NEW YORK, October sQ-CoIIector Erhardt
and the Castle Garden authorities are having
another bout over the contract labor question.
The Castle Garden people have been pretty
high and mighty Of late, and have admitted or
sent back immigrants suspected of being con-
tract laborers with little regard for the opin-
ions Of their official superiors. Some days ago
German laDorer, Dietz, supposed TO be under
contract, arrived ON the steamship Wisconsin.
The Castle Garden officials said he must 90
back. Collector Erhafdt said he must stay.
Poor Dietz led a battledore and shuttlecock
existence for several days. and the Castle Gar
den authorities tried to put him aboard the
Wisconsin, but he stuck fast in Mr.. Erhardfs
custom house. There was big kick at Castle
Garden, and Dietz was dragged into court. The
Judge told him he could stay here, but by this
time the German was so fuddled that he al
lowed the Castle Garden people to capture him
before be got two blocks away from the court,
and to carry him OF to Castle Garden again.
This morning they tried to smuggle him on
board transatlantic steamship, but he got
collared in the custom house once more. Col
lector Erhardt has taken Dietz under his care
and threatens to make 1t hot for the Castle
Garden officials.
