2d Session I No. 874
TO CLARIFY THE. APPLICATION OF THE CONTRACT-
LABOR PROVISIONS OF THE IMMIGRATION LAWS TO
ACTORS
MARCH 6, 1934.-Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed
Mr. SCHULTE, from the Committee on Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 3674]
The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, to whom was
referred the bill (H.R. 3674) to clarify the application of the contract-
labor provisions of the immigration laws to actors, having. considered
the same, reports it to the House without amendments, and recom-
mends that the bill do pass.
Section 2 of the bill exempts from the contract-labor provisions of
the immigration laws alien actors living abroad who seek to enter the
United States, while under contract to appear as actors in the United
States, and who claim exemption from the contract-labor provisions
on the ground that they are professional actors or artists or
singers , provided that, as actors, the individual applicants here-
after for this exemption, are actors of distinguished merit and
ability and also provided that as actors their professional engage-
ments within the United States are of such a character requiring
superior talent. This does not have anything to do with actors who
are residing within the United States at the time a contract is entered
into which requires professional appearances while the actor remains
within the United States.
Under section 1 of the bill, all other alien actors who are not
exempted by section 2 of the bill are made subject to exclusion from
the United States as contract labor if they are residing abroad and
seek to enter the United States, while under contract to appear as
actors m the United States if such contract is entered into while the
alien actor is still residing abroad. This does not concern alien actors
who are residing within the United States at the time a contract is
entered into which requires professional appearances while the actor
remains within the United States.](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.blasports/clrfapp0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
