Note 172-4 — Chapter III
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
As to how many workmen in the eastern part of North America buy land in the west, and so threaten their employers with immediate emigration, see Brentano, Arbeitergilden, II, 131. However, in Massachusetts, women's wages are in many instances so low that, considering the dearness of the means of subsistence, it is almost impossible to understand how they exist. (Statist. Journal, 1872, 236 ff.)
