Immigration Restriction League,
Discussed Question.
TROUBLE N The NORTH
Many Men and Women Coming
to America Belong to Very
Low Class.
TROUBLE IN THE NORTH

| Mr.. j. III. Patten. Secretary of the
| Immigration Restriction League, is In
the city on business. The league, as
its name indicates, Is interested In
occurring Federal Legislation that will
slft out undesirable aliens. 1T is not
/ opposed to immigration as such and
was organized q few years ago by
such we'll known men as Owen Wister,
the novelist; John Tiske, the historian;
Henry Holt. the publisher; James Bron-
son Reynolds the Presidents special
Investigator; Joseph Lee. the phlan-
thropist. and other public-splrited men
familiar with the changing .,naracter
and deteriorating quality Of immigra-
ton as its source was shifted from
Northwestern to southeastern Europe
and Western Asia by the profit making
greed of foreign steamship companies.
To representative OF The Times
Dispatch Mr.. Patton said:
You people OF Virginia havo hit
upon the right plan, and you ere very
your State Department Of Immigration
such an able. right-minded man as Mr..
Koiner. State selection is the only
plan II you would escape tho serious
social. economic, political and racial
immigration evils from which tho
Northeast is SO sorely suffering. as a
result of the present indisorininate UNI
restricted influx. Our present Federal
laws are mere feeble police regulations
only half enforced. and are no kind
of check upon the foreign Transports
tion and other selfish interests making
the whole country, as they have tho
Northeastern cities, q dumping ground
for the very worst foreign elements.
''Just think Of 1T! Last year over
100000 of aliens entered the United
States. Such, a number exceeds tho
population Of any Southern city, many
Southern State, and is greater than
the population OF any one of eighteen
Southern States and Territories.
But Of far greater Importance is It's
quality. or the multitude-and never
in all history has there been such an
invasion of our country-eight-ten
came from sections of Europe and Asia
and was composed OF races which un-
til very recently sent us no inlmi-
grants. Three-fourths settled in tho
large cities Of six Northeastern States.
