U.S. IMMIGRATION LAW.
ANOTHER CASE OF HARDSHIP. WOMAN'S CHILD EXCLUDED. Australian, and N-Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 3.47 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 81. The harsh and unjust working oi: the immigration restriction law has been again demonstrated. A young Belgian woman who was living with her husband in Chicago recently made a trip to Belgium to bring back their eight-year-old boy, who was born in Belgium. The husband had already announced his intention to become an American citizen. The | woman and son arrived at New York on June 30, 210 minutes before the end of the fiscal year, under which the 1922 quotas are reckoned. The Immigration Board has ruled that the son cannot be admitted nnder the 1922 quotas and must return to Europe and come to the United States to be admitted under the 1923 quota for Belgians. That- the woman hud already lived in the United States made no difference in the case of her son. She could have been admitted alone, but her son would have to be sent back to Belgium.
