"You could never get an American laborer TO come
that an yet the food Is good and wholesome
the people thrive upon H. and the manager OF the Cook
ing Depot. as 1t is called makes neat profit on the
business 1t is not true that where low
days work is less We have found that those people
whom employ in works at.Glassow and Vienna Mt
exceedingly low wages do much work as our men here
than wnom aborers better paid. On one occasion
we bought complicated and expensive machine for
grinding needles. It worked to perfection, AMI
thought had at last found great aborsaver But It
required skilled mechanics to work 1t ami and

worked for almost nothing and found that the
mackne did not pay.
NO we are not afraid OF the tarif We ready for
any change that comes"
