Other trades. notably the shoe and clothing trades. have been similarly invaded. The padroni of New York stand ready and anxious to supply foreign labor for many kinds of work. in various sections of the country. at reduced wages. It was the opinion of the special commission that immigration was not responsible for the depression of 189394except in so far as the arrival of immigrants just before it and during its continuance swelled considerably the number of its victims. Certainly the industrial state just then did not warrant an increase in population. and that immigrants should have come even in decreased numbers was unfortunate alike for them and for the native poor. of whose scantyrelief they had in common humanity to be given a share. Not the least of the beneficial effects of this measure will be the curtailment of the number of migratory laborers or "birds of passage." They come and go without any intention of gaining a permanent residence. They seek work for a season. or a limited period. live in the meantime in the rudest manner. contribute absolutely nothing to the support of the Government. and take their earnings to spend abroad.
