MANY uNDESIRABLES
AMONG IMMIGRANTS
Report of Results of Investi-
cations Conducted by the
Commission.

Washington, March 3.-Some facts
showing the far reaching character of
the work of the joint commission on
immigration which was appointed by
congress on February 90, 1907, We're pre-
sented to congress today through the
publication of d preliminary report by
the commission. The report deals With
practically every phase of the immigra
ton question. including oriental aliens
and other excluded classes. peonage,
charity among immigrants. white slave
traffic. conditions of steerage. anthro-
pology. congestion in large cities, alien
criminality. competition of immigrants.
school inquiries. administration of the
immigration laws, distribution of i'm
migrants aA~ other questions.
No conclusions have been reported
by the commission, but the scope of
the work is shown in a manner which
presageS extensive legislation in the flu
ture. 1t is stated that if the plans OF
the commission are realized the various
lines of work outside Washington will
be completed in the early fall prob
ably by September 10. The entire in
vestigation probably will be finished
during the next fiscal year
The report was printed and circulated
today to show the necessity for an ap-
preparation of s25O.OO0 to carry on and
complete the work. This far the ex-
penses of the commission from April
/. 1907. to February q. 1909. have been
s344736. There are at present l9S per
sons employed under the commission.
OF this number 81 are III Washington.
two in New York. two in San Fran
cisco. 81 are engaged in field work. and
20 i'll special lines of work.
The commission says 1t is generally
admitted by those acquainted with the
subject that. notwithstanding the fact
that the present law proposes to pro-
vide for the exclusion of every undesir-
able immigrant. thousands of undesir-
able persons are admitted each year.
1t has been found that the law in
theory far as fits exclusion provisions
are concerned. are exceptionally strong.
but in effect it is in some respects weak
and ineffectual. The commission says
it has discovered several sources of this
weakness. but 1t is its purpose to find
the others to recommend some effect
i've remedies.
One of the most important features
of the law resulting in the importation
of excluded classes. Notwithstanding
the eXpediture of about S500,000 annual
ly to enforce this law the commission
finds that 1t does not prevent the com
ing of Chinese laborefs in considerable
numbers.
/ An Investigation is being made into
/ the question of the importation anC
! harboring of women for immoral pur-
| poses. The results show that many
] women are being constantly imported
under conditions that amount to abso
lutte slavery. AS the results Of it's in.
quiry and the facts it has gathered
there has been a noteworthy attacl
upon this business which has resulted
in very marked decrease, since the
commission began its work,
