Farley, in whose Democratic | Club witnesses have said gamblers op- erated their gimes three years ago, appeared before a subcommittee of the Legislative City Investigating Commit- tee today but refused to answer ques- | tions. Today's hearing was a private ses- sion and it was learned that Sheriff Farley took the position that if the investigators wished to question him they could do so in public. He was given a subpoena calling on him to ap- pear again Monday when Samuel Sea- bury, chief counsel of the committee, will be present.

Some of the most desperate criminals of Europ> gain illegal admission to the United States through tricks of the immigration racketeers, Assistant Sec- retary of Labor Garsson says. Once here they ares responsidle for much of American crime—perhaps 50 | per cent of all the crime which con be traced to persons of foreign birth, he believes They come for two reasons— first, their own countries are too hot to hold them, and, second, because the opportunitics for glrofluble criminal activity are greater here. It must not be assumed, Mr. Garsson insists, that all who enter the United States mexnll;‘ are criminals. Many are honest, hard-working men and women who resort to the tricksters or the smugglers because they are hungry in their own lands and are impatient with the length of time required to get on the quota or because they are barred by some physical defect. Once here— except that they are likely to take jobs away from American citizens—they lead blameless lives and often are more of an asset to the country than their more fortunate countrymen who enter under the quota. The present investigation | has revealed hundreds of just such| persens. Crime Record Bars Entry. But, Garsson says, it is obvious that if an alien criminal comes ta the United States at all, he must come outside the law. If he has a criminal record, he | cannot get on the quota. The man with a shady past usually is most anxious to | get away from his old haunts and hence | | will exert the greatest efforts to get to | the new country. Furthermore, it re- | quires a great deal of money—at least | from the point of view of the European peasant—to get here by trickery or| emuggling. This usually must be sup- | best customer of the immigration rac- | keteer is the rich bootlegger or gang- ster.

Probably the | racketeer has taken from his American | relatives their last cent as the price of his admittance. They may have mort- gaged their home. He is under obliga- tion to pay them back. Besides, he is | at the mercy of the racketeer, who | threatens to turn him over to the au- | thorities unless he pays regular tribute. | Often more is demanded than he legiti mately can earn. He literally is forzed | to go wrong to meet his obligations and | to stay in the United States. Criminal Carefully Protected. ‘The subject of crime and the i | aZmitted alien, Garsson says, | of the most obscure which has been the club | touched upon by the present investi- | gation. He is unwilling to bring a blanket indictment, since it is 5o dif- | ficult to arrive at the facts. The crim- | inal is the most carefully protected of any of his class.

The obvious conclusion is that they have been smuggled from some« where. If this is the case, Garsson says, knowledge of the character of the smugglers can lead to no other con- clusion than that the girls are held in virtual slavery, There is little pos- sibility that they ever can escape from the life to which they have been doomed with the racketeer demanding a large share of their earnings as the price of his silence. The racketews do not turn up their noses at small pickings. A girl was recently picked up who had been smug- gled into the United States and em- ployed as a _domestic. She had to pay $2 a_week, practically the last cent she could spare, to the gang who had brought her here. The agreement was to run for two years.

Then he was arrested, and the rac- keteer promptly forgot all about him.
