THE PITTSBURGH DISPATCH. EEfflSSSp M&T . 16,,. 1890. 3. I yg MCIDED NOT GUILTY. budden Ending of the Famons Jean nette Glass Workers' Case. THE JUDGE CHARGES THE JURY In Such a Manner That They Bender an Immediate Verdict. HB DOESN'T BELIETE THE CASE PBOYED A large crowd was In attendance in the United Statei Court yesterday when the case of the Chambers and McKee Glass Com pany, James Campbell and William H. Slicker, cbargen with importing labor un der contract, was called. At 4:30 o'clock, without leaving their seats, the jury ren dered a rerdict of not guilty. It was charged that 43 giassworkers were brought here by the defendants under con tract made in England, and giTen work at the works of the Chambers-McKee Com pany, at Jeannette. The penalty for so bringing workmen into this country is $1,000 for each man, and the amount of the penalty sued for was the toll amount. This case was a test case, and involved only the bringing to this country of Charles P. Ford under contract made in Sunderland, En gland. The prosecution was represented by United States District Attorney Lyon, Assistant District Attorney Alcorn, General "Wil liam Blakely and VT. J. Brennen. Esq. The defen was represented by Messrs. Kcnnedr, Doty. Cotton and Holnian. Dis trict Attorney Lyon opened the case and laid down tbe law on the importation of foreign workmen. DEFENDANTS ON THE STAND. James Chambers, of Chambers A McKoe. was tbe first witness called. He was placed under tbe care of tbe Court as to questions tbat wonld make blm liable for any penalty, lie stated tbat between 700 and S00 men were employed about the worVs. They came from all parts of tbe country; some were from England. bat he never asked them where they were from. He knew Ford, and he was only at work about ten days tiben be was discharged. When tbeir works opened they could not get enough men In tbe United States, and advertised for some. The men from England arrived in April. Tbe witness bad a talk with James Campbell about tlio works andwliat attitude tbe Glassworkers' Association would take about their tank works. The witness did not know who paid for the transportation of the English workmen, but was certain bis firm had not, and no money was advanced by the company to pay for tbe trans portation of the men. James Campbell testified concerning the governing of assemblies of glas'workcrs in this country and Europe. He bad talked with Mr. Chambers, i dative to starting tlio works at Jeannette. The statement that he procured all the men In this country bo could, was truo. At a meeting ot tbe Executive Council, after the tacts as to the shortigo of workmen had liecn presented, ho was Inttrnctrd to nntiry nil branches of the Federation, of the fact. lis untitled Mr. blicker to notify tho assemblies. At tills time only SO men bad been obtained for tlieJeannetto work. TIIK LETTERS WRITTEN. William II. Wicker, President of tlio National Federation ot Window disss Workers, was called. Ho corresponded with Secretary Drown, of tho assembly of class workers at Hundcrland. England, and told blm tbero was room hero for 23 glass blowers. Ho did not know how tho men came to know men wero wanted at Jeannette. He did not know who paid the fare of the men to Jeannette. Noth ing was raid about compensation. Mr. Chain brrs had never emplorid him to do anything, and bo acted as President of bis association. Several of the English wnrkmon testified that they camo to Jeannette upon hearing that workmen were wanted there, but all stldthey pulil their own fare. Tho District Attorney then picked up tho copy of tho contract labor law, and read differ Mit sections of It. Ho said tbe law was a very broad one, and could bo lntcrpwted so tbat any inducement to foreign labor Aould boa viola tion, and that a formal or written contract was not necessary. He said that the theorj of tho prosecution was that the defendants did not directly enter into tbe contract, but did no In directly through tho asioclatlons which acted as aguutx. The Judge's oliarge to tho jury was soon flven, and, as stated above, the jury rendered is verdict wltbout leaving the room. TAKEN FB0M THE EEC0RD. hlenogrnplilc Extrneta From Iho Testimony Judge's Cbnree la Foil. The testimony of James A. Chambers, taken from tho stenographic report, is as follows: I reside in Allegheny City: am President of the Chambers d. McKee Glass Company, and am one oflbo defendants in this suit. Our works for the manufacture of window glass are located at Jeannette. Wo use what is called tbe