other SIC a week. To show the
diversity Of occupations, one is en-
ployed in the Wheeling & Lake Erie
railroad shops, another in the Pope
Motor Car works, another in the
American Can company, another In
the Gendron Wheel company. These
men had been in the United States
only a few weeks at the time they
were sent to Toledo by the removal
Office.
In Omaha. Neb., men sent away
from New York city by the office are
now working as upholsterers. plas-
terers, butchers, carpenters. tailors
and as mechanics in the Union Pacific
railroad shops, at wages ranging from
SIS to $25 week.
In short, estimating the average
earnings of men sent away by the
removal office at $500 per annum,
which is far from a high figure, it
may be said that they are earning
$8,000,000 per annum. which Is no
mean addition to the industrial wealth
of the country, when the fact is borne
in mind that the great bulk Of those
earning this amount came to this
country as helpless foreigners.
A recent investigation by agents OF
the office showed these facts: Six
men sent to Columbus. Ohio, had
savings in banks ranging from SIS to
$500, and aggregating 1850. notwith.
standing the fact that. three of them
were sending money home to Russia
and two Of them had brought their
families from there. OF nine men sent
to Nashville, Tenn. three have their
own stores already. Two carpenters
sent to Minneapolis have savings OF
$500 and $500, respectively, and one
shoemaker sent there owns his own
house. A Pittsburg maehinist Is earn
ing $40 week; another $4 a day.
Three of the four have bank accounts
ranging from $500 to $500. OF those
sent to Rochester. six have purchased
houses and others have bank accounts
as high as $500. Twenty-nine men
sent to that city have aggregate bank
savings and holdings in real estate
amounting to $4,000.
1t must be borne In mind that none
Of these men, when sent away, had
employment of any kind in New York.
Every one was out of a job when
sent. It entails more responsibility
than the removal Office is willing to
assume to take man ont OF paying
Job here and send him elsewhere,
where he may or may not succeed.
The bulk OF the men whose cases are
cited above came here as immigrants
many of them destitute.

that 1t was sent with the compliments
Of one of the officials Of the road.
"Sure enough, 1t was an annual pass

Just then caught a glimpse of

SPLENDID WORK OF A NEW YORK

Congestion In Cities Relieved BY
Sending Out the Russian Jews
into Places Where They
Are Needed.

The immigrants are pouring into
this country in ever increasing num-
bers, and there is always a tendency
on their part to herd in the large
cities, especially New York. This is
true especially of the Russian Jews,
who. because Of the prosecutions in
the czar's dominions, are fiocking to
this country. To correct this over
crowding an industrial removal office
has been established in New York
city, which is doing a remarkable
work about which the general public
knows little OF nothing. The office
was started a little over five years
ago and since that time it has sent
away from this city 29,41S persons.

And hour BY hour he trusts his soul 70
the God whom he never saw.
And hour by hour his life depends on the
care Of the other man
Who, scanning the track where It slopes

Swiftly the miles go fitting away as the

And bravely he labors as best he may

And If dangers rise while his eyes are

He must trust to the skill and the care
Of him who watches beside him

He may not sit with his arms at rest and
watch for the danger sign.
He may only hope that they do their best

Hour by hour his work is done and hour

Depends on the care and the call Of one

The hiss Of steam is the sweetest song
