FROM NEW YORK 81.
Where the Kansas Harvest
Hands Came From.

Reports just completed by the To-
peka free employment agency show
that there were sent out from Topeka
for the wheat harvest 81 men who gave
their residence as New york city. AS
practically all of the New Workers
came direct to Topeka. being sent here
by the free employment agent of New
York city. it is safe to say that 81 rep
resents just about the total number of
metropolitan harvest hands who set
forth to labor in the Kansas wheat
harvest.
There were in addition So men sent
out from here who registered from the
states of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
New York and the New England
states
Four foreigners also reported to To-
peka for work. and were sent to the
harvest fields They We're Jos; Met.
colsa, of Ajrsum, Austria; H. kelhe, of
Manchester England; F. Shadd, of
Aberdeen, Scotland, and L. Diment, of
Liverpool, England.
The numerical showing made by New
York CITY. in view of the great amount
of talking which has been done, indi-
Gates that New Workers are gifted in
the art of language. Especially might
be mentioned a man who passed him
self off in ST. Louis as Fred INITIAL.
and whose picture and pathetic story
were played up in the newspapers there
for several columns of abuse of Kan-
sas. There seems to have been no such
man as Fred INITIAL. but there is one
who gave his name here as Fred Nut
tell Wilkerson, and he is probably the
ona.
Out of the 66s men sent out to the
wheat harvest by Topeka, 100 were res
idents of this city and ATS were stran-
of Kansas and other states to be as
signed to duty. Chicago sent a large
number. and so did Missouri. A few
came from Denver and points in the
west.
