Movement Started to Protect Their
Rights when They Reach America.
NEW YORK. Feb. "a large meeting
ing Italian immigrants arriving at this
port was held in the United Charities
Building yesterday afternoon. Ernest II,
Crosby presided, and among those present
were Richard Watson Glider, " Franklin
Brush. " E McCord Eliot Norton. J. X.
PauIding, Cheyalier Giovanni Branch,
Italian Consul General at New York:
CheyaIier G. Rossi. C. Speranza. and the
Rev. Gaetano Conte, pastor Of the North
End Italian Mission, Boston.
Chairman Crosby in calling the meet
ing to order, said he was surprised TO
learn that the Italians. although they cut
numbered all other natiOnaliueS emIgrat-
ing 10 the United States. had no benevO-
lent organization to protect their inter
ests On reaching here. He said that the
proposed organization to aid Italian Inn
migrants had the support of Bishop Pot
ter Baron Faya. Italian Ambassador TO
the United States: the Rev Lyman Alb
bolt. and many other public men.
Rev Gaetano Conte. the principal
speaker, gave an Interesting account OF
the work done by the North End Mission
among the Italians of Boston. He descrtb-
ed the trials, hardshiis, and abuses the
Italian immigrant had to undergo from
padrones. employment agencies, and dis
honest bankers. many of them their own
countrymen The majority Of our im1ni-
grants are, 20 be sure, ignorant and sim
pie minded he said. but underneath all
that ignorance and simplicity there leafs
the heart of a man. They are honest and
Industrious. 1t is sometimes said that the
Italian iabOrer can live on - cents Gay,
but when ! discoyeTd that the other 80
cents of the dollar so hardly earned went
20 the support of his father, mother, wife,
or children in Italy, his self-denial ap-
pealed to me strongly. and l can safely say
that a man who will do that has the max
ing of a good American citizen in him
CheyaIfers Branch and Rcssi said they
were heartily in favor of the proposed or
ganization Richard Watson Glider. IN
presenting the report of the sub-commit-
tee on organization spoke a few words
in praise of the Italian character The
following committee was appointed, with

Senator Stewart and the Coinage
BiIis.-With the Committee on Coinage
Weights. and Measures and the Commit

senting bills calculated to undermine The
monetary value of silver. and make 1t
completely subsidiary TO gold. there has
been some wonder that Senator Stewart
of Nevada has been so quiet IN the
early days of the free silver controversy
Mr. Stewart was one OF those who sp~ Ike
