fury: There were 1000. 900 slavs in this
country according to the census OF
1910; there are 5000, 900 according to
their leaders.
OF these. the Poles, numbering 941,-
600 In 1910, are the most numerous.
Bohemians and Moravians counted
22S, 900.
Illiteracy runs from ii e cent
among the Bohemians up to 53.4 per
cent among the Ruthenians.
Except among the Bohemians, there
is little industrial experience or valu-
able skill. 1T Is as If great numbers
Of the English Of the sixteenth century
had suddenly appeared among U.s."
These newcomers graVitated from
the start to the mines, the metal
works, the packing centers and other
centers of raw" labor.
For these SlaVs no york is too toll
some and dangerous. Their fatalistic
acceptance of risk has much to do with
the excessive blood-cost Of certain OF
our industries"
80 many are single men that they
form an extraordinary mobile labor
force, willing to go anywhere for an
extra 2 tents an hour"
The Bohemians and Poles furnish
what farmers are in the host. They
come here to stay.
The Slav is frankly vinous. Our
squeamishness about liquor strikes him
as Hypocrisy or prudery.