continuous tank proccm. Wo have about 1:0 glassblnwera enplojed. Onr works wore started In May, 18S9. X'rlor to that time I was manufacturing glass in Pitts burg. We are employing men all the time. Thoy come from all over tlio country In j every uirecuon. it laKcs uu to euu men to operate our tanks at Jeannette. During the spring of 1SS9 we took on about 40 skilled work men. Most of them camo from Hundcrland, England. They all work niece work so much a box for certain sizes. Any glassblowcr can make Si or to a day. I don't suppoto there aro a dozen window glass workers in this country that are not members of the Glass Workers Federation. About six months prior to the time of commencing operations at Jeannotto I hid a conversation with Mr. Campbell. That talk was morclytn know what position tlio wlndon glass workers would tako if wo undertook to build those tank furnaces at Jcatinotto. Jt naturally Involved sn rxpendlture of a largo amount of money, 1 bo tanks that wo no In this now process aro veryexpctisUe. Wo have expended up thnro ilnsatna million dollars on our works. My Idea wn to put up tho finest works In tho vroiM, mid 1 bcllcro we liavo tbe finest window glass works in any country. WHAT COMMENCED TIIK TAMC. I beard considerable discussion among the ' wniktiien raising objection to these tanks, Tliey said tlio tank process meant over-production, ami over-production meant lowering of wsges, and I asked Mr. Campbell what position their people wero going to take if wo built these tanks, and whether their organization would refute to have their workmen work at the furnaces. The ordinary process for making window Class is to make it in crucibles, which are put in the f urnaLts, and then the glass made of sand. soda-aMi. etc., u tilled Into tho pots and goes through a molting process, which takes about 21 hours to melt the sand Into glass, which is then gathered ana blown into a cyl inder. In thi. way we get five blowings a week. l!y the continuous tank process wo have one largo fnrnaco al out YM foot long and about SO feet wide. Tbe batcn Is put Into tho furnace at tho back end and traels slowly down the furnace until It comes to tho other end, 130 feet from where it is put in. Ily this timo It is melted and In condition to blow and gather. By this process we aie constantly filling In at one end, and as continuously gathering and blowing at tlio other. A new shift of men Is put on ercry eight hours, except Sundays. The work with the new process is much the same as In tho old. SIB. CAMPBELL'S IMPRESSIONS. In my conversation with Mr. Campbell be said to me that while bo bad no authority to speak on the subject he did not bellevo the window glass workers were going to put themselves in opposition to this Improvement: that be be lieved the tank process was alt right, ana that w ben the time came be did not believe tbe men would refuse to work under tbis system. The window glass workers' organization is strong and formidable and I wanted to know what kind of an undertaking we were going jnio. wnit to expect, if tbey were going to op pose this thing. 1 would likely havo a pretty long and hard fight, and that was something I dldn t want. I bad enough to do in putting up my furnaces. In tbis conversation with Mr. Campbell I had no deflnlto understanding as to the employment of men. Subsequently, I had another conversation with him, irrwhlcu I told blm bow we were getting along and askod blm to state to his pcoplo tbat wo wan tod to employ men here, and Mr. Campbell replied all rictit, j win notify my people through our pre ceptors. In fact, I wrote a letter to tbe organ izailon and understood that Mr. OauipTiell was to let hi. people know Hut we wanted men. e procured a ifi'it ...... .... ... nothing like as many as wo wanted. We 'also S , Mfi ' i uo l"!Je"- Among otherr, the Ufastu-orXrer and Commoner, which is taken pretty largely by glassuorkcrs. X had ktcw conversations wltn Mr. CampbclL I ,- T "T - . l-"vii;iBi A IJ iu.u u.u. no woro in need of men. and must havo men. and he r.nii.H W will seo tbat you g them!" "&"& blm ways gave me the one answer: V We will get the men whenyon need them: we will try and see tbat you get them." - THE USUAL CUSTOM. It is a usual custom among glass manufactur ers, since this organization has been formed, and bas been for tho last eight years, to send to this organization and through them let tbeir men know. They know where they are and whether they want to change places. Of course we cet men onrselves. Ke always told me he would get the men, but did not say where tbey wonld come from. I wanted to ob tain the men in such a way tbat it would be perfectly satisfactory to tbis organization. These men from England arrived, I think, in April. 