PROBE STARTED
IN IMMIGRATION
Reorganization of Bureau
May Follow Intensive
Investigation.

Although emphatic denial was
made in the Department of Labor
yesterday concerning friction be-
tween immigration officials. it is
that there has been much
shifting of authority and that an
intensive investigation is being con-
Quoted.
Alfred Hampton, Assistant Com
missioner of immigration; II. B.
Collins, assistant solicitor of the
Department of Labor. and Hugh
Reid. private secretary to Louis F.
Post. Assistant Secretary of Labor.
have been appointed as an advisory
committee to recommend details of
readjustmcnt in the administration
in the Bureau OF immigration.
Lay HItches to Mail Service.
1T has been claimed that one of
the chief causes of trouble in the
Bureau OF immigration has been
due to the delay of mail commu-
nications. Due to the fact that mail
is not handled eXpeditiously. there
have been many bitches between
the bureau here and ports of i'm
migration.
Another cause Of disorEanization
has been the freedom of access to
the bureau during working hours
by unauthorized persons.
These two causes have developed
alleged ineficienCy in the bureau.
according to Louis +. Post
Assistant Secretary of Labor, who
has been at the head of the de-
partment during William B. Will
sons absence. He says there also
has been insufiCiency of funds and
employees.
Probe to Be speeded.
The committee that has been ap-
pointed will have the utmost free
dom in conducting their investiga-
tons, with haste the only stipula-
tiOn.
Information that the probing COM
mittee uncOvers or suggestions for
improvements will be made i'm
mediately upon discovery to Louis
+. Post, r. B. Mahaney, solicitor
for the Department of Labor. and
Anthony Caminetti. the commits
sioner general of immigration.

ENGLISH WOMEN
WANTLEAGUE
Want Relationship Between
Nations to Be Real,
Living Thing"
BY CONSTANCE DRExEL.


In England many patriotic women
are giving much thought as to how
the league Of nations can be made
a real. living thing Miss Maude
ROyden, LOndOn's famous woman
preacher, has this to say on the
subject: 4 am persuaded that
some one has got to get into this
thing-this shadow that we call the
league Of nations'-who has not
been trained in the old ways. Not
necessarily some one better, some
one wiser or some one stronger;
Just some one who has not trampled
his rut so deep that he can't see
over the top Of it. Women, in short.
There is just one thing to
be said for women in this matter.
and that is that they have none of
the traditions which make it diff
cult for men to see sense"
