WORK FOR IMMIGRANTS.
Efforts to Secure 1t By Vide Distri-
button of Postal Cards.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington. Sept 23-The efforts of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor to divert the trend Of
immigrants from the Middle West and the regions
around New York to the South will get a strong
impetus next week. when $4,000 postal cards will
be sent throughout the Southern States inquring
to the need OF labor. The cards will be sent
under the supervision of T. V. Powderly, chief Of
the bureau Of immigration, to the various post
masters and distributed farmers and planters by
means of the rural mail carriers.
Thus far the bureau of information has devoted
its attention entirely to the Central States, but
after the Southern has been started SINH
lar number of postal cards will be sent to the Far
West, where 1t is understood there is at times a
great scarcity of labor. Mr.. Powderly is In con-
receipt of to the last cards sent out
and he estimates that no fewer than five thousand
immigrants have had places offered TO them IN
this way He thinks that the bureau OF informa-
ton will steadily receive answers to the CARDS Tor
many years TO come, and that when once the entire
country has been apprsed that such an institution
as the bureau of information exists, the duties of
that department will be greatly increased
