Identification Was Useless.

Marks of Quincy, Mass. who was in
the city Saturday on his way to his
home after attending the American
Federation of Labor convention in
Montreal, was much peeved at the
fact that the immigration officers de-
tanned him at st. Adams until he
could cash a check to pay an IS head
tax and detained several children. This
latter fact caused him more concern
because they had to wait for money
from their parents in Massachusetts
than the fact that he was left alone and
detained there. He said if he had a
birth certificate of his own or some,
body else's he could have come along,
but all the other Identification he had
was useless and he had plenty of it.
He stated he was going to take the
matter up with that department and
men of influence in Massachusetts.
