Eestial Actions of Crew.

Members of the crew. said one
woman agent, never failed to deal a
woman passenger, blow when she
was found standing on the framework
Of lower berth to get anything from
an upper berth. If a woman was
dressing they always stopped to watch
[her.
"One night. the chief steerage ste
ward entered our compartment but,
not noticing me, approached a Polish
girl, who was apparently the only oc-
cupant She spoke in Polish saying,
My head aches; please go on and let
me alone But he continued and soon
was insulting her. The girl, weaken
ed by seasickness, defended herself as
best she could, but soon was struggl-
ing to get out of the mans arms.
Just then other passengers entered
and he released her.
The writer tells of repelling advance
es on the part of the crew and stew
ards with hard. unexpected blow on
the offenders face She says:
1.-The manner in which the sailors,
stewards, firenen and others mingled
with the women passengers was
thoroughly revolving. The language
and the topics of their conversation
were vile. Their comments about the
women and made in their presence,
were course"
Concerning other conditions in the
old type of steerage which still exists
on many steamers, agents of the COM
mission are just as severe. In the in

following prominent Walla Walians
are quoted:
III. HI. Turner: 1.-THE holiday edi-

very credtable publication, and one
that. if circulated outside Of the city
ought to materially aid the efforts of
the Commercial club and the business
men to convey to homeseekers an ad-
equate idea CT the wonderful
sources of the WalIa Walla valley. and
the desirability of Walla Walla

J. c. Scott: 'Tn my opinion that

Statesman was q credit to the city.
The fact that we have paper so
aggressive and SO up-to-date cannot
but reflect credit upon the commun-
Hy.''
F. S. Dement,: Although l have
not had time to carefully read the
holiday edition of the Union States
man. it is certainly a credit to the
city"
L. e. Meacham: 'Unquestionably
the best thing yet 1t is such special
efforts as made in this issue that

front of the procession. l have not
the slightest doubt that more good

to their friends abroad than could

printed matter gotten out by the Com

important thing to be accomplished
in behalf of Walla Wal,a is that the

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA report
on steerage conditions based on in

of the immigration commission travel
ing as steerage passengers on different
trans Atlantic steamers, was made
public today through presentation to
the senate with recommendations for
legislation to better conditions. Con-

are described as appalling.
The general report of the commits
sion contains the reports of individu-
ais giving their experiences on board
steamships where they posed as steer
age passengers. A woman agent who
was insulted and compelled to with
stand repulsive privations said:
an those II days in the steerage l
lived in a disorder and in surround
ings that offended every sense. Only
the fresh breeze from the sea over
came the sickning Odors. The vile
language of the men, the screams of
the women defending themselves, the
crying of children, wretcher because
Of their surroundings especially, every
sound that reached the ears irritated
beyond endurance. There was no sight
