NEW YORK BANKS
MAY CHECK FOREIGN
EXCHANGE THIEVES
Evening World Exposures
AwakenS TEN to Enor-
nifty of Swindles Here.
By Martin Green.

Such appalling waste and loss-not
to mention downright thievery-at-
tends the transmission Of money from
foreign-born residents OF this country
TO relatives and friends in Eastern,
Central and Southern Europe that, Ia
Justice to the ignorant, creduIous inn
migrants who contribute the money
on this side and the starving. freezing
people who fail to receive II on the
other side, the business of handling
foreign exchange must be renrgan-
lied. Steps in that direction have
been taken. but little progress has
been made.
The Guaranty Trust Company has
opened a branch in Grand Street and
Is reaching out for foreign exchange
business in the heart OF a nest OF
agents, brokers and self-styled bank
ers, most OF whom are utterly ire
sponsible and outside the control of
the State Banking Department The
example of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany will doubtless be followed by
other great banking institutions when
II is established that there Is profit
in handling foreign exchange for the
poor and ignorant
Owing to the fact that the great re-
sponslble banks OF this city have
made no efforts to attract the custom
of the foreign born, the business of
transmission Of money to Europe in
small sums for the uses OF humble
people is monopolized by immigrant
bankers-some Of whom have large
credits and reliable agents abroad
and hordes OF agents and brokers who
have no credits abroad and accept
money without caring whether It ls
ever delivered or not AS The Eve
ming World has explained, the misery
and distress in Europe have touched
practically every foreign born person
in this country who has relatives or
friends there and the Outgo OF Amer
lean dollars has reached enormous
proportions.

The conferences OF the last few

THE remarks of Samuel Golnpers prcsi-
dent OF the American Federation OF
| Labor, in connection with his presentation
! of the petitions of that organization TO the
subcommittee on resolutions at the san
| Francisco convention, reflect Il spirit and
carnestncss OF expectation OF friendly
ception that is not misplaced. In its solicit
tide for the reasonable requests of labor
for fair treatment in the policies the party
will cspouse in its bid for support in the
coming election, ii is almost certain that
| the convention will not dsappoint the fed
Grafton in the constructive plank it will
present as solution for the problems that
give ii such grave concern
The convention is not unmindful OF the
interests which have made common cause
III misrepresentinS organized labor's atti-
tude toward the public welfare. in which
insidious propaganda has been actively at
work falsely representing this group as as
Stunning stand and deliver pose and
in that knowledge. we may be sure the
convention will address itself TO the CON
sideration of the petitions that have been
presented, unhampercd by prcjudgmcnt as
10 their merits by Il suspicion OF narrow
class motive, and, in enlightened and CON
cilintory counsel, will come TO agreement
on an outstanding declaration for human
rights, i'll which every interest Of both la
Dor and the public shall be amply safe
guarded.
This may. not mean the granting of all
that organized labor demands or the
methods it has proposed for the attainment
thereof, but, as its objective well-being is
meXtricabiy interlinked with that OF the
whole people, the broader policy of CON
serving the general good in the promotion
of equality of opportunity under just laws
guaranteeing to every individual the fruits
OF his own labor, will include every right
full interest which labor supports and will
be so accepted by that group as the earnest
OF n spirit that is truly sympathetic with
its aims and a frank attempt at forward
ing them.
In pursuing this course, the convention
Will adopt no new line OF policy, for in
the main. as Mr.. Gompers has pointed out
the proposals submitted by labor were the
same as those written into the Democratic
platforms OF 1905, 1912 and 1916 and
under the Democratic administration Of
l912 and 1916, TO whose election organized
labor contributed so potentially, the more
important Of these proposals have been
written into law, and under its benencent
operation iabor's cause has made phenomc-
l'al advance. Hence, in presenting its claim
for consideration TO the San Francisco CON
vcntion, the federation realizes that il APP
pears before its friends, and in the prom
iscs which that body may make it will re-
pose unlimited confidence.
