A resolution presented by Mayor Curley reporting disapproval of the Johnson Immigration Bill based on the 1890 census, on the ground that the Bill would tend to the development of race prejudice and would stigmatize as inferiors immigrants from southern Europe, was adopted by the City Council Monday night. Similar resolutions are pending in the State Senate and House of Representatives, passage being predicted for this week.
