The general report of the comm ls
sion contains the reports of individu
al agonts, giving their experiences on
board steamships, where they posed
as steerage passengers. ..Summing up
one such trip, a woman agent of the
Immigration Commission, who was
herself miserably insulted and com
pelled to withstand privat-ions-w4vich
were repulsive to her nature, said:
"During the twelve days in the'
steerage I lived' in a disorder and ii?j
surroundings that offended every
sense. Only the fresh breeze,-Cfom ?
the sea overcame th^sk'kening'wdors. |
The. vile language of the men. the
screams ??f thf women defending
themselves, the crying of children,
wretched because of their surrouud"
ings, and practically every sound
that reached the ears irritated be
yond endurance. There was no sight
before which the eye did not prefer

surroundings and not be influcn ^d."
TtvFci ? nf ) i,
The woman agent had told of the
mingling of the crew with the wom
en of the steerage and said thai the
same conditions were true of the as
sociation of the men steerage pas
sengers with the women. Agents of
the Immigration Commission say
that on many of the steamships men
stewards and members of the
as well as male steerage passengers,
crowded I1U6 III* COIUI.IU'UIR'IIIS set I
aside for women and constantly pass
through the passageways of "such"
compartments so ihat no woman ln_|
the steerage "had a moment's pri
vacy."
The women agents of the commis
sion say that the women's compart
ments in which they were quartered
had but one entrance and exit, so
that there could be 110 good excuse
for the constant appearance of the
men. It is stated That during the
