Immigration Commissioner Makes a ReportWhich Contains Stories of Revolting Prac =

tices of Procurers of Women

Washington Dec IStorlcs of re-

volting

¬

practices of American anti foreign procurers of women for importa-

tion into the United States for immoral purposes are told In a report is-

sued today by the Immigration com-

mission

¬

The recommendations of thecommission contemplate a closerscrutiny of tho admission of alienwomen and renewed efforts to stampout the socalled white slave trafllc

In explanation of tho fact of layinghare to tho public the horrible detailsof discoveries by its agents tho com-mission

¬

says that the white slavetralllc Is tho most pitiful and thomost revolting phase of tho immigra-tion

¬

question This business has as-

sumed¬

largo proportions and It hasbeen exerting so evil an influenceupon the country that tim commissiondeclares It felt compelled to make athorough Investigation

Since the subject especially liableto sensational exploitation the reportsaYR It Is Important that the statement of the commission should dealwith undeniable facts which may form-a basis of reasonable legislative andadministrative action to lessen theevils

The inquiry covered New York Chi-cago

¬

San Francisco Seattle PortlandSalt Lake Ogden Butte Denver Buf-

falo¬

Boston and New Orleans No at ¬

tempt was made to investigate condi-tions

¬

in every Important city Butthe commission believes that enoughessences of women of different racesand nationalities and living under dif-

ferent¬

conditions has boon obtainedfrom localities sufficiently scattered touse tho report an a siitucient basis forlegislative and administrative action

The report deals with methods usedby men and women procurers to lurewomen into this country for immoralpurposesrhe methods differ asadopted In different countries In somecountries men and women In the buijijiess pLenJJclng Jnnoccut gfjJs ipjhjUnited States resort to proffers of at ¬

I

tractive positions and In many casesoffer themselves in marriage and fre-quently

¬

risk prosecution on charges ofbigamy In order to attain their desIres

Much of the evidence taken by the I

agents of the commission is given in i

proof of statements made in the re-port and there are also affidavits frompolice officers and letters from govern i

mont officials giving the character ofevidence on which the report has beenbased I

The report says concerning talk ofa great monopolistic corporationwhose business it Is to Import and oxploit theso unfortunate women

The commission has been unable tolearn 0 8 any such corporation and I

dons not believe In Its existenceIt Is stated however that persons

engaged In such Importing businessdoubtless have a wide acquaintanceamong themselves and in many In-

stances¬

they have rather close businesB relations one with another so asto prevent their victims from gettingout of their clutches before the have

I

realized the desired profits from theirbase ventures

Under the head of Recommenda-tions the commission says

Owing to the difference betweenAmerican and European regulationsregarding prostitution cooperationfor the suppression of the whiteslave traffic cannot be expected frommost of tho European nations only I

along certain lines Most Europeancountries are rigid In their regulationsregarding tho procuring for puposesof prostitution of minor girls or of anwoman by means of fraud and deceit

Women who are of ago howevermIl who enter tho business of theirown accord arc not interfered withFrom continental countries wherethese conditions exist practically nocooperation It is believed can be ex-pected

¬

to prevent professional prostlutes from sailing to the UnitedStates Such governments probablywould cooperate to prevent the seduc-tion

¬

of minors or tho fraudulent orforcible exportation or their womenIn tho main however tho UnitedStates government must rely upon itsown officials for the prevention of thistraffic

A number of suggestions of admlnMratlvo changes and moro rigid on ¬

forcement of existing regulations bythe department of commerce and hibor particularly by the bureau of 1mmigration and amendments of the im-migration act itself arc submitted bythe commission
