Ruthenians. and Bulgarians. the average that they received yearly was $391.90. which Is less than the farm laborer Is getting. according to the statement of the Senator from Kansas. I have been convinced from my investigation of this subject that It would be decidedly better for the men who have always lived in agricultural regions and done agricultural labor if. when the come to this country. they would go to the agricultural communities and take employment on the farm. where they could live comfortably and where they would be vastly better off financially and In phygical comfort and in advantages generally. than to go to the cities. But I find with our view of distribution. with every effort we have made under the law. with all the encouragement that has been given by States to Invite them to do so. it has been absolutely impossible to encourage immigrant laborers to the rural communities. Where we have in some instances secured men to go on farms and work. they would work for a single season. then they would become lonesome. They want the companionship of their own race. and they go to some central locality where the people of that race live and enjoy the same language and enjoy the same methods of living. and where. briefly stated. they can find those things that are more agreeable to them.
