FEMALE EMIGRANTS FOR AUSTRALIA.
Perth, August 31.
A business woman, who, in view of the personal attacks made on other critics perferred her name to be kept from publication, describes the conditions on the voyage of the Grama, on which she was a passenger. The woman states that among a large number of female immigrants destined for domestic service in Australia there were about 50 whose conduct would pollute any Australian home. They were bereft of all ideas of decency, she continued. They appeared on deck and around the cabins with almost no clothing. Often they were found ironing clothes clad only in trunks, while the stewards walked in and out of the cabins attending to their duties.
