CONSPIRACY IS ALLEGED Eleven New York. Manufacturers to Be Arrested Today" for Conspir acy to Violate the Con tract Labor Law. NEW YORK. SepL 24. After eight weeks of careful preparation the United State District Attorney of this district, will tomorrw, according to reliable au thority, cause the arrest of 11 heads of manufacturing concerns of this city on warrants charging them with , having conspired, through the medium of an em ployers' association, to violate the con tract labor law bythe Importation of foreign workmen. The penalty of con viction is a fine of not less than J1CC0 nor more than Jl 0,000 or Imprisonment for not more than two years. It Is understood that the Department of Commerce and Labor Is directing the prosecution and has through Its own agents, assisted by operators of the secret service, prepared the casw against the accused. This has Involved many months of Investigation and also the keeping, since January last, of four men, English tile-setters at Ellis Island. It is upon the evidence of these four men, backed by an array of corroborative depositions that the Government chiefly relies. The evidence in the case goes back to the lockout by the Tile. Grata and Man tel Association, an employers' organiza tion, of the men of the Mosaic Tile-Lay-era and Helpers' Union of New York and vicinity, August 6 of last year. To make the lockout a success. It Is charged, the employers association sent one of Its number to England and caused advertise ments to appear In papers in England and Germany, offering tile masons $5 per day for eight hours labor in the United States. Fifty workmen. It Is alleged, were Im ported to the United States at tho in stance of the 11 accused men and were Instructed to swear falsely when ques tioned at Ellis Island by the Immigration officials as to their reasons for coming to America, and especially to swear that they had as yet no employment In this country. It Is also said that the men were furnished with the address of one of the accused and ordered to report to him. Two weeks after the men were Import ed and the lockout began. It Is alleged, the accused caused the English workmen to be discharged, on the grounds that they were not familiar with American tools or the method of working in this coun try, and were therefore useless. Some of these men got home as best they could, but four of them carried their grievances to agents of the Department of Com merce and Labor and rendered Informa tion on which an Investigation was based. Since then they have been undor deten tion at the immigrant station oq Ellis Island. The men accused in the complaint which Is made by the Immigrant Inspector at Ellis Island are: Arthur T. Mart, of Mart & Law ton; Joseph W. Lantry, of "W. H. Jackson & Co.. president of the Tile. Grate & Mantel Association Employers Organization; Charles E.
