cided prejudice it has aroused against the
Italian population of New Orleans has brought
about the federation of all the Italian societies
there. The CARTE (Catholic) yesterday pub
lished the appeal Of Mr.. John Rocco, generally
known among the Italians as father of the
colony, for all the societies, social
benevolent, industrial and military. to
join this movement SO as to strengthen
the italian population there. One of the pur-
poses assigned for the federation is to cooper
ate with the authorities. in stamping out the
Malta and to get rid of all undesirable Italians
who have taken refuge in this country. The
federation will also raise funds to establish an
Italian library in New Orleans and to increase
the number of Italian schools. 1t will also
make purchases of plantations for the purpose
Of dividing them up into small tracts to be sold
to Italians desiring to 60 into the farming bu-
siness. Several OF the newspapers express dis
approval of the project and advise the Italians
to become Americans in spirit and sympathies