1SS9. The first I saw of them was at Jeannette. I did not meet tbem either at tbe depot in Pittsburg, nor at Jean nette, nor did I know they wore coming until I read in tbe paper tbat tbey had landed in, Bos ton. Mr. Moore is my manager. No member of our firm paid any portion of their transporta tion, nor was any sum deducted out of their wages to pay tor their transportation. There was only one letter passed between me and tbo labor organization, which notified them of our need of men. We paid for the newspaper ad vertisement which wo Inserted in the Commoner and Qlauworker. I conferred with Mr. Campbell solely as a representative of this organization. I did not employ Mr. Campbell to secure men for us, nor did I compensate bim in any way nor promise him anything for bis services, nor in any sense did I employ him to secure men for us. I simply conferred with blm as president ot tbis organization. OFTEN DONE BEFORE. I simply asked for these men because we needed tbem, as I bad done a hundred times before. This is the usnal practice among glass manufacturers. At first I went to him as a representative of this labor organization to ascertain bis opinion, tbe attitude of bis people as to this new tank process. I bad hadseveial fights with this organization and knew bow they could fight. I don't care so much about fighting as I used to. This tank process is com paratively a new process in tbis country. Ours are tbe first properly constructed contlnnous tank process tbat havo been erected in this country, and I regard them as tbe finest in the world. Testimony of James Campbell I reside in Pittsburg. In the spring of 1SS9 I was Presi dent of the Window Glass Workers' Organiza tion, which organization is composed of skilled workmen in the manufacture of window glass, and embraces in its local assembly every works in the United States, ana is a branch of the Knights of Labor. The organization is known as Local Assembly No. S00, K. of L. We have an international federation, with branches in Europe, which Is called the Universal Feder ation, the President of which is William blicker, of Pittsburg, and the Secretary Albert Delwart, of Charleon, Belgium. WHAT HE HAD LEARNED. At one time, about six months prior to the commencemen: of operations at Jeannette, Pa Mr. Chambers came to me on several oc casions and wanted to know tbe disposition of our men toward tbis new Industry. As Presi dent of this organization it was my dntyto visit its various branches scattered over the country, from Massachusetts to Wyoming Territory, ana I learned on my rounds that some opposition had been aroused against this new continnons tank process, and tbat in some places workmen had been advised to strike against its introduction into this country. Hearing of this rumored opposition, Mr. Chambers came to mo to ascertain mv views prior to Invest ing his capital in this new enterprise. I told blm that I believed tho-sontltncnt of the mora intelligent portion nf our organization would be such that he would bo able to secure all tho men he needed. This conversation took placo some tlmo prior to tho starting of bis works. Subsequently Mr. Chambers several tiroes askod mo if we wero getting his men, to which I ropllod: "You will se cure enougl' men to run your works," In accordance with Mr. Chambers' request, we notified our various organizations, through tbeir preceptors, that Chsmbors A McKoe needed men at Jeannette. After scouring tlio country most thoroughly we were ablo to secure fight or ten men, but in so doing causod soveral vacancies at otbor establishments. This search for men was not alone for Chambers A sicKoe, out for soveral otucr establishments lu tho Unltod States, NEVER TALKED WITH THEM. During this soarch for men 1 had no conversa tion with Chambers and McKco as to our method ot securing men. A meeting ot tho Executlvo Council was called, and It was de cided that there was a shortage of skilled work men In this country, and it was decided that I should notify the proper officials of tbe Feder ation of this shortage. This decision was unanimous. In accordance with my Instruc tions I notified Mr. Slicker, President of the Federation, tbat there was a shortage of men in this country. Mr. Chambers camo to me, as a representative of tlio organization, and wo endeavored to