IMIGRATION FROM EUROPE TO BE
DISTRIBUTED HEREAFTER.
New York Not Only Important Dock
City for Ocean Liners Now.
; Philadelphia, Oct 28 With the sail
ing of the big twin-screw liner,- Graf
Walderses from . Hamburg today,
bound for this port, another Import
ant direct steamship line between
Philadelphia and Europe becomes an
accomplished fact ' The Hamburg
American line will operate the new
passenger service, and, besides the
Graf Waldersee, two other big liners,
the Prlnz Adelbert and the Prlnz Os
kar, will make regular trips. The en
trance of the Hamburg-American com
pany into the Philadelphia trade Indi
cates that the great transatlantic lines
are beginning to realize that New York
is not the only city "on the map in
America. Steamship men believe that
the tendency henceforth will be to
ward adding new 'services to Boston,
Philadelphia and South Atlantic and
possibly gulf ports, rather than con
centrating the entire transatlantic bus
iness In New York. The North Ger
man Lloyd company and North Ger
many will meet Its new competition
by adding two, more larger vessels,
the Chemnitz and the Cassel, to the
fleet of four ships already running to
this port , :
- Philadelphia's proposed ; thirty-five
foot channel and modern dock system
Is expected to result in a considerable
future increase In the exports and
Imports and passenger traffic of this
sort. The Graf Waldersee Is bringing
over a large number of passengers on
its maiden trip to Philadelphia, a
While New York will doubtless con
tinue to command the largest and the
swiftest of the transatlantic liners,
much of the passenger traffic of the
future, especially of the third class,
will be diverted to this city and South
Atlantic ports. President Taft and, the
government officials will ubo their in
fluence to bring this about In order
that Immigration from Europe, instead
of congesting in the slums of New
York, may be diverted to the agricul
tural regions where It is needed.

Industrial Peace Sought by Labor

Washington, Oct. 28 An Important
meeting of the Foundation for the
promotion of Industrial Peace was
convened today, with Jurists, educa
tors, manufacturer and labor' leaders

Mitchell, the labor leader, is secretary
of the organization.
; ; Chief among the matters under dls
cnsiion are the formulation of bylaws
anf the advisability of using, a por
tion1' of the income as a prize for es
says on the best methods of bringing
about peace In industrial pursuits. -
It is understood that some of the
labor leaders will ask the organiza
tion to pass resolutions of censure on
the actions of those who, without In
vestigation or deliberation, Immediate
ly sought to produce the impression
that organized labor was responsible
for the destruction of the plant of the
Los Angeles Times. While condemning
those responsible for the tragedy, la
bor leaders say that such unfounded
statements as those of Gen. Otis and
others tend to create bitterness and
strife land render Industrial peace
impossible.
"The basis of Industrial! peace," said'
John Mitchell, "must be an agreement
between the employers and the em
ployes. They must be taught to make
and keep agreements themselves, and
I think the whole tendency of indus
trial affairs Is toward that end now."
