 Like German Labor.
 President Kaufman and Superintendent John Montgomery of the Montgomery Cordage company are enthusiastic about German labor. The two officials have been successful in securing enough of these to carry on the cordage business that heretofore was largely operated by state criminals.
 About one week ago one of the Ger mans employed by the company struck montgomery without a position and with no acquaintance with the English Ian guage. He was discovered by an off, cial of the company and put to work. The management recognizing in their em- ploye dilligent hustler and thoroughly attentive workman, put him in one of their residences in North Montgomery, gave him absolute charge of large piece of land for gardening purposes and at tended to his wants as to any stranded friend.
 The German became so enthused over his good luck that he volunteered to bring some more of his companions to this city should the cordage officials care to have them. Accepting the offer as an experi- ment the company consented to the steps of their new empower, and soon had six teen Germans in their midst with the wives of four of them.
 The Germans since being employed by the company have taken every interest in the business, are turning out good work and are strictly attentive to their work, exerting to the fullest degree the ,l~. z-Ix.
 The immigrants are residing in two of the companys houses near the works the wives of the four are cooking the meals and keeping the houses in order and the entire force of them devote all of their spare time in cultivating the land for garden purposes. They are prov ing to be decidedly thrifty and industrious and above all are highly satisfield with their positions. They have formed, un- consciously. a sort of ideal community, and are improving their lands and get ting new experience in American ways every day.
 One of the chief compliments that the management can boast of at the hands of the Germans is the compliment paid them by the willingness of the immi- grants to get other Germans here should the company desire them. With this end in view they are at preesnt controlling seventeen other Germans who are anx- ious to come to Montgomery as soon as the officials are in need of their services
 Superintendent Montgomery. in speak ing of these immigrants. says: They are thrifty and industrious, perfectly willing to work, and they conscientiously discharge all duties assigned them. They make a very pleasant contrast to the surly convcts who were formerly em- ployed We are endeavoring to please them in every way possible, and are
