WASHINGTON, May IA. - Secretary
Foster has directed the collector of Gus
toms at New York to refuse entry of
goods in the name of the custom house
brokers or others who are merely con-
signees. unless they disclose upon the
entry the name of the ultimate con-
signee or purchaser, or file a certified
copy of the invoice by which settlement
for the purchase of the merchandise is
made, and disclose all the facts and cir
cumstances necessary to satisfy him
that the transaction is free from the taint
of fraud. The secretary in his letter
to the collector says: The re-
cent investigations concerning valuable
silks and other fine goods consigned to
a firm of customs brokers at your port,
as we'll as previous investigations of a
like nature, which show the existence
of double invoices, one at low prices in
francs for custom house purposes, and
the other prices nearly five times
greater in dollars and cents which is
forwarded to its ultimate consignee as
representing the actual purchase price.
When taken in connection with the fact
that the statements required by section
8 (of the act of June 10. 1890. were not
presented at the time of entry. and that
the merchandise was appraised at more
than 70 per cent in excess of the en-
tered value, indicate clearly that frauds
on the revenue are intended by such
questionable consignment; that prompt
and energetic measures must be taken
by the customs authorities to prevent

AFTER THE DIRECTORS,
Chicago Labor Organizations
Want Some Concessions.


CHICAGO, May 14.-The joint commit
tee on worlds fair met last night. A
committee was sent to the builders and
traders exchange to ask cooperation in
the request Of the directors to grant
minimum rate of wages. Another COM
mittee was selected to visit the promi-
nent and influential politicians of both
parties and enlist them on the side of
labor. Steps were also taken to call a
mass meeting of working people at Bat
terry ID, to which the fair directors are
to be invited. The International Labor
Congress association reported that
unless local labor bodies were fairly
treated, they stood ready to report to
the international labor congress soon to
be held at Brussels, and to the trades
union congress, soon to assemble in
London, these facts, and to start prac-
tical boycott. A resolution was adopted
to the effect that, ''if the directory re-
fuses to further confer with the labor
committee, we see no need of a So-called
labor representative on the directory,
and we ask Robert Nelson to step out.''
