In this case that committee did nothing of the sort. It brings in a new and severe law. The House imposed an educational test. that the immigrant should read and write the English language or some other language. the Senate imposed the same test. that he should read and write his native language or some other language. and the conference imposes a new. drastic test. never passed by the House and never passed by the Senate. that he must be able to read and write the language of his native or resident country. That committee had- noright to legislate for the Senate and the House of Representatives. and to frame a provision not approved in either one or the other. which goes further than either went. And. again. this House said by this act that men only should be submitted to the educational test. that is to say. that all women should be admitted free of that test..
