200 Jewish women, who are American citizens, and whose husbands in Europe are unable to obtain admission to the United States, have held a meeting here at the building of the Hias (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society to decide upon measures to be taken in order to protest against the restrictions imposed by the American Consuls abroad, which, they contend, are in contradiction to the existing immigration laws. The meeting has decided to call upon Congressmen and Senators to intervene with the Government in order to obtain a relaxation of the present severe measures.
