"The Trade Union Woman"

"Now is the time to build, to
repair, to initiate, so we may obviate the necessity for expedients."
The writer shows that efforts ought to be directed along seven lines,
and the work on these seven lines should be closely cooerdinated.
1. _Transportation_. The safe transportation of admitted aliens to
their destination.
2. _Employment_. Security of employment, and adequate cooerdinated,
regulated labor-market organization.
3. _Standards of living_. Making it possible for the immigrant
to adopt and maintain better standards of living, by removal of
discriminations in localities, housing and sanitation, and by
preventing overcrowding.
4. _Savings_. Information regarding savings banks, loan funds,
agricultural colonies, and legislation regarding the same.
5. _Education_. Reduction of illiteracy, the teaching of civics, and
extension of opportunity of education and industrial training.
6. _Citizenship_. Higher and simpler naturalization requirements, and
processes, and placing the legal status of the alien upon a just and
consistent foundation.
