Show BACK TO ENGLAND. Skilled Glass Blower3 Barred by Contract Con-tract Labor Law. Washington, Dec. 2.1. Secretary Cor-telyou Cor-telyou has ordered the deportation of the skilled glass blowers from Stourbridge,. Stour-bridge,. England, who were detained at Ellis island under the alien contract labor law. They landed at Montreal and were bound for Corning, N. Y. They appealed to Secretary Cortelyou from the action of the immigration authorities, and their cases practically were assumed, by a glass manufacturing manufactur-ing company of Corning, which, according ac-cording to the British board of special inquiry, had contracted explicitly or impliedly for their services or had induced in-duced their immigration to the United States. The action of the board is now affirmed in all the cases, it being held that the company had not shown such diligence in seeking' like labor in the United States as would justify it in importing labor from abroad. |
