ASSISTING Ir1rlGRANTS.
Braun LearS That Austria Thus Gets
Rid OF Unde Sirable Element.


Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 1O-Marcus
Braun, of New York, the United States
immigration inspector who while on a
special mission in Europe recently
caught an official of the Austro. Hun
garian government in the act of tam.
pering with his mail, has reported to
the department of commerce and labor.
The work of Inspector Braun was of
confidential nature, and 1t is likely
therefore that the reports on it may
MOI be made public. 1t is known that
the reports show, not only through the
personal statements of Inspector Braun
himself, but also through official doc.
uments Of the Austro- Hungarian gov.
eminent and through affidavits of re-
sponsible persons, that the Austro--
Hungarian government is fostering and
encouraging the immigration to the
United States of its people, and at the
same time urging the immigrants not
to become citizens of this country, but
to get together all the money they can
earn here and then return to their own
country.
In the fostering Of this immigration,
it is charged, the Austro. Hungarian
government subsidies one or more
steamship lines, with the result that
they carry the immigrants to the Uni
ted States at notably low rate. BY
this means that government rids itself,
temporarily at least. Of some residents
who are not specially desirable, and
many Of this class succeed in landing
in this country despite the rigidity Of
tho immigration laws.

cause Of the rumors OF impending trou-

Both sides seem to be preparing for

they want the company to do.
