How the Railways Handle
 the HordeS of Immigrants

Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Indiana. An evidence of the need of men in the steel industry alone is the fact that one steel corporation alone has orders on hand that will take 1t half a year to catch up with.
 That the distribution of these new corners over the country is a great problem is evidenced by the fact that during the six months that ended with August last 466,562 immigrants had been received at Ellis Island. This Is at the rate of almost million year, or one every thirty-three seconds of every day. The figures for the same six months of last year were 306.93S, and the gain was therefore. l59,624. or more than 52 per cent. This makes a high water mark in immigration. On the figures were as follows: April 4. 5,700; April. 5, $500; April 6. 4,600; April 12, e.200; April 13. 5.20o: May &. 6,900; May 9, 6,400; May 10, 7.500. It Is an astonishing thing to think that on one day (May 10) an immigrant was admitted, on the average, every II 1-2 seconds. Forty per cent of these in- migrants remained in New York city. and the rest flocked to various parts of the country It is not unusual for a big shipload of say 1000 immigrants to include aliens bound for every State In the Union. It is like a constant pro- cession of thousands upon thousands pouring in through the narrow gate way of New York harbor and spread ing out far and wide over the country. The great majority of the immigrants do not come here to settle haphaxard anywhere that fate may happen to lead them. It takes no small spirit of en- terprise. for the poor foreigner to em- bark for a strange country, tearing his old life out by the roots, and begin anew. and those that come here have generally, with great frugality, pro- vided ahead for themselves Hence thev have their exact destinations picked out in advance, and those des- tinations are in the places where la- bor is most needed, where the men are foo few for the work. The work of distributing this great army of work era falls to the railroads, which have devised elaborate machinery to handle this sneciai traffic. All the roads hav- inc terminals at New York have spe- cIsI representatives at Ellis Island, and there is a great immigrant clearing house there, where the incoming horde is sifted out and those aliens bound for different parts of the country assigned to the various roads.
 After the immigrant has secured his ticket he becomes virtually a ward of the railroad. The railroad then checks his baggage through to its destination and takes him by boat and car to the railroad depot free of charge. If there ia large number of immigrants go- ing to A particular section of the country the railroad will run a special train for them, but otherwise they go in a special immigrant ear" attached to a regular train.

cars" are not, as some people suppose,
 aL sort of cattle car, but are regular day
 coaches, little worn in the furnish
 inrs. perhaps; and not kept polished
 and brushed up to the spick-nnd-span
 point of the usual railroad car' but
 still probably more comfortable to ride
 in than anything the foreigners were
 able to secure in their native land. The
 ready distribution of immigrants
 throughout the country is made possi-
 ble through O special rate system of-
 fered by the railroads. Years ago the
 railroads discovered that the tmmi-
 grants had difficuity in paying the reg
 uiar fares, and hence special immi-'
 grants rates were established. These
 are called third class fares, and Ellis
 Island is the only place in the United
 States where they can be obtained.
 They average from IS to 20 per cent
 below the regular fares. Thus they
 are S3 less than the regular rate to
 Chicago and from $3 to $4 less to
 points beyond. To Pittsburg the reg
 ular rate Is $10.50. the immigrants
 rate, $s. Even in such a short haul as
 that to Philadelphia the immigrant has a reduction of 50 cents. As children
 under years old are carried free. and
 those between and l2 years for half
 fare, cases are on record where family of as many as thirteen persons was able to get to the Far West on four and a half full tickets.
 These special rates have accomplish ed much in taking the immigrants where they are most needed. The rail- roads realize that 1t is to their advari- tage to carry these workmen even at a sliced rate to points where labor Is in demand, because the newcomers greatly facilitate the development of the territory in which they are placed. nhAxr hnnAG many new acres under tillage or so many new looms and shuttles going. And as the prosperity of the railroads depends on the prosperity of their ter ritory, the advantage to them of en- couraging the settlement of the inmi- grants in the undeveloped places is considerable. In no other country in the world are these special rates for given. Indeed. in the Eu- ropean countries, where the railroad rates are fixed by the government and remain uniformly hard and fast. such an arrangement would be impossible. It is only under a flexible system of railroad rates, such as our own. that the railroads can make such a special arrangement, advantageous both to themselves and the country. Certain- ly immigration would serve no good purpose unless the aliens had some in- ducement to go farther than New York city.
 Many New Yorker has spent an in- hour watching the great crowds of immigrants at Ellis Island and listening to them chattering to the interpreters in strange tongues. Few of them speak only Engltsh. and they look so outlandish in their Old World clothes and with their clumsy bundles of inipedinenta that one wonders how they will ever become real Americans. But those that go into the interior of the country and enter an atmosphere that is Intensely American become as- similated and changed with remark able speed. On the contrary. those that remain in New York and huddie into the 1taliaD quarter. the Jewish

 This was a new complication. Foo Che's eyes opened wide; he understood. He must shoulder the blame for burn ing MT.

