sands OF Foreigners.


READING, Pa, July Fit Is announced here
that many large corporations in Pennsylvania in
tend discharGing every unnaturnlized foreigner
in their employ. Thu reason given is that rather
than go to the trouble TO obey the new law, tax
ing such foreigners three cents a day for every
day employed. the corporation will discharge
them. Many foreigners are already leaving the
State. The courts are strict in their require
ments for naturalization. and this with the new
tax law will drive aliens to other States. Here
tofore the courts were lenient in granting nat
uralization papers. Now they require the alien
to know considerable about American political
history. the United States Government, and the
English language.
The new law, which went into effect on July 1,
requires every unnaturalized foreigner over
twenty-one years Of age to pay three cents q day
tax for every day employed, and the employer 10
made responsible for the tax. The employer Is
to report to the county Commissioners quar-
terly. under oath. giving full details as TO each
man. The penalty Is a fine OF from 5000 to
81 900. The employer collects the tax and pays
It over to the county. The aliens say the tax
is unjust. The officials say 1t is the only way to
get any tax at all from these men.
thousands OF such aliens toll for $40 to $l5 q
month, they say they will not leave. The Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company
will be put TO a great deal OF trouble to keep the
accounts. The coal region aliens have no desire
to be naturalized. but send their money home to
Europe. At a recent court in Schuylkil county
only siNty-one men appeared for NATURALIZATION

tion OF Mr.. Alexander as President and Mr.. Hart
as Treasurer. The board will meet again to-
