AMERICAN IMMIGRATION.
THE LAW DEFIED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, Dec. 19. The Secretary for Labor, Mr. Davis, has asked the State Department to make representations to Britain against the Steamship Company, for what he terms: “A bold and I believe a knowing attempt on the part of the company to violate the immigration laws, either because of the paltry profits to be gained thereby, or to discredit our immigration policy.” Mr. Davis has also ordered fines to be sought against the company to the limit of the law. The circumstances arise from the arrival of the liner Aquitania with 300 Hungarian immigrants, notwithstanding the fact that all steamship lines nave been informed that the Hungarian quota is already exhausted up to July. 1922. Mr. Davis also asked Mr. Dougherty's legal opinion as to what action can be taken in the appalling situation which has arisen through the steamship Companies’ reckless disregard of the law of immigration. The authorities have been in constant controversy with the companies, practically ever sine? the inauguration of the immigration law.
