WELCOMING THE IMMIGRANT.
By Mrs. Nathaniel E. Harris Nation
al President Council of Jewish
Women.
Tossed for five years by the gales
of war sick of hardships and horror
hundreds of immigrant women and
girls are finding a haven in America
today and a cordial welcome and help-
ing hand at every port; at the end of
their long journeys over land and sea.
At Seattle and San Francisco where
Russian refugees who have struggles
through Vladivostok and Yokoahoma
arrive; at Ellis Island Boston Phila-
delphia and Baltimore there are agents
of a great national organization of
Jewish women who advise guide
clothe and shelter the immigrant
woman and teach her by their kind-
nest that America is a friendly land
that shelters and offers its plenty to
those who come in good faith to be-
come part of America and to share its
life.
Although all through war immi-
grant women arrived in considerable
numbers at American seaports the
end of the war brought a flood of ar-
rivals and a large number of women
and girls with whom the National
Council of Jewish Women through
its department of Immigrant Aid was
chiefly concerned and it is to meet
this increasing need for Immigrant
Aid and Americanization work that
the Council of Jewish Women is now
conducting a national drive for funds.
There were starved and frightened
refugees sweethearts and wives of
soldiers families from every country
adventuring into a new land'.
When an immigrant arrives at an
American port the Council of Jewish
Womens' port worker is on hand to
greet her. During the war when Ellis
Island was a great interment camp
the Council of Jewish Women was the
only women's organization out of sixty
engaged in welfare work at this place
that was permitted to do immigrant
work on the Island.
Our immigrant aid work is construc-
tive and non-sectarian. Americaniza-
tion work we feel must begin the day
of the immigrant's arrival in America
and we know of no better way to
begin that work than by welcoming
the stranger when he knocks at our
gates. Our workers meet every in-
coming boat. They take special in-
terest in the cases of women and
girls particularly those of Jewish
faith. They assist in locating relatives
give advice and cheer to those who
are detained by the immigration char-
ges render aid to those who are de-
tained in the port hospitals provide
clothing and shoes for those who come
in tatters and in general look after
every spiritual and physical need.
Through the Council's sections in 119
cities the immigrant is introduced
and helped to become a part of Am-
erican life wherever she may settle.
In my own city at Bradford there
is a watch repairer who has been in
America five years. He had left his
wife in Russia with two little ones
and after toiling ani saving after the
manner of all our worthy immigrants
he had saved up enough money to pay
for his family's passage to this coun-
try. War came before they could sail
and for eighteen months he heard
no word from them. A letter finally
arrived from Yokahoma stating that
the woman and her children had cross-
ed Siberia and after enduring unspeak-
able hardships had arrived in Yaka-
homa preparatory to sailing for New
York. The letter gave no more details
of time or place of arrival but the
Council's efficient machinery was set
in motion. Our Bradford section tele-
graphed to Seattle and San Francisco
and at both places workers were
ready to meet the woman and to assist
her. An immigrant aid worker met her
in Chicago arranged for her board at
a Kosher restaurant telegraphed her
husband and arranged for a reunion.
By this story it can be seen that the
Council's Immigrant Aid work spans
the continent a net work of service
and co-operation.
No holiday at Ellis Island or any
other immigrant receiving station
passes without special preparations by
the Council worker. Special food is
provided for Passover and the Coun-
cil co-operates in arranging for the
Seder. It arranges holiday festivals
for the Jewish immigrant Books and
toys a phonograph and records are
provided for those detained at Ellis
Island. When it was necessary to
clothe a large number of detained
women and children the council
bought sewing machines and mater-
ials and taught the women how to op-
erate the machines and make their
own clothing.
The port workers' duties are varied
indeed. For instance at Ellis Island
workers several days ago arranged
for the marriage of an American ex-
soldier and his English fiancee and a
uniformed soldier who had come from
Cheyenne Wyoming to meet the girl
he had fallen in love with in Bordeaux
all within twelve hours after the
couples arrived here. This little Inci-
dent is all in a days' work of the Coun-
