over-crowded by Russians and Poles who are willing to work for
starvation wages.

Mr. Gage wished to find out whether too many Russian immigrants were
being allowed to enter the country, and whether he ought not to restrict
immigration for the protection of the tailoring trade.

The result of his inquiries has not yet been learned.

A gentleman in Texas who has read about the sufferings of the strikers,
and the poor wages they are able to earn, has written a long letter,
advising them to go out to Texas, and start fruit farms for themselves.

He says the land is waiting for workers, and the labor required is light
and pleasant. He thinks it would be much better for the tailors to go
where their labor would bring a good reward instead of starving
miserably in cities.

This suggestion is much in the same line as one made by Dr. Senner, the
Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island.

Dr. Senner does not think that the immigrants should be allowed to come
here and settle down where they please.

It is his idea that the Government should be kept well informed of the
places where colonists and laborers are needed, and when people come out
seeking work, they should be sent to those sections of the country where
work is waiting for those who want it.
