are only eight men employed there at present.

all that our laborers will get. At that price I
can put 10000 men at work In a month. The
Italian labor agencies have offered us more
men than We shall need at 81, rs a day. but we
have refused TO take them for two reasons:
First, we want only the best men. and therefore
we prefer 10 pay the higher rate. Secondly,
our contract requires that men shall be en-
ployed at the prevailing rate of wages, and. In
order TO DO on the safe side. we prefer 10 inter-
