compel them To do a lot OF work In the
course of pretty nearly every day in the
week, but there are mighty few who have
more 10 do and a more exasperating coll
lection OF things to do than one rather
small man who can be found any day In
the Erie Railroad station in jersey City.
II IL his job 20 steer TO their right course
all the immigrants who are sent out Ia
their new homes over that road. And II
you don't think there's work In that 60
over there and watch him when he's AT II.
The man who does this IL Edmund Gun
