Louis N. Hammerling. president of the

delegation objected I'd the suspicion with
which immigration authorities looked
upon those arriving In this country car
rying prepaid tickets. The possession Of
such q ticket, he said. indicated that the
relatives or friends in this country were
disposed to help the new arrival. He
objected also to the practice Of the au-
thprides in labelling immigrants who re-
cefve money after landing, from friends
at home, as immigrants assisted by char
ity.
Speaks Of Difficulties.

presented by the immigration laws.

and l know your views well enough to
know that when that is the case you
would not have them accepted. You

Delegates Visit NaEel.
The President promised the delegation
to consider their suggestion.
The delegation also called on Secretary
OF Commerce and Labor Nagel
where the question Of humanity is
concerned" said Secretary Nagel, ''the
law Is now strained in favor Of the alien,
and not against him.
At Secretary Nagel's ofice some dis
