I do not suppose that any of the steamship or the railroad companies are particularly favorable to this legislation. They look more at passenger receipts. I am afraid. than at the effect ow the quality of American citizenship or American boats or American labor of an unrestricted immigration. but the company that we have heard from is the North German Lloyd. The immigration that is affected by this illiteracy test comes from Bohemia. from Poland. from Hungary. from Russia. from Italy. Its great ports of exit are Bremen and Hamburg and Genoa and Naples. To all those points go the steamers of the North Getiman Lloyd or of the Hamburg Line. which is practically the same thing.
