add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the political and economic updates of the U.S., as of November 28, 1907. It is a remarkable circumstance that the only militant civil-service reformer who ever sat in the Presidential chair has disposed of offices in more variegated ways and for more variegated reasons than any of his predecessors. In another economic update the outward-bound steerage traffic, in spite of an increase in rates, is 60 per cent larger this year than is normal for this season, is one symptom of present industrial conditions in the U.S. But it has an equally important bearing on the larger problem of immigration.