 Listen, you, Foo Cher' missed Shang Tang, shaking his fist in the face of
 his employe, you know what! You say you burn when Meester Morglan come. You noforset or you lose job!' The Ironing of the burned shirt was carefully completed by the willy Shang,
 who then wrapped 1t up In a neat pack
 age along with sundry collars and cuffs.

 Me no forget" mumbled Foo Che
 in a frighteend voice. Then he turned to his work again.
 That night when he lay down in his
 bunk he could not sleep. Close his eyes as he would, he could not shut out the vision of the enraged Mir Morgan and the burnt shirt.
 What would MT. Morgan do? That was the question. Foo Che knew that
 MT. Morgan was.a very powerful man,
 because on election days he wore Q
 high silk hat and ordered everybody
 about. People everywhere bowed to
 him and spoke of him as the very
 rich and the very great Mir. Morgan.
 Perhaps he was the emperor of Amer
 ica for all the poor Chinaman knew.
 If he was. then what? Surely the
 burned shirt would mean a heavy fine
 or imprisonment, or perhaps even be- heading. Foo Che shuddered. Once he got up with the determi-
 nation of fleeing forever from the laundry of Shang Tang. But he soon changed his mind. We'll he know that there was no chance of a poor , fugitive Chinaman ,eluding the grasp of the thousands Of policemen whom
 MT. Morgan would set upon his track. How he longed now for a laundry of his own. Then he would no longer be poor slave. He would be rich and respected like his employer, Shang Tang, and could blame the burned shirt upon one of his own employees.
 In the morning he went to work
 with throbbing heart, trembling fin gers and swollen eyes. Collars and

 Me wish me had laundly all my own. Me no like work Tor Snans Tang" sighed Foo Che under ms breath, as he took shirt from the top of the pile at his side and start ed to work upon it.
 You no iron that shirt! shouted shang Tang, thrusting his subordi- nate away. That shirt belong veliy rich. pertickler man, Meester Morgian. You no iron good. You burnee; you dirtee. Me iron him good"
 Foo Che retreated precipitately, like the poor, downtrodden dog that he was. Yeafs before he had come to America with the laudable ambition Of start ing A laundry himself, of making his pile and returning to China. But luck appeared to be always against him, and after many failures he had fin- ally drifted to the laundry Of Shang rang, where he worked like chat tel slave from morning till night for his keep and fifty cents week.
 After yielding up the shirt Of MT. Morean. Foo Che retired to another corner of the shop and busied himself with asserting aalotScf newly-washed linen.
 'Meester Morglan, he veliy peetic- Ter He come soon, pletty soon" cnat- tered Shang Tang. He want good iron shirt. Me doc good. You no good Chinese dog, Foo Che. You arr tee, you burnee."
 ehang Tang took new iron and applied himself with care to the shirt before him. He had worked upon 1t for perhaps too minutes when the sound of a terrible crash came through the open door from the street. Curious to know what had happened, the laun- dryman stretched his long neck across the counter and peered out the door. Right in front of his place a wagon load of vegetables had been overturned by a trolley car. The ludierous sight of the driver scrambling out of the mixup was too much for Shang. For a moment he ,chuckled and forgot Mir. Morgan's shirt.
 But only for a moment. Then he returned to his work. lifted his iron from where he had allowed it to rest and
 Ely Chinese godsv' he exclaimed. Have burn hole in shirt?'
 There, in front of him lay the full dress shirt of the very rich MT. Morgan, with the dark brown oval shaped impression of the hot iron up- on 1t.
 Shang Tang was astounded. Never before had he burned a shirt. He took it up, smelled 1t, felt 1t, held it up to the light, and then groaned. sfIim burnt. O-o-u-u! What Meester Morglan sayf'
 Meanwhile Foo Che gazed at his employer with sympathetic, wonder ing eyes. First Shang Tang frowned; then he knotted his brows; then he sat down to think 1t over, holding the burnt shirt in his hands and eyeing 1t dubiously.
 Suddenly a broad grin broke over his oily countenance. succeeded in a moment by a swAft, terrible glance at Foo Che. covering in the corner

The appropriations about $1,2Oo,00O and are
100000 more than last year Mr.. Hand states that.
while the receipts of the board have in most par

are several reasons why much larger sums were
needed this year. The increased appropriations

the money received through the United States
