Reception of immigrants in the Argentine Republic.
THE IMMIGRANT INSPECTION AND ITS REASON
Each ship that arrives in the country bringing immigrants, 2nd. and
3rd. class passengers, according to Law, is visited and inspected by a
Commission comprising the Immigration Inspector, Board of Health doctor
and Coast Guard officer, who examine the hygiene and healthiness of
the ship, accommodation, provisioning during the voyage, supply of
medicines, and as to whether a doctor or chemist is carried; if or no a
greater number of passengers were carried than the accommodation allows;
if the measurements of the deck, sparedeck and of the berths are in
accordance with the Law; if there is sufficient ventilation, supply of
firehose and cooking utensils, life belts and life boats; if there are
passengers with contagious diseases; if passengers have been embarqued
at ports where there is an epidemic; if any part of the cargo is
inflamable or unhealthy, and, finally, receive any protest of the
passengers of bad treatment and obtain from the Captain the documents
he should deliver, showing cognoscence of the Immigration Law, and any
incidents that have happened on the voyage. This is done in the interest
of the immigrants.
RECEIVING THE IMMIGRANTS
The immigrants are carefully questioned and classified to find out their
trades and means, note being taken of those who do not wish to come
under the Immigration Law, their passports then being stamped «passenger
only», as also are stamped «former resident» the passports of those who
come under that heading.
Once the passports revised by the officials, those immigrants admited
under the Law, are handed over to the receiving officials of the
Immigrants Hotel who attend to them, placing them in trams, which take
them to the Hotel. The baggage is taken on trucks to the same place by
the Hotel porters.
[Illustration: Immigrants Hotel in Buenos Aires
Group of immigrants]
FREE LODGING
Arriving at the Hotel, the names of the immigrants are entered in the
Hotel register and they are given a lodging ticket valid for five
days, which can be prolonged in case of sickness. The immigrants are
comfortably lodged, the women and children in separate rooms to the
men. The baggage is taken by the Hotel porters to a deposit where it
is revised by the Custom House Officers, specially.
FREE BOARD
The rations given to the immigrants are of the best, and in the
following proportions per day, per adult: meat 600 grams, bread 500
grams, potatoes, carrots or cabbage (alternately) 150; rice, maccaroni,
or beans (alternately) 100; sugar 25 and coffee 10 grams; milk is given
to the children. The food is cooked by steam and is served by the Hotel
attendants in a large dining room.
MEDICAL ATTENDANCE
There is an Infirmary in the Hotel where patients are carefully
attended; children as well as adults can be vaccinated. There is a
staff of doctors, students, sicknurses, and a chemist's fully equiped
with medicines and disinfectants.
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT OFFICE
On arrival, the immigrants are questioned as to what part of the country
they wish to go, and are offered work by the Employment Office, in
accordance with the inquiries for workmen received, full information of
which, of wages paid and other conditions are carefully entered up in
books kept for that purpose. If there are no enquiries for workmen in
the particular trade of an immigrant looking for employment, this
Office undertakes to find him work by either directing him to Works and
Factories or by telegraphing enquiries to the Interior. Immigrants are
warned, should they wish to go to any part of the country where there is
no opening for one in their trade.
No persuasion is used to induce immigrants to go to any particular part
of the country, it is left to them to decide.
[Illustration: Immigrants Hotel in Buenos Aires
Group of immigrants]
FORWARDING AND RECEIVING FREE
The immigrants placed up country or who wish to join their relations,
are taken care of by forwarding Agents who remit their luggage properly
labeled, note down the immigrants so forwarded, provide them with
tickets and see them on to the train or river steamers.
ARRIVING AT THE PROVINCES AND POINTS OF DESTINATION
The immigrants who go to the Provinces or National Territories to be
settled, are met on arrival of the train by the Secretary of the Branch
Office, boarded and lodged for ten days until they are settled or leave
for some fixed destination. If they should have to change trains, they
are looked after by this Official in the same way as in the Federal
Capital, from the arrival of one train until the departure of the one
in which they continue their journey.
POST AND TELEGRAPH OFFICE
For the better handing of the immigrants correspondence and in order
that the Head Office and National Employment Office can transmit without
delay, orders and instructions all over the Republic, there is a Post
and Telegraph Office in the Immigration Hotel.
STATISTICAL RETURNS
The four following returns, summarize the Argentine Immigration movement
from 1857 to 1903.
In those relating to the entry and nationality of immigrants, the
information corresponding to the years running from 1857 to 1903 is
given, and in those which refer to their trades and forwarding to the
interior, the information has been taken corresponding to the last
decade, this lapse of time being sufficiently demonstrative.
