Horrible Facts About White SLAVE
Traffic Furnished Congress in a
Report of immigration Commission
Congress Re.Convenes After
Days Recess 10 Listen 10
Recital Of Girls Bought and
Sold.

Washington. Dec. 10.-Congress
reconvened this noon after a two
days recess.
A shocking story OF the white slave
traffic was submitted TO congress to-
day by the immigration commission,
composed OF three senators and three
Representatives, with Senator CALM
ger, OF New Hampshire. as chairman
II states that hundreds OF girls are
brought from France. Japan, China
and Other countries annually and sold
and held by threats. Many are in
actual slavery, bought and sold by
their proprietors. Letters, telling of
the sales were reproduced. II Is said
there Is a regular system, but there Is
no evidence of a trust or syndicate.
The commission recommends that
government agents be stationed at
the principal ports and that agents
on shipboard watch for possible vic
Tins OF the tariff. and that more thor
ough investigation than there Is. be
made at the leading ports OF this
country.
II also recommends that the lmmi-
grafton laws be changed, 20 that
allen women OF illrepute may be de-
ported at any time, instead within
three years as has been the rule;
that women should serve prison
terms before deportation: that there
should be a penalty for perjury and
that aliens should be required to
prove the time and place Of their
landing when they are held in de-
portation proceedings. This is be-
cause OF the tremendous slave trade
OF the Japs and Chinese on the Pa
cifc coast especially Seattle.
In the letters included agents
speak OF the girls as "clgars. T" Vari-
Gus letters place the market price
Of an ordinary woman at $500.
Those OF exceptional figure and
beautiful" are as high as 81 900. The
commission says the most deplorable
facts Is that men convicted for 1t
we're fined and their fines paid by
money earned hv their victims. 1t
recommends prison sentences for II.
