The Daily Chronicle Elyria Ohio Nov. 8, 1902 TO PROHIBIT EMIGRATION The Hungarian Government is preparing to pass a law. Vienna, Nov. 8 The Hungarian government has introduced in the reichstag an emigration reform bill of sweeping character. One of the main provisions of this bill strikes a heavy blow at the North Atlantic steamship lines by empowering the government to route emigrants through the Hungarian port of Fiume. Up to the present time Hungarian emigrants have sailed chiefly from Hamburg, Bremen, Rotterdam and Antwerp, and last year a total of 70,941 Hungarian emigrants left these ports. The prospective loss to the German and other steamship lines sailing from the ports mentioned is likely to be even greater because Austria is now preparing a bill similar to the one introducerd by Hungary by which it is expected to send Austrian emigrants through Trieste. The Hungarian bill specifically prohibits the emigration of certain classes of people, including men who have not performed military service, parents who leave behind them children under the age of 15 years of age and persons without adequate traveling money or whose expenses are paid by foreign states or colonization societies. Under the bill, the government can forbid emigration to certain countries entirely and it can prevent the emigration of certain classes of artisans ewhen this is deemed expedient. chery BALOG wenberg
