DISTRIBUTING Italian Immigrants.

Ono of the important factors in our
immigration problem has been the
tendency of the newcomers to herd to-
gether in our great cities and particu-
larly in New York where they land.
This has been especially true of the
Italians who have been coming over
in rapidly increasing numbers in the
past few years. They are now COM
ing at the rate of 25O.GO0 IL year and
most of them persist III settling down
in the large and already overcrowded
cities. An attempt to solve this prob
lem. or at least to improve this condi-
ton of things. now comes from an I'M
expected quarter, namely the Italian
government itself.
DR.. Adolfo Rossi, Italian royal COM
missioner of immigration, has recently
arrived in this country on special
mission from King Victor Emmanuel,
to investigate the condition of his
countrymen and women newly come
hither to seek betterment of their for
tunes, to prevent, as lar as possible.
their abuse by the padrone system, and
to ascertain the proper and most eff
fective means for keeping Italian emf
grafton within natural bounds. He
has already spent some time on Ellis
Island, investigating conditions there.
and will visit Chicago. Denver and
ether cities for material on which to
base a report to his government.
His countrymen, he says, find their
best opportunities here, where they are
justly treated, and can earn many
times as much as at home, for instance,
where they get only from two to three
francs day. or from not quite forty
to not quite sixty cents. for ordinary
labor, which here easily commands s1.50
to s1.75. In case they learn a trade
they do much better. He says a
papers of New York for 1000 Italian
laborers. and from another state came
call for 500. That, he says, is what
brings the Italians over. The difficulty
at present, he finds, is in the lack of
proper methods for distributing these
laborcrs where they are most needed
as sending farmers to agricultural
regions 5nd mechanics where there is
demand for skilled labor. This, of
course, the Italian government cannot
do. nor can our own: but, by CO.
operating with benevolent societies in
New York and other cities he hopes to
see this evil remedied by the establish
ment of free labor bureaus

the devoted work of members of that
chapter that Augusta is indebted for
another memorial tablet-one placed on
the last remaining barrack building OF
old Fort Western built in 1724 and now

double reason to he proud of the work