supply them with men as we would any of tue raanujactttrers wnen requested, j don't re member ot having any talk on tbe subject after i notincu air. nucKr ot tins snortago. x never acted as agent for Mr. Chambers; never re ceived any compensation for tny services, ncr was I ever promised an) thing lor what I did. I don't remember whether Mr. Chambers' let ter was addressed to, mo personally, or as president of tho organization, bat I do know that bit conversations were with mo as Presi dent of the Window Glassworker's Associa tion. William Slicker, President of the Universal Federation, was next called on behalf of the Government. In answer to Mr. Lyon ho said: 1 am a glass cutter in tbe employ ot Chambers & McKee. and resldo at Jeannette. I am also 1'rtsldent ot the Universal Federation of Glass Workers. Do ;ou know whether or not you have a branch at Sunderland, England 7 A les, sir; of which Mr. Brown Is secretary, Q. Did you havo any correspondence with bim as secretary during 18SBT A. Yes, sir: I have correspondence with him right along, eve ry two or throe weeks. Q. I wish jou would state whethor or not you evor bad any correspondence with bim with reference to emplojinc men at Sunderland, to be sent to tbo United States f A. No, sir; none in that respect. Cj. What was tho subject of the correspond, enco 7 A. Tbero was a shortage of men In this country. I know what the letter contained. It stated that thcro was a shortage In this country and men could not be secured, although we had applied to every peremptory in the United Stales. 1 did not state tho exact placo at which they wore wanted, but stated that 23 gatherers and 23 blowers could get cniploymont bore. JIOW nit KNEW IT. CL When did you first know or tbo mon com ing hero? A. On tho receipt of a cablegram from Mr. llrown, tho secretary, CL. How wero tbo won Informed, in England, tbat thoy woio wanted In this country? A.I don't know that. All 1 know It the tolegram stutod that the men woro coming, A copy or the telegram I have not got. It Is generally under stood that when one ot our member goes from ono country to anotbor ho works tor ttiu wages regularly paid and under the usages of tbe country which ho works In, After receiving tbe telegram I Informed Mr. Moore that there would bo plenty of men, I thought, when thoy started to work. When thtae men camo over, tho first I saw or them was when iliey caiue to me at the mill and saw mo. I then went to tbe Lake Erlo depot and from there aocumpanlod them to Jeannette and socurod tbem boarding houses. They wero af terward hired by Mr. Moore, I never bad a conversation with Mr. Chambers about Im porting any glass workers from Europe, nor with Mr. Moore. 1 know Charles Ford only worked for Chambers A McKeo a abort tlmo before be was discharged, for thero was uo contract as to bow long he was to be employed. I knoir that. Ha works notr & a "innri." hnnj noyeu, ' hand about tho works. AT IT ONCE MOKE. Testimony of George Cake, Secretary of tbo Glass Workers' Association: Q. Havo you tho letter sent by Mr. Chambers to L. A. 3007 A Not here; I might possibly find it, how ever, at tho office. That letter was addressed to James Campbell, President, or to "Tho Window Glass Workers' Association." It was received by tho association during tho woek of January 4. lbD, and read to tbo meeting of tho Pittsburg pretcptory. It was referred for action to tbe Executive Council. (- Was there any subsequent action taken ou that letter? A. On February 14. 1889, tho President was Instructor to visit the veveral prcceptorles throughout the United States, and ascertain if there were any available men tbat might be brought to Jeannette. ti. Wbeu was the next action taken? A Iherewasno further action taken on it. Wo had an assembly meeting April 19, at which tbe m?.tterr was discussed. At that meeting tbe following letter was received frni President Campbell. Here Mr. Cake read a letter from Mr. Campbell giving a history of the glass situation from January, 1S82. It was filed. U, I WlSh you WOUld Statu hnnr rni. I,rnni.l,t this matter to the attention of the President of ft? 