CANADIAN STEVEDORES
Working in Georgia, IL Is Thought, In
Violation of Law.


Violation of Law.
WASHINGTON, December THE Treas
ury Department is informed by lmmigra-
ton Agent Lee, at savannah, Ga, that
there are one hundred Canadians at that
point working rs steyedores, who, he be-
lieyes, are imported into this country in
violation Of the alien contract law.
These Canadians, he says, work for
about i've months Of the year
in the shipping season handling cot
ton. and he estimates that during the
time in which they have been at work this
year, they have received over and above
living expenses about $4,000, which they
VIII take out Of the country, and which
should have. gone to native laborers. While
he has 10 doubt that these Canadians were
imported in violation o: law, the men and
their employers are so reticent about their
relations. ga IN to the other. thai he has not
been able 10 secure sufficient evidence
against them to make a good case before
the court.
The native laborers, he says. have with
out avail, so far, rendered him all the assis-
tance in their power.
