II has been recognized that there are
thousands Of immigrants who come to
y america and get lost in the busy life oil
mis- bustling country. While the immigra-
ton laws endeavor to exclude those who
are likely to become public charges. there
are no fixed rules by which such things
can be determined. In spite OF the most
rigid enforcement of the law, consistent
with the interests of the immigrant and
of the country to which he comes. there
are always prospective charity seekers
who thread their way through the immi-
grant station.
How many such there are was never
accurately ascertained until the immigra-
matter. Not only did il gather what data
il could I'm the few years allotted, but
it also disested the statistics of the CEN
sus bureau on pauperism in America. and
those. also. of the bureau of immigration.
the figures OF the two bureaus extending
from 1870 to 1865.
It's own plans of investigation were
made after conferences with the officials
Of the field department for the extern
sion of organized charity in the United
States In addition to receiving general

ance rendered to immigrants in certain
typical industrial centers. II secured data
relative to aid furnished immigrants dur
ing certain periods by charity organiza-
lions in a number OF typical cities.

cases were those of immigrants. while
only one-tenth OF them were cases OF
children of immigrants In Milwaukee.
Buffalo and Cleveland two-thirds of the
cases were immigrants: and the percent
age in Boston. Chicago and San Fran
cisco was more than three-fifths. In
number of cities more than half Of the
cases were immigrants. The inquiry re-
vealed the fact that there were nearly
four people dependent upon the average
immigrant who received assistance. 1t
Furthermore showed that the immigrants,
as whole, tried to get along. and that
only in one-fifth Of these cases presented
was the fault that OF the breedwinner. In
three-fifths of the cases aid was necessary

Of the bread winner in the cases of immi-

Americans. and in the case of the immi-
grant they affected fewer dependents.
A silent commentary upon the greater
dangers to which the immigrant is ex-
born, Is seen in the nature of cases which
require charity. OF the American char
ity seekers aided, III per cent were aid

lies of six, seven and eight. respectively.
1t will be seen from this that one reason
why the immigrant seeks charity so fire.
quently is the fact that he has such
large family and that any untoward in
cident in the family economy leaves him
unable to meet the demands upon him.
The charity cases examined show that
the immigrant respects the marriage bond
more than the native American. While
approximately eleven out of every hun
dred cases among native Americans were
those of women who had been deserted or
who were separated from their husbands.
among the immigrants assistance for that
cause was required in less than eight out
of every hundred cases. And almost with
out exception the races from southern
and eastern Europe showed the lowest
percentage of desertiOn and neglect.
The immigrant. as rule, hesitates to
seek charity until he has been in America
Tor four years. Seven-eighthS OF all the
cases presented in the immigration COM
missions report were those of immigrants
who had been in America for more than
four years. OF course. If they become a
public charge at an early date after land
ing they are liable to deportation, and this
may lead them to keep their misery to
themselves.
One is surprised at the number of those
seeking charity who are able to speak
English. The natural inference would be
that those who cannot speak the Ameri
can tongue would have the hardest time
to get adequate work, and that this would
bring a large percentage of them to the
charity relief organizations. But only
about per cent OF the children of immi-
grants who seek charity are unable to
speak English, and less than one-fourth
OF the immigrant charity seekers them
selves are unable to do so.

always so. In the earlier days. when
immigration wac unregulated. Immigrant

always SO. In the earlier days, when
immigration wac unregulated, immigrant
pauperism was one of the most serious
evils of immigration, and this was en-
HANGED by the fact that many European
communities preferred to pay the cost of
transporting their paupers to America
rather than provide for them in aims
houses. 1t is recorded that in many in
stances a large proportion of an entire
shipload of immigrants would be so des-
tftute that 1t was necessary to transport
them directly to pOOrhouses, where they
were cared for until they could get work.
The records of the poorhouses OF that
day show that they were a refuge for
thousands of immigrants who had Just
arrived in America with no other as
set than the scant clothes upon their
backs.
One of the things which helps to keep
down the number of charity-seeking i'm
migrants is the fact that those who come
over and fail in their battle for living
may be returned within three years at
the expense of the government. Often
1t happens that when an immigrant finds
America too hard for him, he suddenly
develops symptoms of incurable disease,
and finds himself unable to work. He
keeps up the deception until he reaches
the immigration authorities. and if he
can convince them, he is sent back to his
native land without expense to himself.
On the whole. the immigrant must be
commended for his pluck in fighting the
battle of life. He frequently has to
start out in lines of work which afford
the smallest compensation, and when he
is married he usually has more than his
share of mouths to feed. Large families
and low wages mean a very stern fight
with poverty. And, furthermore. his bur-
den Is made heavier by the lack of help
full encouragement from the native Amer
leans around him. His problem OF earn.
ings meet expenses is an ever-present
one. He has little chance to lay by any
thing for rainy day and when the rainy
day comes he simply does without the
necessities he cannot buy. He makes a
noble, il unheralded, fight against adver-
sity. and the wonder is that he is not
forced to seek charity more than he does.

All Points Taken Up.

All the questions raised at the trial are
dealt with in the brief. including an at
tack on the method of procedure adopted
in instituting the contempt proceedings.
The claim is made that Justice Gould was
without authority In May. 1911, to refer
the matter to Justice Wright after the
United States Supreme Court had reyerss-
ed the former contempt proceedings and
when there existed no matters of conten-
ton between Gompers and his associates
on the one side and the Bucks Stove and
Range Company on the other. The pro-
ceeding should not have been entitled in

Respondents Not Bound.

at cannot, therefore, be suggested that
the respondents herein were bound in any
respect by the conclusions reached in the
several cases BY Justices Wright and
Gould. If. however. the opinion in the
court below is considered carefully it will
be quickly seen to what an extent the
learned justice below was indebted to
these prior opinions for his facts and con-
clusions.
What counsel denominates as a curious
fact is the condition claimed by them to
be presented that, although the respond
ents have been found guilty and SEN
fenced to severe punishment for supposed
defiance of the orders OF court in practi-
cally continuing boycott against an in
stitution under the protection of the
court after the passage of an injunction
order. there is no affirmative evidence of
any kind in the record, from beginning to
end. of the existence of any illegal boy
colt whatsoever affecting. in the slightest
degree. the affairs OF the Bucks Stove and
Range Company after December %. 1907.
The several respondents deny any knowl-
edge of the existence Of such a boycott.
and no witness has been put upon the
stand who has referred to single in
stance proving or tending to prove its
actual existence.
