Objects Of the Bureau.

Inc division OF Immigration u In
constant correspondence with the GOV
ernors Of states and their immigration
oflcials. The object Ia TO ascertain
where labor is wanted and where sst-
tiers are desired. Then the infogma-
ton division directs the immigrants
to the jobs and the settlementA. In
telligent representatives are to mingie
with the immigrants ON shipboard and
inform them as to chances for employ
ment and for acquiring farm land.
Mr.. Powderly states that his division
now has jobs waiting for approximate
" q quarter Of a million men, women
and children throughout the country.
There Is no lack OF word, he says, for
anybody who wants 10 WORK, ether
American or foreign import n the
foreigners must be imported they must
be distributed. 1t Ii simply a matter
Of distribution and assimilation or con-
Oentrat1on and BtaRnation.
This division Of information ostab-
nShed by Secretary Stratus II not to
merely aid In distributing immigrants.
II VIII furnish American worhingmen
as well as immigrants not only infor-
nation where work may be obtained,
but 1t will actually obtain for them a
promise Of employment before they
leave one part Of the country for an
other.
Organized labor In some quarters has
severely criticised Secretary Etraus for
the creation OF this 30 called free en-
ployment agency. These critics bold
that Mr.. Stratus IL not a friend to
union labor. They hold that the igno-
rant European immigrant VIII work
more cheaply than the Intelligent
American and therefore that the new
system Of distribution viii tend 20 cut
down the general scale Of wages. An
TO this point no doubt the divergence
Of opinion win be wide.
A fierce fight against the nsw move
ment is imminent In The Forthcoming
congress. Lined up alo1SaAds the ad-
ministration viii be many state gov
errors and local immigration oGncials
who are trying to get settlers 10 take
their unoccupied lands. The railroads
also Will have a hand IN the matter.
They want TO sell tickets and haul
produce. Also In line with the admin
igtration win be the various charitable
organizations In the great cities. On
the other hand win be those earnest
persons who hold that America h for
Americans and the-dsvfl take the rank
outsider.
The problem has several distinct
phases. II Il ethical, social and indus
trial Are we our brUtherT keepers Or
are We merely our brothsrS support
erS7 Something must be dons with the
Immigrants. They are here, and they
are coming by the million. From pres

Toronto, Feb. 9-A bill has been prepared and will be introduced to the legislature this session, providing for the sale of the present central pris- on property and the establishment of farm on large scale, for pris- oners who will be trained in the most advanced agriculture. This farm will be established about five miles outside of Toronto, but the prisoners in North Ontario will be employed in road making and other useful work. It is the intention of the government, as hinted in the speech from the throne, to abolish all kinds of prison labor now carried on at the Central prison, but when the time lies heavy on the prisoners hands in winter, light employment will be found for them.

 In some recent remarks in congress MT. Perkins said: "A job may help the man who gets it. but as general rule 1t harms the man who gets 1t for him. Civil service reform has not in all re spects worked beneficially, but for rep resentatives it has been an unmiXed blessing. It has made their lives hap pier and their tenure of office longer"
