"Somehow Good"
William de Morgan
Pennsylvania, on account of its mines, gathers by far the greatest number-in 1906 there were about 500,000 slavs in the State; New York had nearly 200,000, and Illinois about 134,000. The Bohemians and Poles seem inclined to farm, but in the main the slav laborers have busied themselves in the coal, coke, iron, and steel industries.
