THE- EWISH CHRONICLE
Society Does Splendid Work
For Immigrants
The year hook of the Hebrew Shel-
tering and Immigrant Aid Society of
America, which was recently issued,
shows that the Employment Bureau of
that Society placed 3,360 immigrants
to work. Hundreds of these were plac-
ed outside of New York city. This is
an increase of nearly a thousand over
the previous year.
The problem of the Society's Em-
ployment is peculiar and entirely differ-
ent from any other bureau whose ob-
ject it is to secure employment for
skilled and unskilled workers. There
are many skilled and unskilled immi-
grants whom the Bureau has been called
upon to place. They were formerly
merchants, Hebrew teachers, Schochets
and students. As the immigrants that
the Bureau place are those that cannot
speak the language of the country, this
condition must he met. They learn
to do ,so in a remarkably short time.
The Sabbath observer is another class
of immigrants who are placed to work
by the society with remarkable success.
The society realizes the necessity of
placing those who desire to observe
the Sabbath in positions where they are
able to do so. As a result many con-
cerns in New York make exceptions in
cases of those who desire to observe
the Sabbath.
It is interesting to learn that many
of those who were placed by the Bu-
reau are Sephardic Jews, who speak
tries are not able to supply their needs
and they look to the production • of the
American and Canadian farms.
The eyes of the world are upon the
farmer, are looking for and demanding
more food stuffs. The question of the
hour is How to feed the nations of the
world. Scientific farming combined with
modern methods of business efficiency
solves the problem. Recognizing this
fact this and all governments are stimu-
lating, supporting and urging increased
acreage and intensive production.
The law of supply and .iemand will
determine the decision of this war. The
supply is limited.

The vital issue in this world crisis large this year on account of the high

Arabic, Greek, Spanish and sometimes
French, but not Yiddish. They are a
class of industrious workers, and
through the experience which the society
has gained in the past, it has been able
to place them in profitable positions,
even though they speak a language that
is rare here.
In speaking of immigrants who were
thus placed to work, the society takes
pride in saying in its report that it
takes hold of the immigrant immediate-
ly upon his arrival and enables him to
became a self-supporting and respect-
able member of the community in the
speediest possible time. The services
rendered are free of charge both to
employer and employee.
