IslaucRATIoN RULING


No Money May Be Used in Gaining Ad-
mission Of Aliens.
Port Townsend, Oct. 28.-With the
receipt here Of a copy Of recent de-
cision by Secretary Oscar Strauss, Of
the department Of commerce and labor
there is established a principle that
forbids the bringing Of aliens into
the United States by any state in a
manner where the circumstances con-
flict with the rules and laws regulating
immigration.
The decision rejects the right Of q
Cuban to enter at New Orleans, where
it was shown that he had como into
America with money advanced by the
state Of Louisiana, and for the purpose
of engaging in agricultural pursuits
along line Of advancement proposed
by that state in q recent effort to re-
juvenate degraded lands.
Secretary Strauss rules that where
the use of money by either an indi-
vidual, corporation or state serves
either in whole or in Fart as an in
ducement for the bringing of an alien
into the country such must be con-
strued as an evasion of contract labor
restrictions.
