SAYS LABOR SECRETARY
IS GUILTY OF CONTEMPT
III. E. Goldsmith Charges He Re-
fuses to Obey Restraining Order,
Recently Issued.

Contempt proceedings against Sec
rotary of Labor James j. Davis were
sought today in the District Supreme
Court by H. Ely Goldsmith of New
York City, consultant in immigration
matters. An order was signed in the
local court some weeks ago which
restrained the Secretary of Labor
from interfering with Goldsmiths
practice before the immigration Off
cials and the Labor Department.
It is alleged in the petition of Gold
smith that since the issuance of the
order he has repeatedly tried to ap-
pear before immigration officials at
Canadian entry ports, and that they
have refused to hear him on the
ground that the disbarment order pre-
vented them from doing so. Gold
smith also tells the court that AS
sistant United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover had informed him that the
Labor Department heads had been
served with the courts injunction and
that he was entitled to practice.
The department had charged Gold
smith with violation of certain rules
and regulations in obtaining vises of
passports for immigrants and ordered
him disbarred.
