deportation of violators oi! the contract
labor laws has been ordered by the De

three persons, either contract laborers or
dependents, who came to this country
under an tUleged unlawful arrangement
with the Firth Carpet Company, located
at Firthcliff. X. Y-. have been ordered to
be returned to their homes In England
and Scotland.
The cases of many others are now
under consideration but no final dispo
sition has been made of them. The De
partment of Justice has prosecution of tlie
Firth Carpet Company for violation of
the contract labor laws under advisement.
It was charged in a report to the
Department of Commerce and Labor
last June that the Firth Carpet Com
pany had violated the contract labor
law. The Department in a statement
today says that after the examination
of various employes of the concern, it
was convinced that wholesalo impor
tations jot laborers had been effected.
In course of the examination some half
dozen aliens arrived in New York, all
destined to Firthcliff. They were or
dered deported. Subsequently on the
report of the investigating officers. 88
persons were ordered arrested. They
Included contract laborers and their
immediate families.
Firthcliff is a small village in
Orange County, New York. Practically
the only industry is the Firth Carpet
Company, employing about 600 men.
The president and the principal owners
are said to be Englishmen identified
with similar concerns in Great Britain.
A large percentage of the employes
are experienced tapestry workers who
have received their training in Eng
lish and Scotch carpet mills. The De
partment claims in its statement that
the books of the company show that
from 1302 to 1908 over $4410 had been
advanced to aliens to enable them to
migrate to Firthcliff.
RELIEF HIT BY TYPHOON
Hospital Ship Slightly Damaged, but
Reaches Port Safely.
MANILA, Nov. 25. Admiral Sperry to
day received a telegram from the hos
pital ship Relief, five ' days overdue at
Guam, for which port she sailed from
this harbor. November 15, the message
coming by way of Sorsogon, in South
ern Luzon, and stating that the ship
was badly damaged by a typhoon which
was encountered on November IS. during
which he engines were disabled. Fire
broke out on the Relief but was promptly
gotten under control, the crew of the
ship showing splendid discipline. The Re
lief Is now proceeding to Manila under
her own steam, repairs to her engines
having been made by the crew.
The news confirms the fears that were
entertained here thst the Relief had met
with disaster, as she did not arrive at
Guam on time.
The Relief sailed from Manila November
15 for Guam, Ladrone group, carrying
cable operators to that place. The- ves
sel was due on Friday last, but nothing
had been heard of her until Dr.. Stokes
cable to his wife, who is at present liv
ing here, arrived. It was feared the ship
had foundered in the storms which have
swept the eastern seas recently, as she'
made heavy weather of the voyage with
the Atlantic fleet from Samoa to Aus
tralia, rolling so muct at times that it
was thought she would turn over. The
ship was evidently blown far ou tof her
course, and made Che coast of Luzon for
shelter and repairs.
