A number of prominent citizens of
Boston, who have for long time been
considering the question of how best to
go TO work 10 practically and lastingly
benefit the evicted tenants of Ireland,
have united upon plan for carrying

in one of the poorest districts a factory
in which evicted tenants could find en-
ployment. II is proposed therefore TO
incorporate a stock company, selling
the shares in all parts of the United
States where natives of Ireland or
friends of lreland's cause reside, TO buy
them.
