Is there any report as to how much money those people send back to Europe? Mi-. DILLINGHAM. I will come to that in a moment. if the Senator please. I intended to speak of that next. In 1907 there was remitted from the immigrant class in the United States to Europe $141.000.000. indicating how carefully these men have carried out the purposes which the commission say they have in mind. Of this amount. $55.000.000 went to AustriaHungary. $52.000.000 went to Italy. and $15.000.000 went to Russia. The balance was divided between other countries in smaller amounts. These men are not charity seekers. they are not lawbreakers. they ore industrious. economical. and thrifty. they come here and their first object is to secure an American rate of wages and to live just as cheaply as possible.
