' ALIEN LABOR. LAW,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier introduced a hill
to amend the Act to ye,striele the im-
portation and employment of aliens.
He said •
""The leading featureof the sienend-
went which is neenteaed l•te thie
eels:tee:caw the tided section of the pre-
sent ,Act, white' provided for it petne
alty far violation of this Act,' of 61,000
no More and no 1e,95. The object of
the amendenent is to, make the penal-
ty not more. than $1,000 and not lees
than $50, giving .the judge disoretion
to apply the penalty aceordhig to the
°nonce. Then it is stated in the Aot
that the penalty 'is tit be •recottered'
only by the consent of the Attorney -
General. • We propose to modifythat
section: tind•to provide that the penal-
ty ahall•be reoovered with the coneent
either:of the .Attotney-General of. the

Abeta settler, that is to My, an, in-
tending settler, may 'bring with him
a relative or a personal. friend. . It
has been, found iti.practice that, thie
phrase 'personal friend' i too elastic
for practical purpeses, and that it May
be made tia occasion eor evading the
law; therefore, we /teepee° to strike
out the Words 'penonal
. "Section 6 of the said Act pravides
that if there hait been a 'violation- of
the Act, the party who has been intro-
duced into the country illegally shall

these words and to subetitute in lieu
thereof :-.'At the expense of the per-
son, partnership, 'company, or center-
ation, violating any • of the provisions
of section 1 of this Act."
Then it ha proposed to repeal sec-
tion 8 of the Act altogether, and to
substitute the following section there-
' • .
That it shall be deemed a violation
of this Ad for any person, partnarShiP
company, or corporation. to assist or
encourage. the importation or immi-
gration of any alien or foreigner, who
restdes hi, or is a citizen of, any for-
eign country, t� which this Act:shall

able in such ease. [Nothing in this
Act contained shall he held to al -
