IMMIGRANTS in CANADA
FEEL PINCH OF POVERTY
Public
Deuded into Moving Hudd in
TarPaper Reservation 0erisively Called Shacktown.

Washington. D. C.-With bra8en
effrontery some officials high in au-
thority in Canada are placing adyer-
tlsements in many newspapers
throughout the United States urging
upon American farmers the "advan-
tages and opportunities" of that bleak
region as contrasted with this coun-
try. If the latest reports that have
come from the Dominion are trust
worthy these advertisements not only
misrepresent conditions but are like
ly to cause as much distress and loss
as do the seductively worded circu-
lars sent out by the gold brick" mer-
chants in the financial centres.
A competent observer, Mr. Edward
Porritt, has written a letter to the
press which effectually takes the rosy
bloom of prosperity off "Our Lady of
the Shows" and it is here condensed
IN the hope that it may reach the eye
Of any American farmer who has been
deluded into even thinking of emil
grating thither-
Mr.. Porritt writes; Since the de-
pressing began in October last there
has been a growing feeling in the Do
minion, and especially in Ontario-a
feeling that is not bounded by party
lines-that until there is some we'll
manifested uplift in trade, the Gov
eminent should go little easier on
its immigration propaganda.
This feeling is stronger in Toronto
than in any other large City. It's ex-
istence there is due to the fact that
during five or six recent weeks public
subscriptions wer@ necessary to main
tain or to assist some $50 families
300 people in all, who are domiciled
In what has been known all over Can
ada as Shacktown This is a region
Just beyond the municipal boundaries
OF Toronto in which these families
who are almost all newcomers from
the Old Country, built themselves
5hantles-many of them mere tar pa
per Notwithstanding they could
not pay the high rents which in re-
cent times have been demanded with
In the city limits of Toronto. These
unfortunate people, being thus out
side the city limits, had no claim on
the city institutions which care for
the poor, and they might have been
left to face the hard times of the
present winter without regular or
systematic help had it not been for
The Globe, which appealed to people
all over the province on behalf of
these unfortunates and associated the
churches in the work of organized
ceIief.
Relief in Toronto.
There was a ready and generous re-
spouse to the appeal of the Globe.
Two hundred men and women of To-
ronto-all yolunteers-be asso-
ciated in the work of distributing the
relief that was provided out of the
fund, which rapidly ran up to about
100000, Ne0e of the unfortunate
newcomers were left destitute There
were soon funds In hand or in sight to
see them through to the end of March.
But it was not thought that the prob
lem of Shacktown will then be at an
end, for there are 1000 or 1000 I'M
