NAGEL TALKS ABOUT
DEPORTING RUSSIANS

WASHINGTON, July O Following
the receipt of a report from Acting
Immigrant Inspector Halsey at Homo
lulu, Secretary Nagel expresses opinion
that the situation alleged by President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor to exist among the Russian
immigrants in Hawaii, working for the
sugar planters, was much exaggerated.
In public letter to the Secretary,
Mr.. Gompers declared that an appalling
state of affairs existed in Hawaii, where
lured into the Territory. The situation,
he said, was such as could fully estab
lish a condition Of peonage.
Secretary. Nagel admitted there are
some Russian. immigrants in the Islands
who had been induced to 90 there by
the territorial board of immigration and
who had become public charges, They
are unfit for agricultural work.
He is determined to remedy condi
tions as far as possible, and has taken
steps to prohibit the further immigra-
ton of persons who are in danger of
becoming public charges.
He will he says, insist on the de-
portaton of every one who was inn
properly admitted or who may become
a public charge. Deportation IS to be
paid for by the territorial board.
He also has admonished the immi
grafton authorities to be more careful
in admitting persons who possibly may
become dependent
