plant against Chancellor Day as n di-
rect attack upon free speech and free
press. The decision was greeted with
cheers and long continued applause.
The charges against Chancellor Day
contained five counts and were to the
effect that he had DETAINED President
Roosevelt in some of his public utter
ances. DIR. Day made no effort to an
swer the charges.

cision to throw out the charges Of Mr.

same charges might just as well be
brought against some member of the

editor of the Christian Advocate. were
made by Rev. George A. Cooke of the

of the New York East conference of
Methodist Episcopal churches in

missed by unanimous action. Charges
against the same men had been pre-.
viously preferred by Rev. Mr.. Cooke,
but they were not sustained. Mr..
Cooke today asked permission to eN-
plain his attitude in the renewal OF the
charges, but the right to take the floor
was denied on the ground that he had
no standing in the conference.
Rev. Cooke. whose charges against
Rev. Drs. Buckley and Bovine were

Finding Jobs for Our New

375 Places for 100 Men
Even During the Hard
Times.

Exclusive service from Charities and The
Commons Press Bureau.)
The So-called Galveston movement
to divert Jewish immigration from
New York to the gulf ports has at
tracted wide attention. The doubt
has been as TO the feasibility of the
plan. Would not the newcomers"
IL has been asked, "be dissatisfied ia
the west and drift back to the east
erns settlements of their own nation
ality?"
The plan has been effective for SO
short time that sufficient data to an
swer the question positively has not
yet accumulated. Still, the experience
of one of the most important distri-
button centers for the Galveston move
ment is instructive. OF approximately
1000 immigrants who landed in Gal
weston in the six months following the
establishment of the Jewish In1mi-
grants Information Bureau, July /,
1907, about ten per cent were sent to
Kansas City, where they came under
the care of the United Jewish Chari-
ties and of Jacob Billikopf, superin-
tendent.
An individual record of each of
these hundred persons has been kept
by him. 1t was rarely necessary to
furnish board longer than a week at
an individual cost of between five dol
lars and six dollars. Within that
time positions were almost invariably
found. The period covered includes
the months of financial depression
which made employment uncertain.
Mr.. Billikopf found 375 jobs for his
hundred charges. In most Instances
positions were lost through no fault
of the employees. Rarely have more
than half a dozen men been out of
work at one time, for the West has
not been seriously affected by the
financial depression as the East.
All sorts of occupations are repre-
scented among immigrants. There are
tailors, shoemakers bricklayers, tin
ners, blacksmiths. butchers, book
keepers, locksmiths. woodworkers
Wherever possible men have been pro-
vided with work at their own occu-
pations. In many cases. however,
this has proved impossible and they
have taken whatever offered. AT

present the taiiOrS are making the
highest wages. In some instances
their pay has gone to ST, SIS and
even $40 a week OF the lightweight
persons listed as at work May /,
forty-eight were receiving wages I'M
der SO a week, with $3.50 as the
minimum. Thirty-six are getting be-
tween SO and SIS and four were max
ing SIS or more, the maximum being
$40.
The record kept at the office of the
United Jewish Charities in Kansas
City makes interesting reading There
is w. B., for instance, soapmaker,
who arrived July L, 1907. He is work
ing in a packing house for SO week.
Since his arrival he has saved S175
and has sent for his family in Russia
n. P. tailor, is making SIS week,
has saved 500 and expects to send
for his family. l. T., a laborer in a
junk yard at SO a week, has sent
more than 500 to Russia NJ G., who
arrived August 6 out of his salary OF
$1,000 a week as a sash and door
maker, has saved 500 and has sent
for his oldest daughter from Russia
NJ. B., an iron worker on S12 a week,
saved $40 and now has taken a small
farm.
So it goes down the list with only
two diScouraging entries-One man
who was implicated in theft and left
town, and another who is listed as
an undesirable citizen working only
occasionally. But fourteen of the i'm
migrants, working for the most part
at meager wages, are credited with
having saved S1,265 since their arrival
in Kansas City.
The movement has not yet attract
ed the serious attention of the unions,
possibly because it is not on an ex-
tensive scale. In one instance it was
found possible to place a cornice

agent. II was pointed out to him
that the new conner would probably

The agent took the position that it
was better TO encourage such a man
to enter the union than to force him
into the ranks of the non-union
he should work in the shop On pro-
period allotted the immigrant was
able to join the union.
Apparently the immigrants diverted
to the west through Galveston are
not going to drift eastward. AT least
that is the Kansas City experience.

come TO Kansas City have left town,
