Senate immigration committee wrapped up hearings on the immigration bill. Commissioner General Frank Sargent favored keeping the educational test but would accept its removal if the bill remains effective. He urged retaining the $3 head tax and warned that frontier vigilance is costly, citing smuggling of Mexican workers to Colorado and New Mexico mines. He argued labor is available at fair wages and that transportation firms seek unlimited migration for their interests rather than farmers or manufacturers.
