“The Italian laborer does more than his share of work and receives less than his share of earnings; for as a matter of fact, the laws enacted with regard to this matter oppress the laborer and assist rather than hamper the contractor. Even supposing that the contractor does not succeed in importing contract labor, he finds in the market a large number of men entirely at his mercy, with not even the weak (government] promise to defend themselves against [the contractor's] greed. ... "The contractor is sure to depart from the terms of the contract either as to wages, or hours of labor, or the very nature of the work... . The employer ... recognizes (only the contractor, not the laborers), and all wages are paid to him. He [keeps a portion of] these for his own benefit. ... Meanwhile the (working] men have to live, and to obtain food they increase their debt with the contractor." S. Merlino, journalist, article on contractors who recruit immigrant laborers for employers, The Forum magazine, 1893
