I have omitted the Syrians and Armenians. as the Senator fr6m Massachusetts suggests. Consider conditions in south Italy. from which we have received such vast numbers. When the commission was there ifl 1907 it appeared that the average wage paid to agricultural laborers had been 25 cents a day until the emigration from Italy totlie United States had been so great iii volume that the priceof labor had been so enhanced that at that time the price paid was 40 cents a day. although they did not include the keep..of the laborer. What was true in southern Italy has been true in Austria . it has. been true in Hungary. it has been true in Russia. The wages are far lower in those countries than in Great Brithii. -and lower than they are in Germany. although German wages are not high.
