Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 3, 1906, (In two parts), Part I

Chargé Wilson to the Secretary of State.

American Legation,
Athens , July 15, 1906 .

No. 417.]

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt yesterday of the department’s telegram.a

I communicated the substance of the above telegram to the minister of foreign affairs, as well as a copy of the alien contract labor law, for which he asked. Mr. Skouses said that he had talked with a number of the Greeks who had been deported, and all of them denied having made any contract before going to America. The complaints come almost entirely from Greeks who gave St. Louis as their destination, those going to other parts of the country having no difficulty.

I have, etc.,

Charles S. Wilson.
