CONTRACT LABOR AND EXCLUSION LAWS

In general, the contract must be valid in the place of its performance.
Where a booking agency conducting a business from its headquarters in Chicago, had contracted to provide troupes for theatres in Tennessee, it was held that since it had not complied with the laws of that state, it could not recover, as performance was held to be within that state.219
Section 65. — Contract labor and exclusion laws.
Under the Federal statutes a contract made with an alien to perform labor or services within the United States or its territories previous to the immigration or importation of such person into the United States is void, and any person, firm or corporation which assists or encourages such immigration or importation is guilty of a crime and
is subject to heavy penalties
Supp. 593. The contract between the parties provided that: “In case of a dispute, both contracting parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the Vienna courts.”
Held that such provision was not exclusive, and that the courts would not look with favor upon attempts to oust them of jurisdiction.
“It is entirely plain that such agreements should be strictly construed and should not be extended by implication.”
