Excerpt from Bulletin of the Department of Labor, Vol. 9: March, 1897Although the Italian padrone discovered in the United States a field peculiarly suited to his activity, he must be considered as a distinct product of European soil, however much he for a time prospered under American conditions. His prototype is to be sought in the country whence he came, among the camorristi (a) of Naples, perhaps, and a germ of the practice of extortion, which has become known as the padrone system, may be found in the custom of the Italian peasantry of seeking the good will of the padrone (master, landlord) and others whom they recognized as superiors by habitually making them presents in addi tion to required payments or fees.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
