Labor agent defrauds Brunswick laborers in New Jersey scheme
A traveling labor agent from New Jersey allegedly collected 11 to 16 dollars from about one hundred local workers here and vanished as their train left Brunswick. Without tickets or money, most workers were forced to return home, while many had mortgaged assets to cover the so called Northward wages. Officials fear catching the con artist, and residents vow tougher reception to any future recruiters.
