NEW YORK COMMISSIONER OPPOSES
1. #. 5N CONTRACT LABOR Law. " St e s'


Thos. Fitchie, Commissioned of I'M
migration. Of New 7 ork. gives it as his
opinion in his annual report, that the
contract labor law has served to bar
out of this country the most desirable
class of immigrants, and. at the same
time made a most dangerous enemy in
the labor market OF those who arrived
almost penniless and were compelled
to accept employment at any price
they couldsget.5 Mr.. Fitchie says:
1T is my earnest conviction that since
the passage of the law a large proper
stion of the. aliens deported as coming
in violation of the alien contract law
were of the very best class Of aliens
coming here. 81. y %z.-:=- 5=-' :@s't
/ further believe that their deporta-
ton was Of no benefit to the American
workingman, and, in fact, worked to his
disadvantage, because he was lulled in

his principle danger was the alien COM
ing here without a cent or any means
Of livelihood; who. was compelled to
take what was Offered him or 5starve,
and was his principle opponent and
most dangerous enemy in the labor
market. A. ts 55ss, m :x5s}&9ras : =.

disappearance %OIsBlneS two former ecO-
nomic stages, is there any good reason
for believing that it is SO bound up with
capitalism that the destruction of the
later involves 1T also? If plain deduc-
tons from history are of any value, we
should say not. sssg, ( -5sss&s j ....s 3.
The slave holding class no doubt saw
in the passing away Of slavery the de-
struction of the church. But they We're
mistaken. The land-owing classes, the
rulers in the fendal ages. we know as a
historical fact, took the same View.
They also were in error, Mr.. Hanna
stands in the same position today as
the defender of capitalism. Is he as
certainly righteas the others were GER
tainly wrong? It looks as if the whole
matter rests upon the infallibility Of
Hanna, dogma which we think Will
hardly meet with the universal accept
ance, either from capitalists or Social
lists. ,s,.-., al,
@ Turning the above the other way
round, it will be readily seen that the
Roman Catholic church proposes to
stay on earth, capitalism or no CAPT.
talisn, and judging from the past the
belief is we'll warranted that it knows
how to do so. Like every other :insti-
tuition it has been used in the interests
of the ruling class at different economic
periods, but it was quick to see the i'm
,evitable passing away of these different
ruling classes and adapt itself to the
succeeding economic stage. And that
is the reason that it exists today as an
important factor in human society. And
for that reason also it will drop Mr..
Hanna ana his class just as soon as the
necessity for doing SO becomes appar-
ent. s..y. 80 -
In conclusion we would call the at
tention of our numerous Roman Catho-
lie readers to the highly honorable oc-
cupation which this brutal labor-skin-
ner maps out for the Christian churches
of all denominations, their own includ-
ed. 1t is essentially. the same view
which this class invariably take in re-
gard to. the religious institutions of the
day, and is in the main the reason why
they support, them. The chief end of
