The arresting officer informed me that the chief of police of Perth Amboy stated that there are at least 2.000 Malays. East Indians. Arabs. and Africans working in the industrial plants at Perth Amboy and adjacent cities and towns. and that he desired the immigration authorities to deport them. on the ground that they were in the country illegally and that they are engaged in bootlegging. committing all sorts of crimes. and are causing the police considerable trouble. A few years ago I made an investigation in the anthracitecoal region of Pennsylvania. In one particular plantthe LehighWilkesBarre Coal Co.. which operates 14 collieriesI arrested 125 to 150 aliens. all of whom admitted that they were deserting seamen.
