1t Works a Little Hard.

The Grand Trunk Railway evidently be-
lieve in obeying our laws to the letter. The
alien contract law forbids the employment
of foreigners under a contract for services
to be rendered in the United States. 1t has
been the practice of the Grand Trunk to
bring to Portland its staff of trained clerks
to take charge of the merchandise to be
shipped by steamer To discharge the du-
tiesIof the position properly requires training
and experience. But in consequence of the
present law the company has felt constrain-
ed to employ new men who are American
citizens to Go the work. The result produc-
ed considerable confusion at first, but the
men are rapidly becoming accustomed to
their new duties, and, it is hoped that they
will soon discharge them without difficulty.
The law was evidently intended to prevent
the importation of cheap labor from abroad,
but its terms are general, and, in this case,
would seem to infringe somewhat with the
legitimate necessities of the business of the
railway and steamships.
