ALIEN EMPLOYMENT
UNDER CONSIDERATION

New York, Nov 1S.--As the result
OF charges made by labor unions that
the contractors building the new sub
ways were violating the state law pro-
hlbiting the employment of aliens on
public works. 40 members of the Cen
eral Contractors Association, who are
doing most of the subway work, met
tonight and appointed a committee to
test the constitutionality of the law.
Inc enforcement of the law would
mean the discharging of about $4,000
alien laborers employed in subways
work and seriously interfere with the
completion of the subways the con-
tractors say
The contractors decided they will
comply with the law but will appeal
TO the public in the difficulty of COM
pleting the work without alien labor.
A statement issued after the meet
ing says
1T is believed the alien labor Law
is not constitutional and is a violation
or the treaties which the United
States has with other countries. The
secretary declined to say whether the
decision to comply with the law would
mean the discharge of all their alien
labor declaring that this lay with in
dividual contractors.
