Pag* 10 The Southern Israelite PROBLEM OF IMMIGRANTS’ EMPLOYMENT DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL CONFERENCE New York City:—“No English—No Job”, is the policy adopted by many manufacturers, said Robert C. Deny ing, Director, Division of Adult Edu cation, Connecticut State Board of Education, at an Adult Immigrant Education Conference held under the auspices of the National Council of Jewish Women at the Hotel Astor on March 28th. "Employers engaging foreign born men in their industries insist that the men know English,” said Mr. Deming, "and one important manufacturer threatened to move his industry to another city unless the Board of Education supplied teachers and classes for their foreign born em ployees.” At this third Regional Conference on adult alien education conducted in New York City by the Department of Immigrant Aid of the National Council of Jewish W’omen, representa tives from twenty-eight cities in the States of Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland attended. The day’s session was ad dressed by specialists in the field of adult education and naturalization. “In the last four years, through the efforts of Councils of Jewish Wo men in many cities of the United States”, stated Mrs. Maurice Gold man, National Chairman of the De partment, in opening the Conference, “the number of foreign born women enrolled in the local classes formed by the National Council of Jewish Women, increased from 5,000 to 12,- 000 students. These classes are con ducted in co-operation with Boards of Education throughout the country.” That the increase in the fee for naturalization should be brought to the attention of all aliens, was urged by Mr. Fruchter, who stated that the present fee of $1.00 for securing first papers will be increased to $5.00 after July 1, 1929. At the afternoon session presided over by Miss Fiorina Lasker, Vice Chairman of the Department of Im migrant Aid, plans were made to ex pand the work of organizing English classes in districts which required in tensive effort. A plan for financing the organization of more classes in Westchester and Nassau Counties was adopted by the delegates.
