WILL STUDY PADRONIsM.
Missionary Contc, of boston, on a
Visit to This city.

Gaitano Conte, young Italian mis-
sionary, arrived in New York from Bos-
ton to-day, and during his stay of
week he will look into the subject
OF padronism. as revealed by THE
Evening World" some time ago.
Mr.. Conte is member of the Boston
Association for Protecting Italian
Workmen. an association which num-
bers among its members some of the
most prominent men in the Hub.
In circular which the Association
aptly describes matters just as The
Evening World' portrayed them:

residents, most Of whom are peasants from the

their number, who as padrones. or bosses. OBJ

the Transmission Of their savings To Italy. These
padrones and bankers often in league with
each other. E1tortionate rates Of transmission
have constantly been demanded. and in one year
several Italian bankers defaulted to the extent
OF 800, 900
the padrones have sometimes dismissed laborers
before the completion Of their work, in order to
replace them with new ones from whom further
commissions could be demanded, and have some
times refused payment for the last few days
labor. Moreover. the psdrones have lodged the
laborers in miserable, crowded shanties. and hay e
much higher than the market rates has been
, charged. This sum has often been deducted from
their wages, whether they accepted the accommo-
datons and provisions or not, The fact that the
laborers usually know only few words OF Eng
fish has made 1T easy for tho psdrones to practise
simple minded, economical people, temperate in
their habits, and capable. under guidance. OF be-
