The Italian- American Civic Union and the different Jewish organizations of Greater New York will be invited to the next meeting of the immigration committee of the German- American National Alliance of the State of New York, which is to be held at the Imperial on January 13. Plans were discussed at the Inperial last night by Henry Weismann and the other committeemen and it was decided that the Italian and Jewish gOcleties should be asked to join the Germans in their fight ageinst the restrictions of the Burnett Immigration Bill and the educational test. A letter, written by Henry Weismann, in reply to letter of Senator John D. Works of California, was read and caused comment among the committee members.

Senator Works, in his letter, complimented the Alliance on its fight against far-reaching immigrant restriction, but warned against too drastic mg movement against the Burnett bill. He believed that it was the duty of every foreigner who has become an American citizen te advocate that only those of their countrymen who would make useful citizens be admitted. The Senator calls the illiterate test bill not satisfactory, because, he points out. it is not alone the educated person who makes the good citizen. Henry Weismann, chairman of the committee on immigration of the alliance, re.

plied to Senator Works, and among other things wrote: "The artificially promoted part of our immigration, due to the encouragement of those interested in transportation, can be checked and is being checked through the contract labor law. Any other immigration can not be classified as attificial, simply because through the distribution of reading matter and other means of propaganda, the minds of the aliens are enlightened and their desires for a better liffe are quickened into action, resulting in their coming here."

SOHMER TO PUT ON BREAKS.

State Employees Must Practice Economy During 1914. Albany. December 31-In an effort to pare the expense accounts of State employees to the bone, Controller William Sohmer plans some radical changes during the coming year. Employees who desire to ride in taxicabs whlle on State work will do so at their OWn expense. Street cars will be the approved means of conveyance.

Waiters, check boys and porters who ohtain tips will do 80 at the personal expeuse of the employee. Items for fountain pens and similar "necessary" plies will be eliminated. One of the hardest blows which traveling employees will sustain is the elimination of an expense allowance for week -ends spent at home. Heretofore whenever a man was kept out of Albany over Sunday he might go to his home, if convenient, and allowance would be made him at the regular rate for his hotel expenses. But no more.

Now he must spend Sunday in the town to which he is assigned. These changes and many more are beIng made to conform with the Governor's declaration that every possible cent must be saved.
