Distributing the Workmen.

Secretary Straus of the department
of commerce and labor has undertaken
the difficult task of bringing about the
proper distribution of the immigrants
who come to this country seeking en-
ployment by getting the army of the
unemployed out of the congested dis
tricts in the large cities and into the
fields of the west where their services
are in demand. To aid in this work
the department has just established a
branch Office in Chicago, and 100000
return postal cards have been sent 10
rural employers all over the country
asking how many helpers they want
the sort of work to be done, and the
wages to be paid. The replies will be
sent to the great business centers
where the unemployed congregate, and
addresses will be furnished which will
doubtless enable many of the present
idle persons to obtain work.
The necessity and value of effort il
this direction is emphasized by con
trasting existing conditions in the large
seaboard cities. and especially in New
York and in the harvest fields of the

Under that system the court has given

to this city to remove her personal
effects from the embassy prior to

here permanently, though if she
has decided to do so it must have
been without much reflection. To
