I want to exhibit to Members here this map of the city of Fall River. which. it can be seen. is marked with groups of pins. 1.036 pins roughly divided into three groups. 786 black pins and 250 white pins. Every black pin indicates the street and house where an infant under 1 year of age died in Fall River in 1909. and every white pin indicates a stillbirth. One group roughly outlines the section of Fall River where the Italians and Poles live. a second one the section occupied by French and Belgian mill hands. and the third that section of the city occupied by immigrants from 17 other European countries. This very significant map is the result of the personal canvass of Mr. Chew to determine the facts indicated.
