Money 10 Pass Inspection

Japanese Lnborers Supplied with
Money 10 Pass Inspection.
SEATTLE. Wash. April 19-Since Feb
ruary about 1900 Japanese laborers have
been brought into Puget Sound district
and 1000 more are scheduled TO arrive by
May 1. Il is asserted that the alien con-
tract labor law is being openly and outra-
geousIy violated by men interested in
bringing cheap labor to the United States.
At the inspection by the United States
Govern ment officials each immigrant must
show $50 in cash under penalty OF being
sent back as a pauper. Two schemes. il
is charged, are being worked TO beat in
spectiOn and defeat the law. The money
used by one immigrant is cleverly convey
ed 10 the next, and so on, until $50 las
done duty for perhaps 200 arrivals.
The other plan is somewhat more Cxpen-
sive but less liable TO detection. Each i'm
migrant gets $50 upon the arrival OF a
ship from an agent who goes aboard at
Port Townsend. the arrangement being
that each shall give up his $50 as soon as
he lands.
