WorkinRmen.

New YORK, May PA Washington de-
spstch says that gentleman who has official
knowledge states that Herr Most, the labor agi-
tator, is an imposter and traitor to the ele-
ment he pretends to champion. When in the
various cities of this country he was the guest
of different labor organizations, receiving
money in many ways for his support, this
gentleman says that Most met certain officials
Of the Austrian government upon one occasion
and deliberately made bargain for stipula-
ted price to be paid in money to betray sll the
secrets of the workingmen's party in Europe
with which he was associated His services as
an informer were accepted and he turned over
to the government the papers, documents and
other Information relative to the Socialist par
ty. A show was made Of putting Most IN pIis'
on to throw the public, and especially hia
party, off their guard, and he was kept III jail
five weeks and let go with his ill-gotten gold
1t is alleged further that Most was not high
priced villain and did not charge much for ms
treachery. He then proceeded to France and
then to England, posing as the champion OF
the laboring people, and, it is alleged betray
ing them for money in other countries as he
did in Austria
