If the plans recently announced by the department of immigration are carried out, it will be but a short time until the south is receiving its share of the foreign immigrants and the vast number of aliens annually coming to this country will be more equably distribu ted. This innovation will come as a result of an order of Secretary Strauss to the commissioners of immigrants. The order directs that one employee be detailed to take charge of information and distribution work at each immigration station, who will receive and distribute documents and send to the division of information a comprehensive record of all applicants for information and those who are directed to employment. The bureau for information has already started the enormous task of getting in touch with farmers, manu facturers and all other persons throughout the south to learn at first-hand if they need help, particularly farm laborers, mechanics, etc. For this work it is stated that 806,000 return postal cards for distribution by rural delivery will be sent out in the states of the south. On these cards that are returned will be indicated the kind of labor needed and the bureau of information will these assist in securing the people of the south the de sired help.
