Canadian Labor Ruling Opposed by Department Immigration Officers Think Law is Jeopardized by â€" _ Decision of Court Washington â€" Immigration officials of the Department of Labor feel that the issue between the United States and Canada. over the admission of commuting Canadian workers is not settled by the decision just made by the Supreme Court. It can be said on the highest auâ€" thority that the chiefs of the immiâ€" gration service feel that the court‘s ruling was on a technical point and that the efficacy of the immigration law would be jJeopardized if the issue were to be held in abeyance. A new test of the Iaw is expected shortly in Q'c'ase that will clear up the matter or else congressional action that will accomplish the same purpose. The Supreme Court refused to reâ€" view decisions of a lower court inâ€" volving the passage of Canadian citiâ€" zens for business purposes over the international boundary. _ The lower court held that the Canadians con-; cerned, who were employed in the United States, and crossed the borâ€" der daily, were "nonimmigrants" un‘ der Section 3 of the Immigration Act of 1924, and that under the Jay Treaty of 1794 they were privileged to cross and recross the border for the purpose of business and comâ€" merce. | The contention of tie Department of Labor is that Europeans who have come to Canada and taken out naâ€" turalization papers are not "Canaâ€" dians," in the interpretation â€"of the United Staes immigration law, but come under the quota provisions of their country of origin. The department makes no denial ofl the right of nativeborn Canadians to unrestricted passage back and forth across the border. _ At the back ot| their strong opposition to the present, ambiguous condition, is the apprehenâ€", sion that increasing numbers of Eum-E peans will settle along the border and work in the United States, under" their asserted Canadian status. l "Bridegrooms are usually shy," says a woman M.P.â€"â€"They realize they‘ve said too much. realize thoy‘ve| marriage," says a woman writer, But who was responsible for the rage. | Lloyd‘s List (London): The posiâ€" enial ofl tion has become serious not only for lians to shipowners but for Australian exportâ€" d forth ers too, for in the present competiâ€" back of tive state of the world‘s markets it is present!essential that costs should be down pprehenâ€"| to the minimum.
