Not only do they prohibit their own people from returning to British Columbia. but they do not permit Americans of any of these classes I have named to go into British Colunbia Only a few days ago I received a telegram in the case of a young man by the name of John Peirce Moller. who was in the employ of the Ford Automobile Co.. who went over there last June. He was a skilled laborer. He had charge of one of the shops or one of their salesrooinsI do not know which. Last February lie visited his home near Seattle. and when he attempted to return he was prohibited from entering under the order just read. It was stated by an official that lie would have been. deported anyway. The present condition is a great hardship on -the people of our State. and I want to read a resolution passed by the State Federation of Labor at North Yakima. Wash..
