Italian Ambassador to the United
States, closed his tour of inspection in
The South at New Orleans. He will
make a report 10 his Government with
in six weeks, recommending that Ital-
ian immigrants come to the Southern
States. He will recommend to his
Government that it will be for the
good of his countrymen that fewer go
to the Northern cities and more come
to the Southern fields. He will sug-
gest and recommend that direct steam
ship lines be established between Ital-
ian ports and the gulf ports of the
United States. viz: Orleans, Gal
weston and Mobile, to carry these i'm
migrants direct. He will recommend
that his countrymen come to the Unit
ed States to become American citizens
and to own their homes and their land
He will recommend agricultural pur-
suits as best adapted for them, and
suggest that they come to the States
where farms can be secured cheap
rather than eongregating in large
cities. rFf.T.R rFF~ ~-r.rt .err

the Republic Iron and Steel Company
demanding an allotment of rails fol

Of the dissatisfaction on account OF

Steel Company early in the. year. A
struggle will now begin for the Pan
ANA railway contracts, and the disso-

1t will also threaten the existence of
the billet pool, the structural rail
agreement and the steel plate pool. II
