.rh!. only sssl 95 was paid out in conmi,.
sions.
In addition to the vast amount Of pracri
relief which is afforded by compelling A,
maintenance of family life and by securing
to working people the just payment Of wages
and redress of various grievances, still great.
cr moral and social service is rendered BY this
legal bureau. The immigrant who has been &C.
customcd to poverty, persecution and MUS
tice is made to realize that conditions are di.
ferent here. He is made to feel, Collectively
that he is under the protection Of law and jus
tice, and that, subjectively, he is bound to be
w-abiding toward others. There could
scarcely be a stronger influence toward appfe.
citation Of and affection toward American in.
situations.
THE NATURALIZATION BUREAU OF
THE ALLIANCE.
Supplementary TO this there is natlralira-
ton bureau, which prepares the immigrant tor
citizenship by instructing him not only in the
method of applying for naturalization and IN
the answering of the technical questions which
are asked in that process. but also in the d.
ties and spirit of American citizenship Thus
while the unique work OF the Alliance is to
heal that worst sore of East Side life, the
loosening of home ties and family sympathies
its whole work is comprehensive OF substantial
ly ali that is possible for the transformation OF
the alien immigrant, with his Old World sus-
picions and prejudices. into an intelligent and
loyal American citizen, confidently entering IN
spirit as we'll as in letter into the inheritance
of American institutions.
An interesting gloss upon the ways and
means and spirit OF the Alliance is given IN the
announcement that this year the usual printed
report of its activities will be omitted; IN cif'
cumstances which will make the gap in the ME
a mark of honor The report has hitherto
formed a considerable volume, costing prob
ably more than $500. This year it was believed
that that amount of money could be devoted
more beneficently to other purposes, and SO
mere survey" OF few pages was issued, cost
ing less than ore-tenth as much as the vou'
minous report
THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE ALLIANCE.
This was the more noteworthy Tor the fea
son that this was the twenty-hfth annual rep0''
and might well have been made even more
extensive and elaborate than usual But inc
twenty-fifth anniversary will not pass UNIV
ticed, but will have formal and tlttlng' though
inexpensive, celebration some time next noh"
