The United States government,

DECEPTION OF ITALIANS
False Impressions of America Giver
by Steamship Agents.

DIR. Morris Fishberg of New York, an
agent of the bureau of immigration. who
was sent abroad to investigate aliens at
nicted with loathsome conta gious diseases
has made his report to the Department of
Commerce and Labor. He says that after
very careful study In eastern and south
ern Europe he is compelled to report that
steamship companies can prevent these I'M
desirable classes from coming 10 the
United States.
The steamship companies, he says, are
doing great deal now, but they have not
reached the full limit of helpfulness. He
charges that there are great many
frauds, particularly in Italy pra cticed In
getting immigrant passengers for steam
ships coming to this country, and that one
of the greatest evils is the employment OF
runners. who go through the country
and picture to the peasants that all Amer
lea is "a land of milk and honey" The
report does not make any specific recon-
mendatiOns.
