap, unskilled class of labor coming in for the last 10 years has crowded out the better class of Immigrants. "The Immigration Commission s re port shows," he said,' "that 87 per cent of this class of immigrants enter singly and work for low wages, crowd ing out the older class of immigrants.

Firemen Agree Law Has Objection able Features, and Will Join in Seeking Amendments. NEW YORK. Feb. 18. By accepting arbitration under the Erdman act, the Eastern railroads today averted a strike or nremen on 64 roads. Three men, under the law, will decide the firemen's claims, and their decision will be bind ing. The railroads, in giving way. reit erated their opposition to the Erdman act and declared that their only reason for yielding was that the public would not tolerate a strike. W. W. Atter bury, vice-president and general man ager of the Pennsylvania lines East, was cnosen as the railroads represen cauve. , The firemen themselves (admit the defects of the Erdman act, and while the present dispute will be settled un der the existing law, the firemen's president, W. S. Carter, will meet af terward with the beads of other rail way labor organizations and represen tatives or the railroads to request Con gress to amend the law ln certain re spects. The question to come before the ar bltrators Is principally one of wages. Tne nremen asK Tor an Increase de pending upon the size of the locomo tives, giving them a wage varying from $3,56 to 84 a hundred miles. They also ask lor two nremen on the heavier lo comotlves. The railroads had already expressed willingness to raise wages, but not to the maximum demanded. this, they assert, would cost 812,000,000 a year. ' According to Albert Phillips, repre sentatlve of the firemen on the arbitra tion board, the arbitration proceedings will be held In this city. They will be open to the public. Mr. Phillips said he and Mr. Atterbury probably would meet lor tne nrst time on Thursday, Barracks Filled With Toung Girls Could Be Maintained on Reve nue Yielded by Products, i . Declare Calculators. BERLIN. Feb. 18. (Special.) All last year German newspapers and publicists discussed busily and, as a rule unfrult fully, the problem of National Service for Women. But this was as a rule Implied state compulsory service; and the service which women were to per form varied from full military service to mere systematic training In house keeping and bringing-up of children. A good deal of levity naturally was displayed; but, on the whole, the Idea survived, as is proved by the fact that at present more than1 one organization Is trying to establish sometning like voluntary national "service. The Idea, for widely different reasons, has ap pealed to Germans. Militarists like the suggestion of stiff discipline; peace enthusiasts Imagine that an army of women busy In useful work would be a standing reproach to- milltarists; and anti-feminists say that If women are compulsorily grounded In domesticity they will forswear the vote and other male vanities. Ingeni ous calculations have been made to prove that barracks full of young girls could be maintained on the revenue yielded by sewing, knitting and cook ery. Solution for Poverty Offered. Dr. Felix Halm, an ingenious Stutt gart statistician, proves that the whole question of urban poverty can thus be solved; that if only the state insisted on 235,000 girls working hard for year there would be everywhere enougn bread, clothing, and blankets; and a still more ingenious statistician proves that the state could make a surplus of 116,000,000 out of the female conscripts' worK. The objections raised in some quar ters to women s national service are also worth mentioning. One was that before taking women in hand the state must finish with men. The admitted defect from the training point of view of men's compulsory service is that it takes its subjects far. too late; and at most entirely neglects them between the school-leaving age of 14 and th army service age of 20, which is at the most critical age, because parental control Is then relaxing. The Conservative Deutsche Tages- zeitung combats the proposal on a more serious ground. In any kind of mass women s training it. sees the germ of a universal female demoralization. "The woman, when in association with other women, loses all her good qualities. Women In the mass are frightful. Incompetence Is Feared. A third objection is that if national service were enforced on women, the state could not stop at the programme of teaching sewing, cookery and care of Infants; that it would have to teach law and medicine to the Intellectually superior conscripts; and that in the end the number of women competent in sewing, cookery and rearing children would be even smaller than it is today. as mere is no Immediate prospect oi tne state taking action, modest at tempts at voluntary service for women are being made by private organiza tions. The Union for Women's Eco nomic, Schools Is starting three Wo men's Serving-Places . (Frauendienst plaetze), where girls will be taught agriculture, gardening, nursing and other occupations. One is at Saar- bruecken, a second at Pirna In Saxony. and the third In Bavaria. If these tnree institutions, which are to be bar. racks with land attached, succeed, then women's service-places will be started all over Germany. The funds are to be obtained through public subscription. a patriotic society proposes to start somewnat similar institutions In Posen. Here the girls are to be trained In German patriotic and colonizing work." They are to engage themselves to serve a year.
