CLEVELAND ON FOREIGN LABOR.
His Letter TO the United states District

from President Cleveland relating to The
importation Of foreigner, into these ports
in violation OF the contract labor laws is
as follows:
q" To Hon. 0. 4. Galgin, United States
District attorney, Bost0n, Mass:
Dear Sir,-Iuformalion has reached
the Treasury Department that large
number Of foreigners have been brought
into Massachusetts under violation of The
contract labor Jaw for the purpose of
manning American fishing vessels sent
out from The ports on Gloucester. Boston,
and Beverly for the purpose OF iabiug
fish along the Canadian coast. l. seems
70 ne quite certain that such foreign
ers, aliens, have been brought In by
parties in direct violation OF the
statute covering such cases, and
| believe that The importation OF such
foreigners tends 10 the displacement OF
American labor. I am aware that many
of these persons have, through The care
of the officials, been returned 10 the cOun-
try from which they cane ! therefore
enjoin on you the duty of prompt in
vestigaiiOn Of these cases, and re-
quest that YOU confer with the collectors
Of the p0rls Of Boston aud Gloucester
that prompt aud effective measures may
be take1. The department has ordered
that special agents be- detailed, who viii
report directly 10 You, and II you require
any further assistance it will be given YOU
