FARMERS FAIL
TO CARRY OUT
u. S. |. S. RULES
Laborers Leave Farms and
Drift Into Labor Centers,
Says Berkshire

Laborers brought to the United
States under contract for agricultural
purposes and have been allowed ia
drift northward instead of being re-
turned to the border, and which is
furnishing some grounds for the accu-
sations of the labor unions that Mexi-
cans are being imported to act rs
strikebreakers, according to r. w.
Berkshire, supervising inspector Of
the border for the immigration serv-
ice. The contracts under which labor
erS have been imported require that
the contractors return them for de-
barkation upon the completion Of the
time for which they were crossed.
Many planters have been careless in
carrying out this provision of the con-
tract. The laborers have been al
lowed to leave the farming sections
and have drifted into the labor cen
ters, he said
Mr.. Berkshire yesterday discussed
with local planters this phase Of the
immigration problem and advised
them that some measure 10 correct
this evil would have to be worked out
if the agriculturists wanted TO combat
the efforts Of the trade unions to dis
continue the admission of contract
laborers. Mr.. Berkshire assured the
growers that the immigration depart
ment was willing to assist their eff
forts in eevery manner possible.
Mr.. Berkshire said there is no truth
in the claims Of the federation of an
undue influx Of Mexican labor under
the lifting of restrictions. He said
the entire trouble is caused by the
fact that the farmers have failed TO
return the men to the border when
the term for which they were en-
plOyed has expired, and also have
failed to notify the immigration office
through which they arrived of the ex-
piration Of the time.
This il Mr.. Berkshire's first trip
to the lower border section in some
months. He just recently returned
from trip to Europe. having had
charge of the soviet ark" which sew
eral weeks ago carried Alexander
Berkman and several hundred radi-
Gals back To Russia.
