committee that something positive must
be done. The laws relating to contract
labor have been violated to an alarming
extent because of the lack of machinery
TO enforce them. The whole of Italy is
flooded with steamship agents, who are
telling lies about the United States TO in
duce emigration. One of the facts
brought to light incidentally was that
naturalization papers are being issued
fraudulently to an alarming extent.
Another fact developed was that the
New England fishermen about whose
rights we have had SO much trouble are
really made up OF aliens to the extent of
70 per cent. As to the remedy, although
we shall undoubtedly recommend some
legislation the committee has not agreed
upon the form it shall take. One plan
which it appears TO me would be effective,
would be 10 refer a man 10 declare his in
tention Of becoming an American citizen
six months before leaving his native coun-
try. That would enable the nearest con-
sular agent time TO ascertain whether he
is or not criminal on pauper. Again
some members favored a tax about 500
on each immigrant, but can't agree to
that plan.
