What the Senator mentioned has been going on all the time since the passage of the law. At one time my attention was called by the American Federation of Labor to the number of seamen who are working in shipyards on the coast. When I made application for the purpose of going into the yards to ascertain if the immigrants were here illegally. I found shipyards had to close down because of the number of men who were found to be here illegally. The workers in question had come in under the seamens rights. they had come over as seamen. had come ashore under their rights as seamen. and remained here.
