During 1880, more than, 100,00 workmen came from the East to the West, as statistics show, and nearly all of these went to work in places where practice of their religion was very difficult. Since a parish priest can do nothing to stop these migrations, the next best thing to do will be to direct these men in some way to parts of the United States where a Catholic priest can attend them and where they can secure lucrative employment as well. Langrand sends a notice not present which gives a plan adopted only by the Denver and Rio Grande Railway Company, which can scarcely be anything but beneficial to all Catholic workmen who enlist in the service. If this plan meets with the approval of Father, Langron asks him to send as many good workmen as desire employment to Pueblo or Denver, Colorado before July 10, 1881. Such a migration of men would entail a loss to the parish and for this reason the railway has made the provision that $12. will be given to the parish every year for every man who enters the railroad service and the same amount shall be given at the end of the second year.
