The appointment s announced from

Powderly, one time commissioner OF
immigration, 20 be chief OF a new
division that has been created in the
immigration bureau 1t is to be
known as the bureau Of information
and its object is TO distribute the
immense tide of immigration over
the country rather Il an have 1t all
settle Immediately around New
York. 1t is good scheme and one
much needed, but there remains the
question OF whether or not the inn
migrants can be induced TO accept
its well meant Offices. The bureau
will keep in touch with the govern.
ors Of states and state immigration
officials, of whom there are many,
and will provide all the information
that can be demanded as to the labor
market, available land, railroad lines,
fares, and other pointers on which
newly arrived immigrants may want
10 act.
The conditions in the middle east
with the increasing tide of immigra.
ton are deplorable. Most of the
immigrants settle in New York
most Of them in the city and some
in the state. Others scatter to neal
by states. There were nearly a mil
lion and half arrivals last year and
of these 50 per cent settled in New
York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and
Massachusetts,. Meantime, the rest
of the country was crying for labor
and would have been glad to get all
of the aliens who were willing TO
work. 1t is believed that the bu.
reau of information can do some
thing toward remedying the condi-
tons. Mr.. Powderly, who has been
made the chief of the division, was
formerly the head of the Knights of
Labor. He is a good organizer and
an amiable man to deal with. The
appointments was palpably made
with a view to capturing the labor
vote.
