Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 75, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 December 1920 — JOHNSON IMMIGRATION BILL [ARTICLE]

JOHNSON IMMIGRATION BILL

Passed by House, But Defeat Is Expected in Senate. Washington, Dec. 13.—The Johnson immigration bill, as amended to prohibit all immigration for a period of one year, was passed today by the house. It now goes to the senate, where its defeat is predicted by the senate leaders. Last minute attempts by house leaders to restore to the bill the clause restricting immigration for two years failed, the house approving, by a vote of 181 to 165, the Mann amendment limiting the barring of aliens to one year. The vote on the bill was 293 to 41. Six members voted “present.”
