DEPORTATION NO REMEDY.
Houston Post Declares 1t Would Re-
place One Problem with Another.

From the Houston Post
The Charleston News ard Courier. a
sedate and usually conservative contem-
poTary. has offered as a solution of the
race problem the deportation OF the ne
gro. And no doubt deportation would be
q solution il It could be brought about.
Unfortunately. our contemporary does not
inform Us how it can be done. Quite a
number Of men and newspapers have adj
vocated deportation. but none has ever In
formed the country by what authority We
are to undertake 10 depoT. citizens Of the
United states. We must recognize in the
outset that the negro is a citizen. and
that the Constitution and statutes con-
tain no provision for the deportation Of
citizens.
The Washington Herald states the sit
uation tersely in these words We have
never made a practice or depOrting our
citizens, even when guilty OF heinous
crimes. In fact, we arc always glad 10
get them back, so that they may be tried
and punished. BY what sort Of legisla-
ton. not in violation Of the Constitution.
could the negro be deprived of his citizen
ship? Could ne be denationalized and
then. as an alien. sent out of the country?
But even aliens have the rights o. citi-
zens to the protection Of life, liberty. and
property. They cannot be deported unless
they have come into the country in de-
/ nance Of our laws. or unless in time OF
WAY they give aid and comfort 10 the
enemy
But suppose there were no constitu-
tionaI obstacles in the way of deportation.
-FT.x~
Gcport them by force? They are natives
OF the United States, and not Of some
foreign country. We have no territory
which could be used In that way, and the
African countries from which their an
cestors came belong now TO other great
nations. which would have a say in the
matter il we proposed 20 return them 10
Africa As for The Philippines. the hab-
table portions are quite densely settled
already. Porto Rico and Hawaii are over
crowded, and Alaska is for natural
reasons out Of the question.
Suppose again, that these obstacles did
not exist. how would we 90 about depcrt-
ing 100000 people? All the immigrant
ships in the world are kept busy for the
most part in bringing annually 1.009,000
immigrants from Europe TO America 1t
would be necessary, then. to construct
[ al-u cHnip nH'i'AtSe u SiA4pS oI q vast
outlay OF capital and probably after all
/ the expense CT deportation had been met
We would be out OF pocket some billion
dollars or more, with important indus
tries paralyzed and Unutterable confu
sion distTacting US politically socially
and industrially, for the rapid elirnina
ton of the negro population would have
20 be compensated By the importation Of
hordes of alien people who would give US
problems as difficult as that which now
vexes US.
Altogether, the deportation idea is mere
~ a beautiful theory which serves to
amuse Us. but not to lessen our difficult
ties

LABOR LAWS BROKEN
Government Finds a Strong
Case Against Mill Men.
ALIENS PROMISED HIGH WAGES
English Men and Girls
Struggled In Only to BE Deceived.
Coached by Agents to Evnde Imni-
grafton Inspectors - Reports Sent
to the Bureau Of immigration.

Piima facie evidence has been received
at the Bureau of immigration that mill
owners in North Carolina, as told ex-
clusively In The Herald. We're guilty of n
fragrant violation of the alien contract
labor law in the case Of the twenty-five
English men and girls brought TO this
country 20 work in cotton mills in several
cities in the State named.
Reports received at the bureau indicate
that the aliens in question were promised
higher wages than they were receiving
at home, but according. to their state
ments they were deceived by the agent
representing the mill men. The prelimi-
nary statement Of each has been taken
and contains evidence, the officials say, Of
a violation Of the contract labor laws.
A statement made public at the bureau
yesterday says:
1T may be said that these persons
were for the most part employed in
England, contented with their lot and
perfectly satisfied 10 remain where they
we're until their ambition was aroused
by the statements made TO them by the
agent who is alleged To be responsible
for their importation.
1T was represented 20 them that they
would receive various sums up = g per
day for their services here; in point OF
fact. however, ali Of these persons re-
ceived higher wages in England tnan
have been paid since they arrived IN
North Carolina.
There has been some variation in the
wages. but from 50 cents to 81 per day
for twelve hours work is apparently the
average. From 8 to s. per week has
been exacted in payment Of board in
the establishments maintained OF con-
trolIed by the mill owners. and the liv-
ing conditions have been far from sat
isfactory.
"As a consequence, all OF the aliens are
much dissatisfied and are not inclined 10
be parties to any c0ncealment as TO the
actual circumstances under which they
were brought IL the United States. The
prepayment OF passage under a definite
promise OF employment is Illegal, this
being also true as to solicitations, prom
ises. and agreements 10 perform labor or
service. as an inducement TO aliens to
immierate 20 the United States
The agent herein referred 10, it Is
charged. not only paid the passage OF
these persons. but is also claimed TO
have invented stories FOR each alien TO
tell the inspection officers at the port OF
entry, as well as explaining the immlgra-
ton and contract labor laws giving each
person 50 and fictitious addresses 10 Ia
cilitatC landing, s besides coaching the
younger girls 10 misstate their ages as a
means OF still further dcceiving the ex-
aiming officials.
All lad employment promised in adj
vance Of coming here The Department
o. Commerce and Labor has given eX-
plicit instructions that the aliens shall
not be confined IN any penal institutions
but shall be made comfortable in respect
able boarding houses.
