To Stop Influx of Undesirables.-
T. B. Gerow, director of the state free
employment bureau, has completed
canvass by letter of the correspond
ents of his office, and many farmers
in Kansas on stopping the unemployed
and undesirable foreign clement in
! the larger American cities from being
dumped into Kansas. He has been
making plans to stop the ingress of
this class, and the replies to his
queries all support his attitude. AS a
result he will formulate a report to
the legislature, which meets next Jan
~ CD hot no OF
office to place effective barriers. Ge-
row states that recently he stopped
large consignment CT unemployed
foreigners from one Of the large cities
from being sent here, and that he
will keep up this work Systematically.
Il will not state he said, where
these men were sent from, or by
whom. However, there are agencies
at this kind of work and much of 1t
is apparently being done. | shall de-
tail the matter in my report to the
legislature upon which / am now at
work l do not know what will be
done to me for my position in the
matter but | think | am right. l2-
norant, undesirable, unemployed for
eigners should not be sent into this
state from the larger cities or any
points. The farmers of Kansas are
against the practice. l made it my
business TO check up the sentiment
in the state on that subject by writ
ing out a great many letters, and the
replies all favor my stand. Just how
the legislature can erect barriers | do
not know, except to empower my Of
flee to put stop 10 this dumping
business. l am at work right now
shutting off these different agencies
engaged in the business and letting
them know that we won't tolerate it
any longer. l received word today
that 200 of this class were dumped
into Kansas just recently, and l have
taken steps to check it all up and get
this source as we'll as all Others"
