Again. Windsor is full of branch stores of Detroit wholesale houses. from seeds fo billiard tables and wholesale drugs. in order to escape the Canadian duty. mostly officered and run by people living in Detroit. The number thus employed was taken during the last session and should now be on file in the Immigration Committee room. and the numbers about equaled each other. not taking into consideration the fact that the profits from these branches and the large salaries ef the managers are in the main taken to Detroit and spent. So that approxsiately it may be stated that for every dollar taken on Saturday night from Detroit to Windsor. the Canadian town. $2 are taken from Windsor and Walkerville to Detroit. not counting the colossal incomes from the Walker distillery. Even the elegant ferry line is an American affair. so that there is perfect reciprocity here on the Canadian side at least. while the United States has the alienlabor law which works all right for labor outside of these towns.
