Gaitano Conte, a young italian mis-

Mr.. Conte is a member of the Boston

the padrones have sometimes dismissed lsborers
before the completion OF their work. In order to
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 shsnties, and have
provided them with poor food. for which a sum
much higher than the market rates has been
charged This sum has often been deducted from
their wages, whether they accepted the sccommo'
dations and provisions or not. The fact that the
laborers usually know only a few words OF Eng
iish has made 1t easy for the padrones to practise
gross deception Most of the laborers are honest

their habits, and capable. under guidance. OF be
coming good citizens.
