FOR BUILDING TRADE.
JUGO SLAVS ARRIVE. '* MELBOURNE, Oct. 3. Industrial circles are perturbed by the thought that the 542 immigrants who arrived by the Baltana 60 are Jugo Slavs who- intend entering the building trade in New South Wales. The men, it is claimed, have not been monetarily assisted in any Avay, each man having paid the full passage money. It is notexpected, however, that they will all enter the building trade. . The master of the shin, Captain Allin. and the welfare officer (Mr. Gillespie) were enthusiastic about the men. They said that they were clean, sober, and industrious, and an iiteal type. Some of them claimed to." be experienced in the building trade. Only a few can speak a little English. They all seem to have a definite end in view. They are well informed of Australian life and conditions, through having friends or relatives here.
