answers to questions put to them

here.
DIR. Lorenzo Ullo, legal adviser Of
the immigration Bureau, said there
was great difficulty in enforcing the
laws owing to the many contradictions
found in the statutes relative to imml-
grafton. A case in point was the law
regarding criminals coming to this
country, whom the law requires shall
be returned to the nation to which
they belong and the port from which
they come. Sometimes the criminal was
an Oriental, and came from Bremen.
He thought the laws should say such
persons should simply not be permitted
to land, and the steamship company
left to do as they pleased.
Witness said that in none of the
immigration laws was there an ex-
press provision for the deportation of
contract laborers. The laws of 1891
did so by Implication, and it was under
this Act that the department was
! working.
The witness said he favored amend
ing the law regarding contract laborers
so as to insure any agreement to come
here to work, not rigidly a contract.
He would also give persons brought
here by the steamship companies con-
trary to the immigration laws cause
of action against the owners of the
vessel which brought them.
Mrs. Virginia Stuckler, the chief
matron at the barge Office, testified
regarding the treatment of enciente
women arriving here. Of 1,441 women
arriving here during the month in that
condition, fifty-two were married at the
barge Office, twenty-eight were admit :
ted on appeal, and the others were
found to be married women.
Mrs. Stuckler thought the laws
should include an Act prohibiting the
landing of girls brought here for i'm
moral purposes. There was no such
prohibition in the present laws.
William Weihe of the Contract Labor
Bureau, who was formerly President
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers, said 80 per
cent. of all the cheap labor coming here.
Slovaks, Polaks and Russian Poles,
went to Pennsylvania, where they not
only worked on railroads and in the
mines, but entered into competition in
the industrial centers in the iron and
glass works.
"It had been shown" said Mr.. Weihe,
"that the companies give the prefer
ence to foreigners even when skilled
American workmen offer to work for
the same wages"
DR.. Egisto Rossi, Chief Of the Italian
Bureau at the barge office, said his bu-
reau was supported by the Italian
Government. His Government did not
encourage emigration to this country
The bureau had been established here
to regulate the padrone system, and
for the purpose of keeping a record
of Italian immigrants arriving in this
country. While he would not say his
bureau had destroyed the padrone sys-
tenn, yet he had been able to prevent
many new arrivals from Italy coming
into contact with the padrones in this
country.
do you still regard italian immi-
grants in this country as colonists?"
asked Chairman Smith.
I'VE consider as colonists all Italians
who have not taken out naturalization
papers and notified the Italian Govern
ment that they had renounced ale
glance to King Humbert."
