1116 - L. May 4; ed: 2/1,2 - The volunteer militia and draft of the state
will take 40,000 men, leaving labor seriously affected. The one source
of labor supplies is immigration. "Some efficient management might induce
larger numbers of these immigrants to come to Ohio, instead of lodging,
like driftwood, in New York City, or being carried to fields of labor
further west, and by no means so inviting." (12)
