Lesser, presi dent of the German Immigration So ciety of Alabama, gives the true cpin- dltlon of affairs: 'I have read the tales published about peonage In the camps of the Jackson Lumber Company nt Lockart, Ala. 1 have Hstehed to the testimony given under oath before United States Com missioner Marsh here (Pensacola) by five of the complainants, nnd I have spent an entire day visiting the camps of the Jnrkson Lumber Company at and near Lockart. I have Interviewed nearly 100 laborers, both Immigrants and native born Americans. I have not found a single person who would or could make a-complaint about peonage or cruel treatment. It seems the com pany will not pay the men any wage* until they have repaid the amount ad vanced for transportation, but all of the ■men I spoke to stated that they could leave If they wnnted to, ond that no force was used to retain them to stay. "I have taken statements of nine Germans, neither of whom can speak a word of English. All express them selves satlsBed with the trentment. There were n number of minor com plaints, but none of any importance. If peonage has existed at Lockart, then all trace of It had been removed before my coming. The company extended every facility to me to enable me to make r thorough Investigation. Tho German vice consul at Pensacola au thorises me to say officially and posi tively thnt the newspaper statements as to complaints being made to him hy men escaping from these camps is absolutely fnlse. Not a single German catered such complaint In his office, nor made a statement that peonage exist ed there. To tho contrary, one of the five men coming to the consul from Lockart asking for work said, after being questioned us to the truth of these chargo*. that they .were false aqd that the men were treated good.” ROCKET SHOP BILLS' BEFORE COMMITTEE JUMPED IN WELL AFTER ACCEPTING RET Special to The Guorghn.
