FOR FARM WORK
CANADIAN IMMIGRANTS SETTLERS WHO DO NOT SETTLE. (A. and N.Z.) OTTAWA, May 17. The Immigration Department announces that Central European immigrants coming to Canada on the understanding that they will work on Western farms where labour is badly needed, will be compelled to live up to the understanding in future or will be returned. Advices received by the Department indicate that a large number of such immigrants have refused work in the farming areas, and there are many unemployed in the western cities, whither Central Europeans have been brought by the railway companies for specific farm work.
It is estimated that 1000 of these are unemployed in Calgary alone. Many are also idle at Winnipeg. The men ask for construction work on buildings and railways rather than leave the cities.
