THE IMMIGRATION INVESTIGA- TIONt The members of the Special Con gressional Committee have returned to Washington after an absence of "five weeks. With the j exception ot tbeir trip to California, they have almost concluded thpir labors. The work performed by the; committee lias at tractcd the greatest attention. It was found that there were a great many things radically wrong in the adminis tration of affairs at Castle Garden, an 1 it was shown conolusivel v that the Oommissinnes didjnnt insist op a care fil examination of the iniuiigrants who landed: and no better proof of their 7 failure to detect those who were likely to become a public, charge was offered than the statements of the officers of the New York charitable institutions, who swore that 70 per cent, of the pau pers were aliens. The committee hold that, had there been anything like a proper supervision exercised, fully one lulf of these people would not have ben allowed to land. Another strong point brought out by the committee is the business of inducing immigration. They proved that it wa done for'wo reasons: The first whs for th? gain that the men who sold tho steamship tickets would get out of the commission, and the seond and ; more' serious was that have in the pat few year engaged in th pr icti'ce of inducing men to come here so that there would be no longer anv reason to fear: strikes. This was done to n grwat extent in the coal fields and among large manufacturers in the cities It wa shown. too, that men from Bohemia an 1 Poland were crod ing American girls out of the factories, and women from the same countries were crowding American men out of the hitherto lucrative cigar trade. It 1ms been shown tint there is a whole pale swindling of the poof going on by th s that, bring thm here; that crimi nals are rent here to get rid of tben by Various Europe nations; an that fraud ulent naturalization has been going on. Mr Ford, chairman of the committee, gas. "We have fomd the immigration laws violated with impunity. boh in New York and Boston. We fonnd tbxt 75 per cent, of onr fishing crews fre aliens and still subjects of Great Britain. O'tr .iuvpRtigaii'in sbrws that. encouraged, stimulated pauper immi gration has had an effect on the in dustrial situation in this conntry to an appalling extent There is not law enough on the snbject, except as to contract labor, and that is not enforced. I favor a law making it compubory upon each intending immigrint to file a notice of his intention at least sixty days before his departure, thus ena bling our consular agents to ascertain whether be belongs to any of the in hibited classes. We have taken over 2,500 pages of typewritten testimony. T do not bfdievn that we shall make a report until the entire investigation is completed, an I we have more import ant testimony to take. What we have taken has convinced the committee that something positive must be done. Nearly all the ocean steamship com panies have been pushed to their full capacity in bringing over immigrants, and the great addition to our popula tion includes an element that is being imported for the express purpose of cheapening labor' At the present time there are over CONGRESS ON TRUSTS. ,uou, tiungarians, roies anct Italians The statesmen at Washington seem empioyea in ana anout me antnracite to be in trouble aUohw to at trust. minAO r T i-rk nna n Iff rt nt In I .
