PROSPERITY CALLS TO
EUROPE FOR HELP
Labor Agents Report Awdk-
ing of Industry.


New York, Nov. 12.-"Come back" is
the message that steamship agents
who watch the labor market. and
those organizations which encourage
alien settlers in this country are
sending by cable across the Atlantic
to the thousands who left this side
during the labor depression of the
last year
In addition thousands of letters are
being sent by friends remaining here
to those who went back, telling of
the Republican victory and the report
that there is already demand for la
Dor that will grow with the opening
up of all classes of industries.
With this increased industrial activ-
ity corresponding increase of inn
migration is expected. Steamship
agents have already notified their Of
fees abroad to notify those who
bought prepaid tickets that condi-
lions here warrant their return.
While there has been already noted
a slight increase in the number of al
lens arriving, the steamship men say
that no great results can be expected
for the next month, some ag-
ents predict that the tide this way will
not set in until Spring.
The report that some of the big in
dustrial plants of Pennsylvania and
the Middle West are short of help will
induce many aliens to return. Those
who study conditions also point out
that no small percentage of those who
returned to Europe were families who
had lived here many years, but with
the stoppage of work went back home
only because living is cheaper there.
These are expected to return with the
first call
There is no more true barometer
of economic conditions in the United
States than the immigration move
ment," said Gustav H. Schwab, repre-
sentative of the North German Lloyd
Line yesterday The tide flows and
GIBBS as the conditions here are good
or bad. AS soon as hard times come
immigration ceases and the outflow
of foreign labor begins. The toilers
go home to await improved conditions
and return when there is work here
1t is simply question of supply and
demand.
This demand for labor will come
with the resumption of business, and
it will be so much greater than the
supply that those who left us will re-
turn. That many of the aliens ex-
pected to come back is shown by the
fact that they prepaid their return
passage before going away"
The total number of steerage pas
sengers landed in the United States
during the year 1908 to Nov 6 de-
creased S72,097, as against the same
period in 1907. During the same time
the number steerage passengers leav-
ing the United States was 226,611 in
excess of the number emigrating from
this country during the same period
in 1907, making a total net loss in the
foreign labor force in this country
of 1,09S,70S, as compared with the
year 1907.
The decrease in the second-cabin
numbers landed here up to Nov g.
as compared with the same period
last year, is 56,,707. The increase in
the outgoing second-cabin movement
from this country to Europe is 2,199
A large number of the second-cabin
passengers, both east and west bound,
belong to the skilled labor force, of
which there is therefore more than
$4,000 less than year ago.
