Special trains are often used to take
them to their work, the southwestern
railroads in particular shipping out
hundreds of them.
Their movements are like the move
ments of migratory birds. They go
south in the winter and north in the
summer.
In the south they work on the rail
roads of Texas. Louisiana, Mississippi
and Georgia. Fruit dealers, partic'
ularly those who handle bananas, use
hundreds of them.
In the north during the summers
they work on the railroads or in the
iron mines or steel works.
South Chicago is the destination OF
more of them than any n point. The
steel works there employ them.
Labor agents of the mines in Mich
igan and Wisconsin also secure many
of them. and other parties go north
west into Minnesota and the Dakotas
where they find railroad work.
