For some time the Greek system of farming out young lads at so much
per head is carried out in this city, as well as the larerer cities. The follow
ing dispatch from Washington would
indicate that a stop is to be put to
the practice:
Washington, July 19. Facts which
have been brought to his attention from time to time have caused Frank P. Sargent, commissioner general of immigration, to conclude that there is an effective and deep-rooted padrone system in operation in this country, operated by Greek immigrants, Having arrived at this conclusion Mr.Sargent has acted accordingly, and hereafter it will be more difficult than ever for fruit venders and barbers and proprietors of shoe-shining parlors to import ship loads of diminutive Greek boys and youths for the purpose of working them indefinitely without wages. The influx of these little chubbyfaced boys, black-eyed, coarse-haired Greeks into the larger cities of the
United States in the past few years has been very noticeable. In St. Louis within a year there were more than a dozen shoe-shining parlors opened in the central portion of the business district in which more than a half dozen Greek youths were employed. On some of the windows are painted signs explainingthat "the particular company or firms operating this place has branches in several other cities." The same conditions exist in all the large cities.
The plan seems to have originated
some years ago. in the idea of a New York shoe black, who was making money to bring over a young cousin, 15 years of age, Glowing letters of the wonderful country and the future in store for the boy resulted in the father, an ignorant countryman, accepting the ticket sent for the boy, who was put on board ship and sent to New York. To the Greek standard of wages and prices, $50, the sum necessary for passage from Athens or Sparta to New York is an immense sum. The father saw no injustice,therefore, in binding his boy to work for the American cousin until e was 21, without wages, in order to repay the expense of the voyage. Gets Boy for his Board. The wily immigrant, therefore, secures a boy for one shoe-shiningchair
at a wage of $8.33 and board per year instead of $5 a week, which he had to pay his other hands. It paid so well that he brought over other boys on the plan. Other Greeks followed his example, until the system is familiar to every Greek dealer or shopkeeper. To such proportions has the system grown that a few days ago, while Com missioner General Sargent and Mr.
Cortelyou, then secretary of commerce and labor, were in Boston on a tour
of inspection, one ship arrived bear
ing 140 Greek boys, all under 15 years
of age. When the influx became so
large as to atrract the attention of
the immigrant authorities, and they
began to make inquiries,the wil Greek bethought him of a subterfuge. He was bringing the boys over to edu
cate them. That has come to be the
standard excuse. This was the rea
son assigned in nearly every case on
the Boston ship. Experience and investigation in prior cases, however, had shown the falsity of htese representations, and most of the 140 were
deported.
It has always been the case to trace these cases. False names and
addresses, both of the boy and the
conniving elders, are hard to trace, when they are once submerged in the alien colonies of a great city, where
every man regards the immigration officer as his natural enemy, to be outwitted, on every possible occasion. But special inspection work was done; certain suspicious cases were followed up closely and boys who had come over to receive schooling through the agency of an "uncle" were found standing on the street corners, crying out in their melodious patois, "Banana, fl cent doz." Others were farmed out as rag and cigarette pickers, at great personal profit to ) . . , ,
Va. "I suffered from chronic diarrhoea for ten years and during that time tried various medicines without obtaining any permanent relief. Last summer one of my children was taken with Cholera morbus, and I procured a bottle of this remedy. Only two doses were required to give her entire relief. I then decided to try the medicine itself, and did not use all of one bottle before I was, well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine." This remedy is for sale by A. G. Luken & Co. and W. H. Sudhoff, Fifth and Main streets.
