oos for following I'D. 1t was found that
only IFS of those immigrants had gone to
the addresses given. At fifty addresses
given no girls had ever been sent for or
received. while there were no such ad-
dresses in eight cases. and three were the
addresses of disorderly houses.
The conditions revealed by the investi-
cations Of the immigration commission S
agents were made known to the immigra-
ton authorities at the several ports
where these abuses were found to occur
and it resulted in the confirmation or the
results of the investigation anu In PROOF
that the investigators had performed their
work carefully and conscfentiously ana
had always tried to stay on the cOnserva-
tive side Of the facts in stating the re-
suits The immigration authorities, as
a result, communicated these innings 10
the immigra ton societies and homes, and
since then the most dilgent efforts have
been made both by the immigration au-
thorities and by the immigrant homes
and societies. to weed out the unworthy
and to make sure that hereafter proper
care shall be taken that young immigrant
girls that are placed by the organizations
shall be placed amid wholesome surround
ings In justice to the spirit of helpful
ness and phila nthropy through which i'm
migrant homes and societies have been
established and are maintained, it is to
be said that the abuses that have been
found have arisen through lax super
vision. which has been more the result
of confidence in arrangements which have
proved themselves unworthy Of II rather
than through any indifference to the fate
of the immigrant girl.

IMMIGRATION.
X-InmigrantH Homes
and Aid Societies.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Immigrants arriving in this country
usually expect to go to some relative or
friend Or to have some relative or friend
to meet them upon arrival. But it fire.
Quently happens that these relatives or
friends fail to meet them or to send them
funds for continuation of their journey.
In such event the letter of the law would
require the immigrants to be deported
since. being penniless, they are likely to
are trustworthy persons or organizations
who will undertake to care for them until
they find employment are brought
into touch with their relatives or friends.
the immigrants may be discharged to
them after five days detention. The i'm
migrant. under these conditions. is given
his preference Of being discharged to the
agents OF the homes and aid societies or
of being deported. Usually he takes the
chance to be thus discharged.
In order to afford such immigrants the
opportunity of landing and to assist other
immigrants to avoid the hundred and one
dangers of being turned adrift in big
city where no one else tries to protect
them from the innumerable scoundrelS
who would rob them and lead them into
vice, many churches and phiianthrop1c
organizations have established these i'm
migrant aid societies and homes for the
care of the immigrants until such time
as they can get along themselves.
Some Of the societies receive annual

destinations. and send their names and adj
dresses to those who can look after them
If they are going to other cities, appear
before the boards Of special inquiry in
their behalf and make their appeals to
the Secretary Of Commerce and Labor in
the event it appears that the decision Of
the commissioner ought to be altered.
When they do all these things in the true
missionary spirit they are rendering an
invaluable service to the immigrant. But,
unfortunately, some of them do not. In
spite Of the watchfulness Of the immigra-
ton authorities some OF these mission
aries disgrace their profession in many
ways. Some have been known to come
to their stations drunk, some take money
for their services and transform them
selves into petty attorneys, while others
have been known to take advantage Of
helpless women. But for the most part
the immigration missionary is upright
and worthy.
Some of the homes to which the mis-
could be desired. The surroundings are
clean and wholesome, the moral atmos-
phere is excellent, the food is good and
the charges are no greater than the
pOcketboOk OF the immigrant will allow.
Often they charge only 90 cents a day
for board and lodging. and even less when
1t is by the week. But more important.
in such places the managers are very
careful that the women and girls shall
be placed where there Is a good moral
atmosphere. None of them is allowed to
go to places which cannot give satisfac-
tory references. and a card index with a
follow-up system keeps the home in close
touch with the immigrants placed until
they become firmly established.
Other homes are as careful about the
conditions with which the inmates are

to the immigrants from those countries.
Others are supported by people OF GER
tain races for the benefit of Immigrants
Of their own nationality. In one year
nearly 5000 immigrants were discharged
at Ellis Island to homes and aid socie-
ties The law does not recognize the
missionaries who represent these organi-
atoms, but at each port the commissioner
OF immigration gladly co-operates with
those whose places are carefully con-
Quoted. Each home or society must file
application for the privilege OF having
immigrants discharged to 1t. and Its duly
accredited agents are giverHannual passes
to the immigration station.
These societies and homes. when prop
erly conducted, undoubtedly do an in
finite amount Of good. Particularly are
they Of immeasurable benefit to the
women and girls who come fr1endless to
America. But Investigations have re-
vealed the fact that many OF them are
not properly conducted. and that the very
conditions they seek to remedy are pro-
NOTED by them.
The immigration commission few
years ago Investigated the whole ques-
ton Of these societies and homes with
great care. 1t sent woman agents in
terested in social settlement work into
the field disguised as immigrants and as
foreigners seeking work, with some
others as applicants for immigrant help
Of various kinds The results Of their
investigations were a revelation to many.
At some ports it was found that the
commissioners were Indifferent to the
qualifications of the representatives of
the various homes and societies: at others
they seldom Investigated the character
Of the homes and societies making ap-
plica for permission to do the work,
while at a few they were as careful as
the limited powers of investigation per
mitted them to be. and yet at all the
ports there were missionaries whose
motive was revenue only" There were
homes and societies which did not prop
erly safeguard the interests of the immi-
grants because OF carelessness in placing
them. and even homes. where an abso-
lutely immoral atmosphere was en-
couHtered.

Some Homes Careless in
Handling the Women.

are distinctly careless in The matter OF
placing the women. They would not wit
tingly send girl out to act as servant
in disorderly house. and yet by failure
to investigate requests for help, frequent
ly they do SO. Still other homes did not
hesitate to send girls to such places.
even after 1t was explained to them that
such was the nature Of the places. or
forty-fOur homes investigated, half of
them did not draw the line on sending
girls as servants in such houses. The
missionaries made little better showing
than the homes in this regard. Twenty
one were asked for servants for disorder
ly houses: eleven supplied them. Only
three refused point blank to do so.
Some Of the aid societies refer immi-
grants to employment agencies. OF TWEEN
ty-two such agencies that were licensed,
only five failed to furnish servants for
applicants from disorderly houses. Prac-
tically every unlicensed employment
agency unhesitatingly furnished such
help.
In some Of the homes men connected
with their executive STATS were guilty, Of
immoral advances toward the investiga-
tors as well as toward other inmates.
The method Of the investigation usually
was for one investigator to get admitted
to the home and to stay there for several
days. Then another investigator would
come and apply for girl explaining that
she was wanted as a servant to tend the
door in a manicure establishment that
was enjoying police protection, and which
was run in connection with a lodging
house for transients Then the first in
vestigator would usually be called in and
asked II she wanted the job She was
usually admonished that If she took 1t
she should just close her eyes to what
went on. It was while the boarding in

that improper advances were made. In
