P. Marsh. president of the Washington State Federation of Labor. to the Secretary of Labor on November 5 last. I make no apology for referring to this letter so often. because it treats more fully this question of immigration In relation to our State than any document I have seen. Mr. Marsh has given a great deal of attention to the question of immigration. and especially to immigration coming in from British Columbia. the entering of Chinese Into the Puget Sound country. On page 10 of the letter he says: One or two fast launches are absolutely necessary to patrol Puget Sound waters. At present the only method used Is to place inspectors on the boats running on regular schedules. good as far as It goes. but not greatly disturbing the peace of mind of the men profitably engaged in smuggling. Mr. Chairman. as I recall. there were something like 200 Chinese last year who were arrested and deported. who were taken by these men and placed along the borders. How many came down by water no one can tell. Puget Sound is a body of water about 150 miles long.
