A. IRVING hAllOWEll
On Givino Aid to Travellers

IMMIGRATION of thousands of foreign
i ers. many of whom know nothing of the
English language, presents growing prop
lem to the various organizations pahuru
together to make America safe and friendly
for those who travel
A. Irving Tallowcll. executive secretary
of the branch here of the Travellers Ala
Society. made this statement in dlscussihe
tho difficulties of the workers.
''The Travellers Aid is but one link in the
chain of societies that cooperate tor tne
good of the community and humanity, Sald
Mr.. Halowcll. Strangers coming to the
city. most particularly Immigrants, heeu
help. They could, OF course ask any ON, IHe
for information and in many instances TINS
is reliable, but it is the exception that we
cndeavor to prevent.
Hundreds of persons come under the oD,
spryation of the workers each week; ana
each is an individual with problem.
Try to Protect Girls
Some are bcwlldercd strangers seeking
employment or looking for relatives ana
friends. some are runawnyS and others are
aged persons or very little children max
ing q journey alone. The bewildcr"d glrl
or woman is easy prey for those VINO seek
just that. If the situation is one that IN"
workers cannot straiGhtcn out, they put 1t IN
the hands Of the proper authorities.
Some travellers, of course. ask many
ridiculous questions, together with the more
serious ones For instance. women passing
through the city have been known 10 ask
whore they might have n pair of gloves
cleaned and similar trivial questions.
II would say that the immigrant Is pos.
sibly our biggest problem. Most of the
workers speak at least ono foreign tongue
and the service they render at the docks
is valuable.
Just picture family of Poles or Rus
slams. poor and forlorn, as they step off
the boat at Philadelphia. when they hav"
notified relatives that they would arrive at
New York Such things happen frequently
Since January |. thirteen boats have
docked at this port, bringing 10000 i'm
migrants. The workers aiding the travellers
have been on the job and linked the ndi.
vidual with the organization that will help
him most. Boarding houses where respect
able lodgings can be obtained are often
located.
Sometimes the workers are required AZ n
wedding ceremony when an Italian girl, for
instance, arrives and her tianCe meets her,
but has forgotten 10 bring a witness.
IF stranger requires medical attention,
the workers see thnt he gets it, and in the
meantime look up fricnds and relatives for
him.
