CITY PREFERRED.
Centra] European Migrants in Canada. PROMISES BROKEN. (Received 10 a.m.) OTTAWA, May 17. The Immigration Department has announced that the central European immigrants coming to Canada do so on the understanding that they will work on western farms where labour is badly needed. They will be compelled to live up to that understanding in future or be returned. Advices received by the Department indicated that a large number of such immigrants had refused to work.in the farming areas and that many of the unemployed in the western cities were central Europeans brought by the railway companies for the specific purpose of farm work. It is estimated that 1000 of these are unemployed in Calgary alone and many are also idle in Winnipeg where men ask for construction work on buildings and railways, rather than leave the cities.
