ASSISTED IMMIGRATION.

Tho immense increase in immigration to
the United States during the past few
months has evidently aroused the authOrl.
ties at Washington to the necessity Of
adopting measures to secure Il more ef-
fective restriction of the inroad of aliens
A suspicion is entertained in Washington
that immigrants from those countries
that are sending the largest number OF
aliens To our shores arc assisting unde-
sirablc classes to flock to this country,
The marked exodus OF undesirable pco-
pie from Italy has also begun again.
while new feature of immigration is the
nppearancc of large companies of boys
who seem to be imported in accordance
with systematic plans. There il appar-
entity ground for the belief that the old
system of bringing in laborers in viola
ton of the labor contract labor law Is
again being carried on in an extensive
manner.
The most difficult thing 10 meet, how
ever, Is tho evil of assisted immigration
which is being continued In spite OF the
protests forwarded through our diplomatic
agents by tie state department. The