'J?1. Feleratloii. Mr. Sllckor. A. I did not bring it to Mr. Slicker's attention 1 dorvU know how It was brought to his attention. Cross-examined by Mr. Kennedy April IB was the date of tho last action you took on tbis matter? A. That was tbe date of Mr. Campbell's letter. A meeting was held tbat Friday evening. SOMETHINO TET UNISEAD. Q, Have you read all tbe minutes you have in reference to this case? A No, sir. We bad a meeting May 8. Q, What occurred at tbat meeting? A. My minutes read as follows: "Council record nf Hay 9. "The proposition submitted by Messrs. Blskeley and McQaw to bave tbe Information quashed and Ter. diet stayed Jn the case ot tho United States against Chambers A McKee, Campbell and others for tbe sura of $5,000." Mr. Lyon Stay a moment. If Your Honor please, we object He bss stated tbat this meeting was oa May 9 since this suit was brought, and it is not proper evidence in the present issun. By Mr. Kennedy Wo want everything to come out We have nothing to conceal. Mr. Lyon There Is no disposition on the part of the Government to prevent any proper evidence being brought beforo tho jury, but if tbe witness will submit tbe minutes of the meeting Jo His Honor. I think he will readily e.uitiua uuwa oraer at tnis time. Here Mr. Cake submitted tbe minutes to Judge McKennan, who said: '-Well, that cer tainly has a good deal of significance with the court, but I can't say that it has with regard to the matter beforo the jury." , u HEARD BY A WITNESS. Henry M. Billiten. tho next witness, testified that in the spring ot 1S89, while at Jcanette at tending a sale ot lots he overheard Mr. Cham bers telling Mr. Heller, in a joking wav, that, when his works were completed he intended to import glass blow ers to operate them. William Cnnniogham, Hr ono of the men who came from Sunderland, was then called by the Government In answer to Mr. Lyon be f aid: He was a glassblower, and had lived at Jeannette since April. IS59, leaving Sunderland March 29, 1SS9. He attended a meeting of the Sunderland assembly about a fortnight before leaving. He purchased and paid for his ticket and tbat of his son, paying 10 3s. for them. He mortgaged his home to raise the money. Q. What did you do wbenou arrived in Pittsburg? A. I went to see Mr. Slicker at bis works. After I saw bim I knocked about town until we started for Jeannette. Q. Who paid your fare to Jeannette? A I paid tho fare of myself and son. Q, Did you have any understanding about wages before you started? A Not a thing; 1 knew they were building the works here, and I knew the men wero getting more than wo were and we thought it advisable to come ane risk it Q. How did you know that? A Becauso we were short ot work in England, and they were running full in America. William Cunningham, Jr., corroborated bis father's testimony. WHAT nE WAS TOLD. Isaiah Clark, a glass worker in tbe employ of Chambers A McKee, was tben called by tbe Government and stated that at a meeting of bis lodge in Bellefonto, beforo his coming here, be bad a conversation with James Campbell In regard to tbe tank process, in which the latter held tbat it was better tor us to favor it as it was an improvement and something progres sive man to make trouble. James Smith, the next witness, stated tbat be bad come from Sunderland, England, and bad gone to work for Cunningham's, but would not admit tbat be bad come over under contract Charles Ford, the snbjectof the present suit next took tbe stand, but denied in toto, upon a most stringent examination by Mr. Lyon, that he had any understanding with anyone pre vious to his leaving England, as to what he was to do In America, or tor whom be was to work. He bad paid bis own fare, and bad no under standing until be was hired by Mr. Moore, tbe manager at Chambers' works, when he reached Jeannette. James Campbell was tben recalled by Mr. Lyon and examined In regard to tho statement he had raado and sworn to beforo Mayor Mc Callln about a year ago. He admitted that the statement was correct Mr. Lyon then offered in ovldeneo all the articles read by Messrs. Campbell and Cako. By tho Court For what purposo are they offorod? Mr. Lyon To prove that these declarations wero mado by Mr. Campbell, who Is a dofendant in this case. By tho Court Havo they anything to do with tho allegation that Charles Ford was brought over hero from England under a contract made bv these neonln? Uy Mr. Lyon Well, I guess It Is admlttod that Ford camo over with tho rest of thorn. By the Court Hut you don't show that they came over under contract DIDN'T THINK IT NEOESSAItY. Mr. Lyon It Is not necessary, aa I tako It, to show tbat a contract was mado, If you ahow that an Inducement was held out to theso pco plo to como to Jeannette. By tbo Court It all rests upon tho doclared illegality of a contract to Induce these people to come here. A person may go any place, and by fair argument induco any person to como to this country. Mr. Lj