THE PADRONE SYSTEM.

Vigorously Denounced by tho Inspector Of
migrants
WASHINGTON, May 1O.-Emigrant Inspec-
tor Conklinp, in his official report. made TO
the treasury department as to the violation
of the alien contract labor Law. among
other strong statements, says: "The Pa
drone system is the most damnable, out
raQsous and injurious TO American work
mon of any system that was ever practiced
in the United states, and that there ls no
denying the fact that IL exists in almost
every city in this country where there Is an
Italian colony" The report details how
Italian laborors are brought into the ooun-
try, coached and instructed on the journey
over so that when they arrive, by false
swearing, they evade the inspectors.
Conkling says railroad contractors need
not be so closely watched in the future in
regard to violation of the alien contract
labor law as the Italian banker and pad
rone." The former, in partnership with
the padrone. furnishes the money and
newly arrived Italians are supplied in hun
dreds to work on American railroads. to the
exclusion Of American workmen.
Tho report was called for by instructions
issued by Assistant Treasurer Spauldinp
Inst March. to look into the illegal landing
of Italian laborers. As o result OF two
months labor Inspector ConklinQ arrested
Phillippi Ch one. padrone, on whose pur-
jured affidavit ten Italians were landed
The case is regarded as an important ont
and will be tried in the New York stat,

Iinsry goods stolen from one Of the stores
in town. Gay threatened them and would

A Banquet to Eckels.

WASHINGTON, May l0.-At q banquet to-
night, given in honor of the new comp
troller of currency, Eckels. in speaking OF
the national banking system, said in part:
II believe upon every national bank ia
placed moral obligation to hold itself in
readiness to assist the officers Of the gov
ernment in every time of distress in main
tanning the nation's credit. am aware
that NO legal reason exists for such course
but having drawn 80 much of wealth and
power to themselves through the gene ous
dealings of the government with them, the
bankers of this country can i'll afford to
place themselves in the attitude of looking
with indiffei enoe upon the anxiety of tnan-
cial representatives of the treasury when
the financial integrity Of the government ii
Threatened. The proffe. Of help from then
at such time, spontaneous in its character
and patriotic in its motive, would disarn
thousands of itics who are loud in de-
nunciaton. and reconcile them to The sys
tem."
