sion was rendered this morning by Commits
sioner General Sargent, Indicative of the
spirit in which he interprets the immigra-
zion laws aimed against labor contracted

one discovered the advertisement and had
the men examined and an oruer or depor-
tation was issued against Them. The Treas

Mr.. Sargent recommends that the men be
allowed to stay where they are. He t1keS
the ground that, although there has been d
technical violation of the law, no pracJcaI
