Boston 'Herald', Sunday - When Placide LANDRY left St. John, N.B. for Sommerset, Conn., it was with the opinion that there would be no trouble in landing upon reaching Boston. Mr. Landry has been coming into this country every spring for the past 15 years, with a more or less definite idea of where work was and what wages he was to receive. He had also returned to New Brunswick every fall, may times with the assurance that if he would return about the first of April there would be plenty of work for him right straight through the season. This time, however, notwithstanding that he had a letter from George L. Bullard, promising him and four others work in a quarry in Somerville, at the standard rate of wages, there was a hitch in the programme and Mr. Landry is now detained aboard the "Cumberland", where he will remain until the emigration officers shall decide whether or not he is violating the alien contract labor laws.
