Gaspinq For Settlers.

And yet far from the madding crowd
in these big cities virgin areas are SIM
ply gasping for settlers. In the south
ern states, beginning with Maryland
and Virginia and continuing through
the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama,
there IS constant Cry for more peo-
pie. more farmers. more laborers, more
mill hands. Labor skilled and unskill-
ed is wanted, and men are wanted to
settle on the unimprOved lands and
make them blossom productivity.
A similar condition obtains in the
southwestern states, though perhaps
not to Il like degree of urgency. South
ern Missouri. Arkansas. Louisiana,
Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
present splendid opportunities for set
tiers, particularly for. those who come
from the southern countries of Europe
and therefore will be acclimated the
moment they step off the train. 1t is a
well known fact that some of our
northwestern states Minnesota and
Wisconsin, for instance-have been
settled largely by immigrants from the
Scandinavian countries, who fancy q

Thus we have in New York such

than the pits into which they were
born at home. They produce large

grow up dirty, ignorant, deprayed and
utterly unfit for American citizenship.

no matter whether we want them or
not, until the laws are altered. 1t is
highly important movement. Now for
the first time the national government
has opened its eyes to the fact that
serious situation, not a scientific the
DRY, confronts us. This new creation
in Secretary Straus' department, au-
thorized by an act of the last congress,
is a step toward controlling that seri-
Gus situation.
Heretofore all our immigrants have
come into the country in a haphaZard,

Objects of the Bureau.

The division of immigration Is IN
constant correspondence with the gov
errors of states and their immigration
officials. The object is to ascertain
where labor is wanted and where set
tiers are desired. Then the Informal
ton division directs the immigrants
to the jobs and the settlements. In
teiIigent representatives are to mingle
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
ly quarter of a million men, women
and children throughout the country.
There is no lack of work, he says. for
anybody who wants to work. either
American or foreign import. If the
foreigners must be impO, ted they must
be distributed. 1t is simply matter
of distribution and assimilation or con-
centration and stagnation.

Organized labor in some quarters has
severely criticised Secretary Straus fol-
the creation of this so called free EN-
| plOyment agency. These critics hold
| that Mr.. Straus is not friend tt
union labor. They hold that the igno

more cheaply than the intelligent
| American and therefore that the new
| system of distribution will tend to GU
down the general scale of wages. A:
to this point no. doubt the divergence
of opinion will be wide
A fierce fight against the new move
ment is imminent in the forthcomin,
congress. Lined up alongside the ad
ministration will be many state gov
errors and local immigration officials
who are trying, to get settlers to TAX,
their unoccupied lands. The railroads

"HE latest phase of the immigra-
ton problem seems to be stir
ring up something OF hornets
nest. In some parts of the
country the forces of organized labor
are up in arms against the work of the
new division of Information in the de-
partment of commerce and labor. This
division is part of the bureau of i'm
migration. The man in charge of it IS
Terence V. Powderly, than whom no
individual in labor circles is better
known throughout the world.
1t seems somewhat anomalous that
organized labor should oppose Il move
ment officially headed by the man who
for fourteen years was grand master
workman Of the Knights of Labor, the
biggest and most powerful OrganiZa-
ton of workingmen ever formed on
the globe. With more than u million
members the Knights of Labor force

+ Why, then, is this thus?
Mr.. Powderly, as chief of the divi
sion of information, is really the man
ager of Uncle Sans big new free EN-
ployment bureau. He is, in fact. much
more than that, but he is that, and for
that reason certain labor leaders de-
cry the division of information. Owe!
and beyond the fact that this new sec.
ton of the bureau of immigration is q

important fact that the primary object
