Probably there is no more persis-
tent person on earth than a Syrian,
Greek, Polander or Italian out OF

ces morning, noon and night and at
regular intervals goes to the employ
ment clerk with me want a job"
The fact that there is no job for him
does not seem TO discourage him.
Perhaps there may be a job open for
some boy at 81 or IS a week and the
employment clerk will ask if any of
the heads of families" have any boys
for the job. There are no boys, but
there is a scramble of grown men
for the boys job, crazy TO get it at
81 or So a week, and in this way
many of the heads Of families" are
at work in the mills, doing a boys
job at boys pay
Furthermore, the majority of such
men are getting all the pay their SER
vices are worth to the corporation,
and all that is due them until they
gain some knowledge ofour language
and some intelligent idea OF the diff
ferent processes of working cotton
and wool. In the early days the
boys and girls were apprenticed out
at less money than the 16 year old
boy gets today. and they worked
good many years before their wage
was 81 a day. 1t is no ones fault
but the governments that we have

England.

It is doubtful II any ten years of the
