Washington.—Stories of revolting practices of American and foreign procurers of women for importation into the United States for immoral purposes are told in a report issued by the immigration commission. The recommendations of the commission contemplate a closer scrutiny into the admission of alien women and re¬ newed efforts to stamp out the so called "white slave traffic.” In explanation erf the act of laying bare to the public the details of dis¬ coveries by its agents, the commis¬ sion says that the "white slave traf¬ fic” is the most pitiful and the most revolting phase of the immigration question. This business has assumed large proportions, and it has been ex¬ erting so evil an influence upon the country that the commission declares that It felt compelled to make it the ■ubject of a thorough investigation.
