WANT CITY LIFE
WORKLESS MIGRANTS CANADIAN SITUATION By Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright Reed. 8 a.m. OTTAWA, Tuesday. The Immigration Department has announced that the Central European immigration is coming to Canada on the understanding that it -will work the western farms, where labour is badly needed. Immigrants will be compelled to live up to this understanding in the future, or be returned.
Advices received from the Department indicated that a large number of such immigrants refused to work in the farming areas, and many of the unemployed in western cities w r ere Central Europeans brought out by the railway companies for the specific purpose of farm work.
It is estimated that 1,000 of these are unemployed in Calgary alone. Many are also idle in Winnipeg. The men ask for construction work on buildings and railways rather than leave the cities.—A. and N.Z.
