Dear Mr. Secretary:-
I have just received the enclosed letter which
explains itself. Will it be possible to do anything to
help out our canning industries? This labor is certainly
skilled labor and I do not see why it should not come under
- the exemption clause in the bill. If necessary, I can
get statements from our canners of the urgent need for this
Canadian labor. Please return the letter for my files.
Hoping for a favorable reply, I am,
Very truly yours,

My dear Senator:-
The farmers and lumbermen of Northern New Ihgland are
suffering greatly from a lack of unskilled labor, due to the fact, as
the
!. I am informed, that Canadians cannot cross the line on account of
literacy test and 48.00 head tax law, consequently there is not being
-as much ground tilled as there should be, nor as much lumber cut, and
a little later haying will come on and will .further aggravate a very - -

On Friday June 8th.,last pastthere appeared in the Bangor Daily
't
to be the copy of a telegram sent by Governor Carl E. Milliken,Governor 'I
at a
of Maine,to his Secretary,the gist of which was to the effect that
o hearing before the Department of Labor held on June 7th,the head tax and
illiteracy test had been suspended in sections where there was a shortage
of farm help and woodsmen.
If such suspension has been made will you not send me at your
earliest convenience a copy of the ruling ?
Trusting that I may hear from you at an early date I remain,

My dear Mr. Slayden:
In response to yours of the 13th aclmowledging copy of the order
of aliens
of the Department of Labor relative to certain temporary admission
across the exican and Canddian boundaries, I wish you would do me the favor
of reading the order again. I ask this because you seem to have inferred
what it was
that the action taken by the Department was wholly different from
in fact, This I gather at any rate from the latter part of your letter in
which you say that the order referred to makes you realize that the immigra-
urnistakeable
tion law must be simplified and strengthened so as to exzL~u in
to see that
lterms"the purpose of the people and of their representatives
hereafter only ismnigrants really fit for American citizenship shall be per-
mitted to come into the country and be residents with the ultimate possibility
of becoming citizens."
it doss not allow
Upon re-reading the order you will see that
and that it opens
any one to become a resident beyond a short visiting period
allowed by
no possibility to any one of becoming a citizen. The admission
purpose
the order is for a season not to exceed 6 months, is for 1ao specific
at any time.
and under safe guards for prompt returnfnd is revocable
Of the probable necessity for this order there would seem to be
missibl aed have been coming into the United States for harvest work re-
turning at the eni of each harvest, p ree who are excludable for the first
time by the illiteracy clause of the act which went into effect early in May
of this years under circumstances which did not exist at the time of the
of loss of crops from
passage of the act, viz; a state of war and the danger
an insufficient supply of harvest labor. It seems to me that if all the air-
were
cumstances had been before Congress when it passed the bill, as they

My attention has been called to the Order which you have
recently mde suspending the operation of the illiteracy test
.
and the Contract Labor Clause of the Inmnigration Eill so as to
permit Mexican Laborers- to enter the States bordering on that
Country temporarily for the purpose of gathering the crops
raised in these border states. I want to most respectfully
but earnestly suggest that no such power is vested in you by
.
. the Immigraton Law. I understand that you are of the opinion
that you derived such power from the last Proviso of Section 3
r
f) of the recent Immigration Law. I cannot see how anyone can
t':
:,s construe this provisd in that way. The context shows con-
?1
clusively that it was not intended to give you the power to
ijj suspend that Law, but only to authorize you to issue rules
and proscribe conditions for the admission of those whom the
I law itself in te-rns admits temporarily. The Proviso next to
this last one goes on to say that Aliems may be admitted under
'
contract by parties bringing them in for a fairgsxposition etc .
''
Some other clauses of the Law by its positive enactment admit
Aliens temporarily. How you can construe a provision which
3 4
j1
author zes you to admit such Alieus temporarily into the right
to suspend the Law is beyond my comprehension. If you have the
.r right to suspend the Law in such cases as you have done, then
you would also have the right to suspend the Law admitting
millions of people from the Barred Zone in Asia as laborers on
the Pacific Coast, or to admit hundreds of thousands of Euro-
''
pean laborers to work in the coal mines and great nanufactur-
; ing enterprises of the East. The precedent that you have set
;' is a-most dangerous one and a gross peeversion of the law. 13e-
forestaking any etion
by Resolution or otherwise, I aslc you to
let me know definitely what action you have taken in this mtter.
-,,
If you persist in that opinion, I shall certainly ask Congress
t to take any supposed right that you think you have under this
Y
±4
Section away from your Departnient. Please let me hear from you
promptly and oblige,
