AN IMMIGRANT’S IMPRESSIONS
Sir,—l have found since my arrival in this land of plenty that there is not as much work available as one is led to believe. I was told that one could have plenty of money, but I find that no so easy with the cost of liv-, ing, board, and many other things. If one does not drink, one is an outcast on most jobs or subject to so many investigators as to why one does not do this or that Also, the main topic of conversation is the horse, the hotel, etc. Why are they not international in mind? I would like to say that it is a grand country in many ways, but why so much of a problem to find a good job? If you have not a ticket, or a union card, or many other things, you have “had it” good and proper as far as many of us can see—Yours, etc, IMMIGRANT. February 26, 1951.
