Suspicious Railroad Laborer Ad Warns Local Union
A Chicago Record Herald ad offering 100 railroad laborers in the state at 2.50 a day prompts local union concerns. They cite a Kansas City swindle last spring where promised jobs vanished and warn that wages elsewhere range from 1.65 to 2. Police and post office authorities are to intervene if fraud is confirmed. The ad is placed by J Lens manager of the Chicago Employment Agency at 107 Washington Street with promises of cheap rail fare. The case parallels earlier use of the mail for fraudulent recruitment and may lead to arrests.
