port of agents are to have charge ef
the distribution Of all Jewish girls
destined to inland cities. In New
York and California, women have se-
cured laws regulating immigrant lodg-
ing places and setting standard.
In few states they have co-opera-
tive employment societies where
housewives are banded together to Sc
cure employment for immigrants. The
Y. W.. C. A., The North American
Civic League for immigrants, and the
Protective League Of Chicago, supply
friendly visitors who call on immi-
grant girls in their homes, help them
to form safe associations, direct them
to schools. and otherwise act as
friends.
For more than a quarter of a CEN
tury, The National w. G. 7. U. has
maintained white ribbon missionary
at the port of New York to extend
assistance to the stranger at our
Ellis Island gate. In recent
years, this service has been ex-
tended to other ports of entry:
This. organization also recognized
the Importance of extending a
helping hand to New Americans,
and in the year of 1880
established a department of work
among Foreign Speaking people.
! It's object being not only to enlighten
young Americans along Temperance
lines, but to help the men and women
to become good citizens. The women
to become better mothers, and to
make the pathway safer for their
children. There is also joint plan
of cooperation between the Bureau OF
immigration and the department OF
labor to secure safe employment for
immigrant girls over 16 years OF age.
However, the work Of Americaniza-
tion can never be completely done by
Government or by organizations. 1t
depends upon the understanding SEN
timent and support of the American
Community. It depends on the home
ideals of the Community. American
ism can rise no higher than the homes
of Country. It can be no more
loyal and efficient than the women in
those homes. To the native born
woman comes the rare opportunity OF
interpreting the best in America. To
the foreign born woman and making
her loyal and efficient citizen.

i And in the words of Francis Will
lard, we all believe that one Of the
choicest fruits of Christianity will be
the growth of a bond of brotherhood
and sisterhood so close among al
nations, races and people, that we
shall become truly kindred each to the
other, and that great word Humanity
like rolling wave of the ocean o1
Gods love, shall wash out from the
sands Of time, the words caste, creed
and sex. Every utterance Of appre
citation, affection, and friendship, every
token of mutual cooperation, every
stroke of honest hard work undertaken
side by side, every sincere Prayer
helps forward this beautiful day thai
we call the coming of the Kingdom o1

campaigns, sanitation and care Of
babies and children. And In all
probability, the right Of suffrage will
be given to all women of the q. 3:
within few years, and in view OF
this fact the six million foreign born
women of voting age, demand thought
full consideration. Only so far as it
is an ignorant vote is the foreign vote
Objectionable. .
In the general advance Of the immi-
grant mother, toward American ideals,
and she does look up to us as her
ideal, the children are the moving
force, "the link between the past that
had no future, and the present that ac-
counts no task too great in the dawn
ing consciousness of proud manhood
and womanhood.' She has just as high
ideals, hopes and aspirations for her
children as any of us, altho she is
often handicapped by poverty and too
large families for her to do well by
them. By her lack Of knowledge OF
our language and customs, it is no
wonder she becomes discouraged by
her inability to reach her ideals.
The work of the Bureau of Natural
ization for foreign women is in itself
a facinating story. In many states a
woman becomes a voter with the
naturalization of her husband. In no
instance can a foreign family become
truly Americanized unless the wife
and mother keeps pace with the pro-
gress of her husband and children
Realizing this, the Naturalizing au-
thorities have changed the form OF
the declaration of intent to become a
citizen, so that this now includes the
name of the declarant's wife. In this
way about 225, 900 women during 1916

personal letter urging her to enter

order not to be left behind in the
process of Americanization, she shoult
learn how to conduct an American
home, in which American standards o1
living may be followed by herself ant
her family. Foreign women have re-

CLOSE RELATIONS Of
BUSINESS AND LABOR

Lake Junaluska. N. c., Aug. 28.---
One of the most striking features OF
the conference for Social Workers
was the discussion on Industrial
Democracy.
At the special request of Bishop
Cannon. the rpesident OF the confer
ence, General Julian S. Carr made a
brief statement concerning the plan
which; has been put into operation at
the Durham hosiery mills
He said that by the new plan the
employees of the mill elected a house
of representatives, one representative
being elected for every thirty en-
ployes. The senate is composed OF
the foreman of the different depart
ments of the mills.
The cabinet is composed OF the di-
rectors and the superintendents of
the several mills.
All questions Of hours, wages, en-
ployment and discharge OF workers
are In the hands OF committees APP
pointed by the senate and the house
a measure for any change in hours,
wages or conditions of work can
originate in either the house or the
senate, and. when passed by both
bodies, goes up to the cabinet for its
approval
General Carr stated that UP to the
present time no measure which had
been passed by both the house and
senate had been vetoed by .the cahi-
net. Buying. selling and financial
management are In the hands of the
directors
The most important factor in the
plan is the close relation, developed
between all connected with the bust
ness. The element Of personal touch
is the oil which makes the machinery
run smoothly.
The members of the conference
showed great interest in the plan as
outlined BY General Carr. and received
with applause the statement of the
general that he had fteer an employer
of labor for nearly fifty years and
There had never heeff anything APP

duration, and were seen to make

I'VE are facing a great crisis" Miss
Rowe said by way of opening. THE
question is not new"
She declared that she was opposed
to womans suffrage because il would
bring up the negro question.
Congressman Taylor. of Colorado,
who. addressed the senate Tuesday,
declared that both political parties
are trying to get on the band wagon,
said Miss Rowe, who was inclined to
the belief that. instead of the band
wagon, they were clamhering aboard
hearse.
The womanhood OF the country, she
said, is being made the football OF
politics She declared that she stood
upon the principle Of states rights,
upon which. she added. rests the in
tegrity of the republic.
| If the womans suffrage amend :
| ment passes she declared. 1t will
mean that the fifteenth amendment
which gives the negro the ballot. will
be enforced all over the country.
/ Women who are for suffrage, she
said, are trying to thwart the will Of
the people.
Suffragists. she said. take delight In
! 'poking fun" at the South, which
they declare. needs suffrage because
its laws are obsolete.
Woman's suffrage, she declared, will
cost the United States $4,000, 900 a
year.
The greatest enemy to socialism
declared the speaker is the family
and woman's suffrage goes hand in
hand with socialism. was her charge.
! 1t blots out the idea she said, that
man and wife are interdependen,
and makes them Independent OF each
other.

should come into her own say thai

| This Miss Rowe vigorously denied

to the wifehood and motherhood OF
the country.
III the young men who went &c
France were good enough to die for
the women Of America. they are good
enough to vote for them" were hel
parting words.
Miss Rowe la said to be one of the
most prominent anti-suffrage cam
paigners in the country. She has de.
livered addresses before the legisIa
lures of Maryland. New Jersey, Texa.
and Connecticut. She is associate
editor OF The Woman Patriot. an anti
suffrage weekly published in Wash
