Telephone 4762 Beekman. P. 0. Box 1261.] GENTLEIEN: Since 1900 this league has kept Americas door open to deserving immigrants. Without it. as Members of Congress and others have repeatedly asserted. laws would have been enacted to shut out yearly hundreds of thousands of immigrants whose labor Is so much needed for odr great Industries. In addition. this league has constantly advocated remedial legislation. such aq Federal distribution of immigrants. deportation of criminals. and other measures that would take away the evils of immigration while preserving its great blessings. We also do educational work by distributing our literature among libraries and debating societies. from whom we receive daily requests for pamphlets. In this way we are building up a public opinion In favor of liberal immigration among future citizens. Our league had fully carried its claims for support from all publicspirited citizens. and especially those who are connected with industries whose existence is made possible by the influx of alien unskilled labor that can not be replaced by the native element. In default of such support we will not be able to keep up our work. and the Immigration Restriction League. of Boston. will have the field to Itself.
