Aid for Immigrant
Object of League

NEW YORK, April 3.-Plans for the
distribution OF immigration from the con-
gested centers of population to commu-
mites and colonies in the various states
were adopted at the first meeting here
today Of the newly organized American
immigration and Distribution league.
The league proposes the following spe-
cial remedies In connection with work
for the immigrant:
Have steamship companies improve
conditions in the steerage, teach clti-
zenship TO adult immigrants in night
schools, better understanding with union
labor by a campaign of education to
prove that immigration is not a menace
to high wages and prosperity, but a
prime factor In the continuation Of both;
an impartial board OF inquiry to deal
with immigration matters. to induce
states to set aside sufficiently large
tracts Of idle lands, so that communities
OF immigrants OF one race may be en-
couraged to settle and become self-sup-
porting farmers; build good roads TO
markets and in general to give the in
dividual immigrant more watchful care
and to aid in making quickly a liyeli-
hood.
These officers were elected: President,
c. Oliver Islin, New York; vice presi-
dents. Mrs. Harold F. Mccormick, Chi
cago; Congressman Francis Burton Har-
rison. New York: F. NJ. Smith. Oakland,
Cal; DR.. Felix Adler. New York; treas
urer. Lee Kohns, New York.
Prominent men, including the COVER
nors OF several states. were named as
chairmen OF various committees.
