Well. France owns 20 per cent of her railroads. and Italy owns all of her railroads. This fact is true. that there has been no immigration of railroad workers from any European couhtry to this country. That is absolutely true. Evidently the railroad worker finds that whatever wage lie gets there. no matter how small it appears in dollars and cents. Is satisfactory. the real value of the wage being the ability to exchange it for useful articles. Measured by that standard. by the ability to supply himself with the needs of life. it seems that the workers on railroads in the European countries are not forced to leave. their countries.
