least, as only 37197 servants have come and 6,SO2
have gone away from New York. Among the I'M
migrants who arrived up to July 1 of this year.
12442 had professional occupations, the largest
class that of teachers, being represented by 2,122
individuals
Among the trades and skilled occupations,
clerks and accountants lead with 1851 and car
penters and joiners number 5,742, while there Is
good representation of masons and stone cut
ters. Among the so-called miscellaneous occupa-
tions are found S1,732, which however, is not
nearly as promising a figure as 1t seems as dur
ing the same period 1S3S20 laborers left the
country. There have been admitted 15,257 farm
laborers, as compared with 2754 who have emf
grated. The country has gained 1892 farmers
in the same period and lost II ,262 through emil

Where They Are Going.
Just how far the industrial situation in the
United States will be benefited by the new ar
rivals may be cleaned from a table showing the
intended future residence of aliens up to July l.
1t may be safely assumed that they actually go to
the points indicated. The inducement of high
factory wages has kept the majority of them
the Atlantic seaboard. Thus New York state has
received 106630, Massachusetts Al, ,594, Connecti-
cut 1922 and Pennsylvania 27,337. Some Of the
middle western states, such as Ohio Illinois and
Michigan, have gained large quotas, and in Cali
fornia a gain of 32502 is reported. With the ex-
causes have brought influx of population, in
cluding 3S,115 aliens this year up to July l. the
South has not Jared well. Many y7rich agricul-
tural 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 as shown by the official returns
There Is much promise of better conditions
however, in the division of distribution, estab-
lished by Commissioner Wallis, and placed by him
In charge of P. A. Donohue, veteran investiga-
tor Of the department of labor 1t is the function
of this bureau to see to it that the immigrants
know about the opportunities for employment
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 kim and submerge himself in a
colony but there is also drift Of the native born
American from the rural to the urban communi-
ties.
Wallis Ant-segregaton Plans.
Immigration" said Commissioner Wallis, "has
played a greater part than It should in this un-
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 tnat tney nave the WnOle
United States before them. We are arranging fol
popular talks in various languages in which the
diversified nature of the country will be explained
There are to be moving picture shows devoted II
views of different states, especially those which
have large agricultural regions which need devel
opment.
''Now that this movement is under way and w
have at least skeleton organization to carry I
out we have received offers of cooperation iron
all over the country. We are now in touch witt
chambers of commerce, with boards Of trade wit
employment committees of the state, so that W
may know the needs which confront all these lC
calities. For instance, receive letter or tele
gram from some company in Ohio telling Of tn
need for soft coal miners there, again Gel
tain section of Pennsylvania has dearth Q
farmers. AS this phase of our work Is being ez
