Grafton immigration officials got busy
in enforcing the federal head tax of

was foreseen to be in the paying of
this tax by the employer taking it out
by instailments from the wages of
the laborers. Among other important
lines affected would be railroad con-
struction, so the present foreign pop

higher up are the ones to suffer by
their loss and no such dilemma is go
