IN LABOR CIRCLES

John w. Hayes, general master work
man Of the Knights of Labor. in the cur
rent issue Of the Journal. official organ
of the organization, deals with criminal
immigrants and Labor fakirs'
AS to undesirable immigration, he says:
1.-The question of immigration is Of vast
importance to wage earners. The ex-
clusion of undesirables would seem to be
but fair to all the people of the United
States. AS the law is now there is vir-
tually no exclusion OF immigrants, except
a few who show evident signs of disease
or the small number who are known and
proved to be criminals.
New York is the port at which nearly
all the foreign immigrants enter. How
many come in every year we know. but
how many are good, honest folk trying
to better their condition in the land Of
the free is a mystery that is never solved.
What is the number of the very I'M
desirable is also mystery. The number
of criminals and unfortunates who are
unable to support themselves is also un-
known"
Speaking Of so-called labor fakirs." "
Mr.. Hayes declares:
"All kinds of schemes for getting money
have been invented, but the scheme that
brings the quickest results is that of the
poor mouthed labor fakir who worms his
way into the presence Of business men,
politicians and friends Of labor, and tells
a we'll rehearsed story for money to re-
plenish the general fund.- to establish a
bed in a hospital to help the widows and
Labor day editions. etc, any one of which
is intended to reach the tender spot OF the
intended victim.
.'The Order of the knights of Labor he s
no person out collecting for any of these
objects, and the good friends IF labor
who give up thinking their money Is
going to be used for the particular pur-
pose for which 1t was solicited, can now
understand that it simply enriches the in
dividual to whom it was given
These fakirs do not ca . in what form
the money comes: if by check, they forge
the name of the person to whom it is
made payable, and cash 1t In a friend s

sidered too small.
Until yesterday the Laborites had a

but after this he would weaken and the
Laborites would make a strong finish.
But such was not the case. He pitched
the full game and was the master of
the situation throughout.
Drummer, the crack shortstop of the
Commerce and Labor team, made his first
error of the season yesterday. 1t was
too bad for It could have been avoided
had he not been too anxious to retire a
runner at first. 1t happened when Nc
Donough hit one down to him that could
not be called anything else but a hit, but
he thought he had chance to retire the
batter. His throw to first went wide and
the runner continued to second. If he
had held the ball he would have got
away with a clean slate for the season in
fielding.
The Navy boys only bad fielding hap

made four tallies. With a lead Of seven
runs they tried to retire men At the plate

the batter at first. This sort of play
gave the Laborites several runs, as all
