LABOR LEADERS ALARMED.
Fear immigration Is Diverted for
StriIxe-breaking Purposes.

"a BCSNSs
Certain labor leaders, Judging from re-
ports received here, are somewhat exer-
cised over the efforts now making by the
government to direct, through the Divi-
sion Of Information, the stream of immi-
grafton toward States and localities
where settlers are most needed. They
fear that such labor will take the place
of domestic labor. or be used for strike
breaking purposes in case of emergency.
Terence V. POwderly. chief of the Divi-
sion OF Information, and former grand
master of the knights of Labor, declared
yesterday that the division had been Gre
ated to properly distribute immigrants in
the United States.
He said that information bearing on
economic conditions was now being re-
ceived from every State and Territory
in the Union. AS a result the govern
ment would be able to distribute intel
ligently immigrants admitted to the
United States and supply TO States and
cities as acquisitions were made labor
needed in such places. There was no
Intention, he declared, to induce the gov
eminent to embark in the strike-break-
ing business.

TALKS ON CIVIC RULE
John Lee Brooks Addresses
Meeting at Y. NJ. c. A.
MILLIONS NEAR STARVATION
Discussing Capitalization of Wealth
Speaker Declares Population OF the
United States includes 100000
Paupers and 100000 Indisents.
Washington Said TO BE Graft Free.

Statistics OF 1907 show that the United
States contains a population OF 1000 900
paupers and 100000 indigents, or in
other words. that nearly % per cent of
the inhabitants Of this country are on
the verge Of starvation. What then be-
comes Of the tales Of our vaunted pros
perity7" asked John Lee Brooks IN an
address on Twentieth Century Citizen
ship" at the mems meeting at the Young
Mems Christian Association yesterday
afternoon.
Problems arising In municipal govern
ment as a result Of the dishonesty Of
city officials and the Capitalization Of
wealth in the hands Of a few. were dis
cussed by Mr.. Brooks. and special stress
laid upon conditions in number Of the
leading cities as shown by recent dis
closures. New York, Philadelphia, St
Louis and San Francisco were cited
by Mr.. Brooks as examples Of municipal
ties dominated by political machines.
Care Nothing for Laws.
in a Presidential campaign it is a po-
litical saying that as goes New York. so
goes the nation, " said Mr. Brooks. The
election in the State depends largely upon
the result in the city, which is dominated
by Tammany Hail. a political organiza-
ton controlling thousands Of foreign
votes. exercised by men who are without
a knowledge of. and, in fact, care nothing
for, the laws Of their adopted country.
In Pennsylvania there has recently
been erected palace of graft that Is a
stencil in the nostrils of honest people
Recent disclosures in San Francisco have
resulted in the sending OF the mayor Of
the city to the penitentiary. and In St.
Louis there existed g system Of spells
which owes its destruction 10 the indie
fatigable energy of an honest nfan, Gov.
Folk.
This state Of affairs has brought
US 20 a realization that We must solve
these municipal problems or fail before
the nations Of the world.
No Graft An Washington.
Though Washington is free from graft
and, under the Board Of Commissioners,
is, in most respects, a model city, these
Commissioners should be elected by the
peopie iLlsNedu VI receiving lIleII dppOlll-
ment from the President This govern
ment was founded upon the principle that
its people should have a voice in its
affairs, and so it should be in the Dis
trict of Columbia"
Mr.. Brooks produced a number of fig
ures to show that while the wealth Of the
country is on the increase, It is con-
trolled by few, and that the resulting
benefits are not attained by the working
man, who. on the contrary, is forced to
pay a higher price for the necessities
Of life
\ general discussion by those present
of the problems outlined by MIR. Brooks
followed the address.
