VIOLATED LABOR LAW
PROMINENT MANUFACTURERS OF
new YORK ARRESTED.
Department of Commerce and Labor
Is Directing the Prosecution and Has
Fifty Workmen Were Imported From
England Under Contract.

New York. Sept. 26.-After eight
weeks of careful preparation the
United States district attorney of this
district has, according to reliable au-
thority, caused the arrest of IL heads
of manufacturing concerns of this city
on warrants charging them with hav-
ing conspired through the medium of
an employers association, to violate
the contract labor law by the importa-
ton of foreign workmen. The penalty
of conviction is a fine of not less than
$1,000 nor more than $4,000, or i'm
prisonment for not more than two
years.
1t is understood that the department
of commerce and labor is directing the
prosecution and has, through its own
agents, assisted by agents of the secret
service, prepared the case against the
accused This has involved many
months of investigation and also the
keeping, since January last, of four
men, English tile settlers, at Ellis ISL
and. 1t is upon the evidence of these
four men, backed by an array of cor
roborative dispositions, that the gov
eminent chiefly relies.
The evidence in the case goes back
| to the lockout by the Tile, Crate 81
Mantel association, an employers or
ganization, of the men of the Mosaic
& Caustic Tilelayers' & Helpers asso-
citation of New York and vicinity. on
August of last year. To make the
lockout a success, it is charged, the
employers association sent one of its
number to England and caused adver-
tisements to appear in papers in Eng
land and Germany offering tile masons
SIS per day for eight hours labor In
the United States.
Fifty workmen, it is alleged, were
imported to the United States at the
instance of the IL accused men and
we're instructed to swear falsely when
questioned at Ellis island by the i'm
migration officials as to their reasons
for coming over.
Fully approaching the enormous
wealth of the IL accused men, and
knowing a decision against them
would be fought through all the courts
to the supreme court of the United
States, the department of commerce
, and labor has decided that perfect
I. case must be prepared. This, it is be
lieved, has been accomplished.

ROUMANIA'S JAR WITH GREECE.
Minister Has Been Recalled From
Athens by Government.

Bucharest, Roumania, Sept. 25.-The
diplomatic rupture between Greece
and Roumania has been completed by
the departure of the Roumanian min
lister from Athens. The interests of
the Roumanians in Greece have been
entrusted to Italy, while the Russian
legation here will guard the interests
of the Greeks in Roumania.
The cause of the trouble is the refus-
al by Roumania of the demand of
Greece for compensation to those who
suffered by the pillaging of Greek
shops and the maltreatment of Greeks
during the recent demonstrations at
Bucharest and for satisfaction for the
burning of the Greek flag by demon
strators at Gurgervo. The Greek gov
eminent complains of the general in

st. Petersburg, Sept. 25.-The au-

effect that the Japanese are pursuing

The inhabitants of the southern por-
ton of the island are being forced to
emigrate and those of the northern
half are being plundered of their
houses, cattle and crops and must emf

on. AS an example of the extremity
