THE REPORTS MAILED.
Documentary Evidence in the Camp
bell Case Now in Washington
TO SEND THE MEN BACK TO EUROPE
A List Of 45 of the Names of the Imported
Glass Workers.
THERE WILL BE NO SUITS ENTERED

The reports of United States District At
torney Walter Lyon and Immigrant In
spector Robert D. Layton in regard to the
charges against James Campbell, President
of the Window Glass Workers Associa-
tion, for violation of the contract labor laws,
were mailed to Secretary Window, Wash
ington, last evening. The papers will
reach the department tomorrow morning,
when the Secretary will act upon the matter.
As has been generally inferred, the reports
recommend that the glassworkers who are
now at Jeannette, and who were brought
here under contract, be sent back to Europe.
They came from England and Belgium,
and if the department at Washington act
upon the recommendation the men will
certainly be sent back.
This information was not explicitly cor
roborated by Messrs. Lyon and Layton, but
there is not now the least doubt about it.
The two officials have maintained digni-
and, when pressed, positively refused to say
anything. They preferred that the informa-
tion be given by the department through
the routine channels.
THE BLACKLISTED FoRTY-FIvE.
1t was also ascertained that accompanying
the report was list of the names of As of
the men who are alleged to have come here
under contract. The men came in three
parties, 26 at one time, IL at another and
at another. Their names were obtained
through the representatives of the Trades
Council who were sent to Jeanette to in
vestigate.
When asked for copy of the list yester-
day, Mr.. Lyon refused to furnish It,upon the
ground that the men would see their names
in The DISPATCH and Immediately de-
camp for other parts. When asked how
the department expected to get the men
back to Europe, he said:
81 do not say that my report to the de-
partment will be a recommendation to send
the men back; but if this is the case, 1 do
not think there will be any trouble. We
have their names, and it will only be neces-
sary to go to Jeanette and get the men.
They cannot attempt to deny that they are
the men wanted, as we have af6davits that
they were among the crowd brought over.
OF course many of them could escape by
leaving the place, but as we have their
is nothing to me whether the men 90 back
or not have fulflied INV duty. and the
have made are only in
accordance With the sworn testimonv.
Gt was rumored On the streets last evening
that the renorts would recommend that suif
be instituted against the President of the
others for bringing the men over. This is
not trne Tbere ia no Recommendation
whatevar To that effect as the neonle who
are nnsb;ng the case do not want to prose-
cute ANYBODY. In regard to this. President
Evans. of the Trades Council. said:
NOT AT ALL VINDIcTIvE.
"AII we want is that the men be sent back
to Europe and the Jobs they now hold be
Given to Americans. We do not care to
prosecute any members of the Window Glass
Association. for the reason that some people
would saw we are carving the matter too
far. Ali we want is to see that the laws are
observed. When we send the men back we
will be satisfied with the work done"
