Where They Are Going.
Just how far the Industrial situation In the
United States will be benefited by the new
rivals may be cleaned from table showing the
intended future residence of aliens up to July /.
1t may be safely assumed that they actually go to
the points indicated The inducement of high
factory wages has kept the maIority of them
the Atlantic seaboard. Thus New York state has
received 106.630, Massachusetts Al 594, Connect
cut 1922 and Pennsylvania 27337. Some of the
middle western states, such as Ohio, Illinois and
Michigan. have gained large quotas and In Cali
forna gain of 32,5o2 is reported With the
cepton of Texas where the oil boom and other
causes have brought an influx of population, in
Guiding 3S,115 aliens this year up to July l. the
South has not Jared well. Many rich agricul-
tura areas in the middle of the country or beyond
the Mississippi have been neglected The trend is
still toward the huge manufacturing cities and
the much vexed problem of unequal distribution
continues rs shown by the official returns
There Is much promise of better conditions,

tor of the department Of labor. 1t Is the function
of this bureau tc to it that the immigrants
know about the opportunities for e. lpoymcnt
which are open to them in the less congested
areas of the country.
The recently completed census of the United
States has shown stronger than ever before the
trend toward the municipalities Not only does
the new conner seek the city where he may find
his kith and kin, and submerge himself In
colony but there is also drift of the native born
American from the rural to the urban commurn~
ties.
Wallis Anti Segregation Plans
"Imm,gration" said Commissioner Wallis, has
nayed n greater part than It should in this I'M
desirable segregation. This has been largely due
TO the fact that the immigrant when he arrives
here often has very little idea Of the extent OF
the country and of the many opportunities which
are before him, II he will consider them For this
reason we are making clear to immigrants while
they are on the island that they have the whole
United States before them. We are arranging for
popular talks In various languages In which the
diversified nature of the country will be explained
There are to be moving picture shows devoted to
views of different states, especially those which
have large agricultural regions which need devel-
opment.
"Now that this movement is under way and we
have at least skeleton organization to carry II
out. we have received offers Of cooperation from
all over the country We now in touch with
chambers of commerce, with boards of trade, with
emrloyment committees of the state, so that we
NAV know the needs which confront all these To-
calities For instance. l receive letter or tele-
gram from company in Ohio telling of the
need for soft coal miners there, or again GER
tain section of Pennsylvania has dearth OF
farmers. AS this phase of our work is being ex-
