aon to the importation of foreigners into these ports
In violation of the Contract Labor law Is as ioiiows'
To Hon. O. A. Calvin, United States Dstrct'Attorney,
Boston, Mas. u....
Dear Sir Information has reached the Treasury
Department that largo number Of foreigners have
been brought into Massachusetts, under violation OF
the Contract Labor law for the purpose OF manning
American fishing vessels sent out from the ports OF
Gloucester Boston and Beverly, for the purpose OF
taking fish along the Canadian coast IL seems 10 me
quite certain that such foreigners aliens, have Deen
brought In by parties in direct violation OF the statute
covering such cases. and believe that the mporta.
ton of such foreigners tends to the displacement OF
American labor. l am aware that many OF these
persons have through the care of the officials 0een
returned to the country from which they came l
therefore enjoIn on you the duty ot prompt @ IN IN
fer with the Collectors of the ports OF Boston aud
Gloucester that prompt and effective measures may
be taken The Department has ordered that special
agents be detailed who will report directly 10 you,
and II you require any further assistance 1t VIII be
given Won upon application. Yours truly,

Miss Murray met the fremen at the door and told
them TO keep out They went back to their quar-
tcrs when they understood that there had been a
mistake. A platoon of police also met Miss Murray
at the door and retired in good order Hugh Car
Isle, principal Of the school, had made brief nves
tigafion meanwhile and had sent Mr. Van Colt back
