of unimproved lots and an increase in
lands and improved lots. This in

MEXICAN CONTRACT LABOR
BARRED FROM TEXAS SOIL
ATTORNEY GENERAL ROBB DE
CIDES UNSKILLED MEN CAN
NOT BE IMPORTED FOR
RAILROAD WORK.
Washington. An 'important0 ques
tion respecting the Importation of la
bor from Mexico into the United
States for -work on railroad construc
tion, in Texas has been determined by
the department of justice. The ques
tion was, whether 'men employed as' la
borers on ordinary railroad construc
tion were "skUled" or "unskilled." In
the meaning of the law. The depart
ment of justice has decided that the
men are "unskilled" laborers and
that therefore, cannot under the law
be admitted into the country under
contract - .
Mexicans Denied Admission.
On June 9, 1906, Doreteo Arellames.
a Mexican, applied for admission at
El Paso. Texas, and was "debarred by
a board of special inquiry on the
ground that he was a contract labor
er, 'and that his entry" into the United
States was in violation'' of the Immi
gration, act approved March 1, 1903.
An appeal was taken at the instance
of J. E. Hutt, who has a contract to
furnish labor to the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe railroad, the -Chicago,
Rock Island e. Pacific railroad, and
the Fort Worth and Denver City rail
roads, all east of Albuquerque, N. JL,
and George H. Mosher, who has a
similar contract "-for the Atchison,
Topeka ft ' Santa Fe railroad west ot
Albuquerque as- far as; the Pacific
coast. .
On Jane 25, 1905, Sebastian Sotelo
was denied admission at .El Paso by
a board of special inquiry under the
alien contract labor law. The appeal
was taken at the Instance of the Ben
Heney company, of Tucson, Arts.,
which has a. contract to furnish labor
for the Southern. Pacific between El
Paso and San Jose , on the coast line
and to Fresno on the Valley line.
Question of -Skilled Labor.
The question Involved the construc
tion of the term "skilled labor" in 'sec
tion 2 of the immigration act of
March 3, 1903, it being contended by
the appellants that laborers ordinar
ily employed in the construction and
maintenance of the tracks ot railroads
were skilled laborers within the mean
ing of the term as used in the act, and
that if labor of like kind could not' be
found unemployed 'in the United
States, laborers of -this cuss could be
imported Into the United -States under
contract
Admission Would Nullify Law. -I
Acting Attorney General Robb, in
bis opinion; says:' "It is probable ex
perience demonstrated that, very fewf
skilled laborersrwere brought ftq sthia
country under the' provisions of -section
S of the act' of 1885." For this
reason when the law came to be
amended in 1903 It was not deemed
neecssary to limit the exception to its
operation to new industries aa was J
the case in the original .act in other
words, congress, recognizing the vast
difference between, skilled and un
skilled labor, coacluded that it' might
with v perfect, safety permit skilled la
bor to be imported in all cases where

'labor of like kind unemployed could
not be found in this country." But
no such exception was made in favor
of the importation of unskilled labor.
Indeed, to rule otherwise would, in ef
fect, nullify the whole law.
Should Favor Home Labor.
"The act was designed and intended,
for the protection and security of the
American laborer, whose welfare
every patriotic citizen is bound to pro
mote. Laws designed for his benefit
should, if possible, be so construed as
to effectuate rather than retard the ob
jects for which they are enacted.
"It is certainly not for the executive
department of the government to nul
lify the will of. congress because de
clining or failing to. give the words of
the act their natural and logical import-
Especially is this true in a case
involving the welfare of such a very
large number of our own citizens.
Moreover it does not appear that
since the 'enactment of this law in
1885 It has ever before been contend
ed that unskilled alien contract labor
could legally be Imported.
Orders Aliens Deported.
"The determination of the questioa
as to what is skilled and. what is un
skilled labor within the meaning of
the law rests largely with you. I en
tertain no doubt however, that 'ordin
ary hands', commonly employed in the
construction . and maintenance of
tracks of railroads,' are not skilled
laborers within the meaning of the im
migration act of March 3, 1903. Hav
ing reached the conclusion that they
are not skilled laborers, it follows
from what I have previously said that
such laborers may not 'be Imported
into this country under contract in
any event"
Immediately on receipt of the opin
ion, Acting Secretary- Murray of
commerce and labor dismissed the ap
peals of the aliens and ordered them
to-be deported. '

fied by her, and after Gov. D C. Hey
ward, who weat to the scene of the
trouble, had addressed the mob la
vain. "Bob" Davis, the negro who oa
Tuesday murderously attacked Miss
Brooks with Intent to commit assault,
and who afterwards outraged a negro
girl 14 years olid, was lynched at
Greenwood about 7:30 o'clock Thurs
day evening.
Gov. Heyward reached the scene'
shortly after the negro bad been cap
tured. A platform was erected In a
fence corner on the premises of the
victim's father, from which platform
Gov. Heyward addressed the mob In
an effort to prevent the lynching. The
governor beseeched the mob not to
lynch Davis, but in vain. At the con
clusion of his speceh the governor
was vociferously cheered.
The mob then removed the prisoner
from the view 'of the governor and
within a short distance of the home
of bis victim the negro was riddled
with bullets.
It is impossible to estimate the
crowd, as citizens from several coun
ties had gathered at the scene' and
for two days had been in pursuit of
the negro, but it is certain that hun
dreds of bullets . were . sent through
his body. ,
The militia in 'that section of the
state is now encamped at Chickamau
ga and there were no "nearby troops
to be called upon. The governor's
guards and the Richland volunteers
ot this city had been ordered to hold
themselves In readiness In the event
that their services were needed, but
the mob was determined.
The assault by Davis on Miss
Brooks was made last Tuesday in her
father's store, where she was- tem
porarily in charge. After making
some purchases-the negro grasped a
meat knife, shouting, "You. are .what I
want," and sprang toward the girl.
Miss Brooks attempted to defend her
self with an iron bar, but the negro
slashed her across the throat, making
a gash four inches long, and almost
severed two of her fingers. -
Afterward he went three miles to
another farm 'and outraged a 14-year-old
negress. A posse -of a thousand
men started in pursuit of the negro
soon after the outrage at the Brooks
store and finally captured him Thurs
day .afternoon, near Ninety-Six, a
town nine miles from Greenwood.
