ages Needless Rjoor.


WASHINGTON, July 27, 1SS9-Acting Sec
retary Batchelder has written a letter to the
collector of customs at Cape Vincent, N. Y,
In regard to the enforcement of the alien
contract labor law, In which he says:
Slr-The department received your letter of the
22d inst. with enclosures relating to violations of
the alien contract labor law by Canadians, but
chleny devoted to the consideration of the case of
american and Canadian oystermen at Alexandria
bay.
Your instructions to your deputy, as given in
the copy of your letter to him, are considered
Sa1e and Judlcious on the points, first, that the
Jaw applies only to aliens, second, that the con-
tract 70 labor must be made Prior to Importation,
as explained In Sec. 1924; third, that it was erron-
eouS on the part OF oystermen at Alexandria Raw
10 claim that It was the duty of customs officers
70 keep OUT all Canadian laborers even though
not under previous contract; fourth, that the
law does not prohibit aliens or foreigners from
voluntarily coming into this country seeking for
employment, and contracting for work after their
arrival i, nere NTH, that one who was an American
citizen, but has become a naturalized citizen of
another country, is an alien IN the sense of the
law; sixth, as to the case of an American citizen
residing in Canada, but without having been
, naturaiized there, and coming into this country
under previous contract to labor-the question
as 10 his liability under the law will be decided
when case is presented with the facts and cir
cumstances
In view of the many complicated situations and
close business relations along the Canadian line
wnlcn apparently were not contemplated or pro-
vided Tor by the law it is preferred that they be
submitted 10 the consideration of Congress before
needlessly rigorous enforcement Of the law
possibly causing unnecessary hardship and finan.
clal injury to American citizens should be at
tempted, especially in cases where there is no
complaint from responsible parties. Respect
