The Bur nett immigration bill, with it litera cy test, which, if finally retained, is generally exacted to cause President Wilson to veto the measure, wus re ported favorably today by the- senate immigration committee. Various uniendnieiiN lo the bill as it passed the .house had been made, but the literacy test clause waK unchanged Of that provision the committee's report said. "The bill contains one provision intended directly to restrict iinmi grntion, although said provision also, incidentally, is to a certain extent selective in it, operation. The litera cy test has hern adopted a. the best device o far suggested for reduc ing inimigraiion where it most needs to be reduced. So fully lias it been discussed at various times in the Mit that the committee does not deem it tieces.-ary to offer in this report extended comment upon it.

Rouse TELEPHONE ACHIEVEMENTS TELEPHONE SER VICE OF 70-DA Y THE CREA TIO OF THE BELL CO. In no line of human endeavor has the inventive brain of the scientist contributed more to the world's pro gress thau by the creation of the art of telephony, of which the Hell sys tem is the embodiment. When the telephone was born, nothing analogous to telephone ser vice us we now know it existed. There v:is no tr:;dition to uide, no experience to follovy. The system, the apparatus, the methods an entire new art bad to be created. The art of electrical engineering did not exist. The Itcll pioneers, recognizing that success depended upon the highest engineer ing and technical skill at once or ganized an experimental and re search staff of over .").")() eniriiieers and scientists, including former pro lessors, po.st -graduate students, scientific investigators the gradu ates of over 70 universities. From its foundation the company has continuously developed the art. New improvements ip telephones, switchboards, lines, cables, have fol lowed one another with remarkable rapidity. While each successive tyje of ap paratus to the superficial observer suggested similarity, each step iu the evolution marked a decided improve ment. These changes, this evolu tion has not been continuous, but is continuing. Substantially all of the plant now in use, including tele phones, i-.witchbo.irds, cables and wires, has been constructed, renewed or reconstructed in the pjst I' years. Particularly in switchboards have the changes been mi radical that in stallation costing in the aggregate millions have frequently beeu dis carded after only a few years of use. Since 1877 there have been intro duced fj'3 types and styles of re ceivers and 7'.l types and styles of transmitters. Of the 12,000,000 telephone receiver and transmitters owned by the Bell Company January 3, 1914, none were in use prior to 3!)12, while the average uge is less thn five years. Within 10 years we have expend ed for construction and reconstruc tion an amount more than equal to the present book value of our entire plant. Long distance and underground transmission was the most formidable scientific problem confronting the telephone experts. The retarding effect of the earth on the telephone current often im paired converstion through one mile underground as much as through 100 miles overhead. Overhead con versation had its distinct limitations. No possible improvement in the telephone transmitter could of itself solve these difficulties. The solution was only found in the cumulative effect of improvements, great and small, in telephone, trans mitter, line, cable, switchboard, and every other piece of apparatus or plant required in the transmission of speech. - . While the limit of commercial ov erhead talking had increased from strictly local to over 1,000.. miles as early as 1893, it was not until 11105 that conversation could be had over loug-distanc,. circuits of which a -miich .is 20 miles was in underground cables. By PHiti underground talk ing distance had increased to 90 miles. By 1912 it was possible to talk underground from New York to Washington. It was ilien that (he construction of underground conduits I mm Bos ton to Washington was determined upon- not that it was expected to get a thorough underground talk be tween those places, hut in case of storm r b!i.:inl, to utilize inter mediate sections in connection with tile ow rli .id. Our pcr.-ir.tcnt study and incessant experiment ut ion have produced re sults more remarkable still. Wo have perfected cables, appar atus and methods that have over come obstacles heretofore regarded as insuperable both to long distance overhead and underground conver sation. Underground conversation is now possible between Boston and Wash ington, four times the length of the longest European underground line. This enabled the Bell System in the recent grunt storm, so destructive on land and ea, to maintain communi cation for the public between all the principal points on the Atlantic sea board. Telephone communication W cs-t.ib!i-hcd between New York and Denver, is potentially possible be tween all points in the C tilted States, and by l!H."i will be an accomplished fact between New York and San Francisco. In our use of methods or appara tus, we are committed to no one sys tem. We own, control or have' the right to use inventions necessary to operate any system recognized or accepted as the most efficient. The Bell System must always recognize and in its selection must always be governed by the necessities of a na tional service, with its complex re quirements, which is infinitely more exacting than local, or limited ser vice. These achievements represent vast expenditures of money arid immense concentration of effort which have been justified by results of immea surable benefit to the public. No lo cal company unuided could bear the financiul or scientific burden of this work. Such results are possible on ly through a centralized 'general staff, avoiding wasteful duplication of effort, working out problems com- " mon to all, for the benefit of fill. The pioneers of theV Bell 'System " recognized that telephone service as" they saw it, was in the broadest sense a public utility; that upon them rested a public obligation to give the best possible service at the most rea sonable rates consistent with risk, investment and the continued im provement md maintenance of its property. Without this expenditure of mil lions and concentration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could not have been developed. What we have done in working out these great problems in the past should be accepted a a guarantee of what we will do in the future.- ' TIIEO N. VAIL, President.