on The act of Congress under which tho information Is made, reads: "Section 8 That for everr violation of tbe provisions of section 1 of this act which prohibits those Im portations the parson, partnership, company or corporation violating the same, by knowing, ly assisting, encouraging or soliciting tbo migration or importation ot any alien or aliens, foreigner or foreigners. Into the United Statos, its Territories or tho District of Columbia, to perlorm labor or scrvlco of any kind under contract or agreement, express or Implied, parol or special, with such alien or aliens, foreigner or foreigners, previous to becoming residents of tbe United Stttes, shall forfeit and pay for each such offenso the sum of 1,000, Which may be sued for and rocovered by the United States, or by any other person who shall bring bis ac tion therefor, including any such alien or for eigner who may bo a party to any such con tract or agreement, as debts of like amount are now recovered In the Circuit Courts of the United States; the procoeds to be paid Into tho Treasury of the United States; and separate suits may be brought tor each alien or foreigner being a party to such agreement or contract aforesaid. And it shall be the duty of tho Dis trict Attorney of the proper district to prose cute every such suit at the expense of the United States." SUDDENLY INTEUBUPTED. Now, If lour Honor will notice, thoro is evi dence hero which, from beginning to end, shows an Implied contract It shows that an induce ment wai held outto these men. It By tbo Court Do you think the Congress of tho United States bas power to punish a man as a criminal who shall adviso another to go from ono ennntry to another In order to hotter bis condition? If you do. then you must hold tbat tbe Legislative branch of the Government lias a right to do what is & plain, out-and-out infraction of tho Coustitutlon of tbo United States. Mr. Lyon The theory of tho case is that Chambers A McKoo indirectly entered Into a contract with theso pcoplo through a sorleaof agencies. ltv tha Court But you have proven bvall tho witnesses called on behalf ot tho Government that tbey didn't make any contract at all. Do you moan to ask Iho Court to Instruct tho Jury to find a verdict BEalnst tho defendants In tho facoofthli? . . Mr. Lyon Wo have noror charged that thero was anything of that kind. We undertake to provo that by subterfuges, nnd in an indirect manner, and through tho agency of this organ Itttlun, tbey havo untie that which tho law says piriieulnrly thoy cannot do In ponon, and wo hold tbat when thoy authorized these agents to do a thing which la Illegal, they are ni liable aa it tbey bad done It thomsolves. ily tho Court Yet you attempt to provo It by the people who swear themselves that thero waa nothing nf th,o kind. Do you think there Is any crime In one porson'i advising Another to como to this country In Order to better hit con dition? SUES NO CIIIM11 IN IT. Mr, Lyon Well, morally there may not boa crime, but Ily the Court No, thero li no crime la it either morally or legally. No, air. " Mr. Lyon Well, It may not be a erlmet It simply provides for thp forfeiture of 1,000 In each offense of Its kind. Ily the Court It is a quasi criminal penalty, I don't think thoy have reached the point of de claring that a crime In the United States yet I don't think they navo como to hold that a per son advising a friend that his condition would bo Improved by coming hero is guilty ot n crime. 1 don't seo, in this case, tbat Congress has assumed to lay ft penalty for that Mr. Lyon Wo have simply charged tbem with doing, Indircotly, what thoy could not havo dono directly. By tbe Court Well, tben. In the faeo of the direct testimony of all the witnesses against such a conclusion. It would bo asking tbe jury to strain their consciences to find tbat theso people wero Imported under contract express or implied as I said botore in the faco ot tbo testimony of witnesses producod by tbo United Stales Itself. Mr. Lyon Don't Your Honor think that there is an implied contract 7 DOESN'T BELIEVE THEHK IS. By the Court I don't bellevo there is, if tbo witnesses aro to be believed, and tbat would ba putting a pretty strong draft upon the jury to ask them to find tbat tbe witnesses were not worthy of belief. I suppoio theso men have been given a pretty fair reason and woro cer tainly under tbo impression that they would better their condition by coming to this coun try. In coming here tbey know tbat here was a new enterprise- to be started which