If they have passports they have to be visaed by the consul. and the only place the State Department can exercise the vis6 business is in regard to this section in the immigration law which applied to the anarchist. the dynamiter. the revolutionist. the man opposed to all forms of government. and so on. and this clause of the immigration law is absolutely written into the instructions of consuls in regard to visaing passports. The State Department thinks it can not say to a man who is evidently a paralytic that they refuse the vis6. They warn him. He comes just the same. and when he is at Ellis Island. and held there among the temporarily detained. his relatives get busy and ask his Congressman. among others. to intercede in his behalf and take the matter down to the Secretary of Labor. who sits there and whose word is final. and who. if there is pressure enough. must almost invariably give way.
