<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The item "Carload of Laborers" describes the group as 'Hungarians'. From my historical readings, particularly the Johnstown Flood of 1889, the term was used not to indicate nationality, but to identify them as somewhat undesirable and of a lower class. For example, the term was used in 1889 in many reports of looting, alcoholism, etc. after the flood.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV align=left> Roanoke Times: Division Superintendent L. R. Taylor and Chief Dispatcher W. L. Melvin, of the Virginian Railroad [<EM>sic</EM>], have been transferred from Roanoke to Princeton, W. Va., and the latter place is to be made headquarters for a division terminus. Victoria is to be the other division terminus. This means that the Virginian has been divided into three divisions, one from Deepwater to Princeton, one from Princeton to Victoria, and the other from Victoria to Norfolk. Mr. Taylor has already moved to Princeton and Mr. Melvin will leave for that place in a few days.</DIV>
