ADVICE TO MECHANICS, ARTI'
SANS AND LABORERS.

American mechanics. artisans and "a
borers should stay away. Spaniards ana
italians furnish all the mechanical labor
which is required in addition to the ma
tive Argentinos While wages are fairly
high. they are not equal in the skilled
trades TO wages in the United states.
The companies which supply Argentina
with agricultural machinery send out their
own men at the beginning OF every crop
season for the repair and erecting work
which is necessary, and these skilled ait-
sans return after few months.
Farm laborers are obtain ID from Eu-
rome at less wages thar they could be had
from the United States. The steamship
companies bring out many thousands who
return to Europe after the crop season.
An American farm laborer could make
biz wages as a harvest hand during a
very short period. just a. In Kansas OF
Nebraska. nut the remuneration for few
weeks at the height of the harvest hardly
would compensate for the long months
which would tave TO be endured under
the ordinary conditions OF Argentine farm
labor

Of Spanish az well as OF English is essen
tial The American firms and companies
which are established i'm Argentina bring
out their own employees so that an Amen-
can seeking a position with them very
rarely finds an opening.
Promoters should stay away from Ar
gentins, at least for a while. There is
nothing at present to promote. II used
to be the Legend that asy Englishman or
American walking along the streets of
Buenos Ayres could not 20 three blocks
without being stopped and offered a con-
cession or an opportunity TO form a COM
pany with the proviso that the capital
must be got abroad. This legend probably
is an exaggeration. but at any rate Ar
gentina is past the period of promoters
and concessions Her development is now
along more conservative lines.
Having stated some Of those who should
stay away, it is only proper 10 indicate
some Of those who should come to Argen-
tina.

dents should come I put them first II

IN the accompanying plan and perspec-

n first time a comprehensive view Of
what all good Brooklynites hope (and
have reason 10 believe will in a few years
delight the eye OF every visitor TO the
city Of Homes who enters by the main
kate-the Brooklyn Bridge. This scheme
IA the recommendation of a representative
committee of ten Brooklyn citizens,
formed for the purpose at the urgent sug-
gestion Of Controller Prendergast and II
is a carefully studied effort to provide
co-ordinated solution for several improve
ments that have long veXed the great
borough across the river.
The principal points taken into account
were the selection of a courthouse site
the location Of the new municipal build
ing. the laying out OF an attractive bridge
plaza and the removal Of the elevated
tracks from Fulton street between the
bridge terminal and Boerum Place, which
is a short distance beyond the Brooklyn
Borough Hall. The accompanying illus
trations. which indicate the plan of the
committee. are from drawings prepared
BY Edward II. Bennett a Chicago archi-
tect and expert on city planning. This
scheme in itself is but one feature Of the
general plan for beautifylng Brooklyn
as worked out by Mr.. Bennett for the
Brooklyn Committee on City Plan.

Aside from these misdirected letters, a

Much confusion exists in regard TO the

Clerks and those seeking clerical posi-
tions Of any kind should stay away. The
retail business Of Bucnos Ayres is i'm the
hands OF Italians and Spanisrds. Wages
are small compared with what q clerk

The big British commercial houses natu-
