A Great Scheme to Aid Labor Strife in Pennsylvania Mines
Wilkesbarre and Washington reports reveal Knights of Labor plan spending 16000 for European ads to expose labor conditions in Pennsylvania mines. About 7000 Hungarians, many families, live in scant housing and subsist on meager wages, sending millions home. Italians earn under a dollar a day. 490 are women among the Hungarian group. Emigration and reliance on foreign remittance are noted, with claims of noncitizenship aims and civilizational impact. Signor Merino urges Italian king to prove consuls aid the padrone system here.