would furnish steady employment and. as theso men say themselves, they can earn better wages here than in England. Was there any tuch a construction placed upon tho act of Congress, by Congress itself, making this a crime? Mr. Lyon Judge Wallace bas so interpreted the act I believe- By the Court While we havo great respect for Judge Wallace, still we aro not bound by that decision. I don't think tho Supreme Court will nlaco that construction on the act, and until it does, there Is still room for different opinions by other courts. STATED IN THE ACT. Mr. Lyon Woll other courts have decided the question and thoy all seem to follow In the wake of Judgo Wallace. Tho act is certainly broad, and in order to prevent tbo construction you mentioned first as to a friend Inducing a friend, etc, it states la tbe fifth seotlout "Pro vided that nothing in this act shall be con. strued as prohibiting any Individual from as- ststtng any member of bis family or any rela tive or personal friend to migrate from any foreign country to the United States, for tbe purpose of settlement here." Tho first part of section 1 reads: "It shall be unlawfnl for any person, company, partner ship or corporation in any manner whatsoever to prepay the transporta tion, or in any way assist or encourage the im portation or migration of any alien or aliens," etc "Or in any way assist or encourage. Now, the proviso at tbe end of section 5 cer tainly means something, and it certainly must rerer to tbat part of the first section which pro hibits any person or corporation prepaying tbe transportation or in anyway assisting or en couraging the Importation of any foreigner, etc" It seems to me tbat nearly all other courts bave followed in the wake of Judge Wallace WHAT WASN'T PBOVED. By the Court Yes. bntlu that case there waa an undisputed contract Here, you havo proved that there was nothing of the kino. Mr. Lyon If that is tho interpretation of Yonr Honor, I suppose thero is nothing further for me to do then. By tho Court I don't think there Is any di vision in this court Mr. Lyon. Mr. Lyon I believe tbat Is all tbe evidence wo have to offer and we are willing to rest our case upon it By the Court Has tbe defense anything to say? Mr. Kennedy TVs havo nothing to say further than tbat we would ask the Court to non suit or instruct the jury to render a verdict for the defendants. I think tho better way would be to render a verdict for the defendants. CHARGE OP THE JUDOE. By the Court Gentlemen of the Jury: You bave beard tho testimony in this case. In the view that the Court takes of tho meaning and proper construction of the act of Congross, i: is necessary that a contract should be es tablished as having been made between some persons here or elsewhere, or representatives of parties in this eountry by which a foreigner or alien engages to perform certain labor in this country. If a person does that either directly or indirectly, or. as tho act of Congress expresses It by contract express or implied, then he is subject to a penalty of $1,000. which can be re covered by suit such as is brought here. It is charged in this declaration tbat this arrange ment or contract was made with a man named Ford. By Charles Ford an other persons named In this suit It is, therefore, necessary, to en able the plaintiff to recover, that the essential ingredients ot the violation described in the declaration should be described to tbe satisfaction of the jury. It is substantially a criminal prosecution. It indi cates tbe doing nf certain things, and, among othero, tbo making of a contract for service to be performed or rendered in this country by an alion, and bringing him here under such ar rangements, and If ho violates that provision ot tho Constitution, and makes auch a contract and brings bim here to perform such labor, he is subject to a penalty of 1,00a A DIRECT QUESTION. Now, havo you any evidence that would jus tify you In finding that that essential ingredient of tbe violation of this act has been estab lished? Has it been shown that theso defend ants have mado any contract in violation of tbe act of Congress. Perhaps it grew out of the necessities oi tne situation mat tno unvorn mentwas compelled to call upon tho people who wero alleged to have mado tbe contract to provn that this act was violated. They bave been driven to call unon tbo defendants them selves and the poople alleged to have been brought hero, to provo that such a contract was made before thoy came. Have tbey dono It? Why. strango to say, no.
