Montgomery, Ala- Aug. 6.—There
seems to have been ■nothing In the
sensational rumor* from Lockart. Ala.,
about peonage at the Jackson Lumber
Company, notwithstanding that three
men have been arrested and are how
out on ball. The following letter to
Governor Jelks from E. Lesser, preel
dent of the German Immigration So
clety of Alabama, gives the true con
dltlon of affairs:
“I havs read the tales published about
peonage In the camps of the Jackson
Lumber Company at Lockart, *Alo. 1
htkve listened to the teetlmony given
under oath before United States Com
missioner Marsh here (Pensacola) by
live of the complainants,' and I have
spent an entire day vlaltlng the camps
of the Jackson Lumber Company at
and near Lockart. 1 have Interviewed
nearly 100 laborers, both Immigrants
and native born Americans. J have not
found a single person who would or
could make a complaint about peonage
of cruel treatment. It seems the com
pany will not-pay the men any wages
until they have repaid the amount ad
vanced for transportation, but all of the
men I spoke .to stated that they could
lenve If they wanted to, and that no
f tree 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 satisfied with the treatment.
There were a number of minor com
plaints, but none of any Importance.
It peonage has existed at Lockart, then
an trace of It had been removed before
n|y coming. The company extended
etfery facility to me to enable me to
make a thorough Investigation. The
German vice consul at Pensacola au
thorises me to say ofncfally and posi
tively that the newspaper statements
a* to complaints being made to him
hj* men escaping from, these ramps Is
absolutely false. Not a single Germdn
entered such complaint In his office, nor
made a statement that peonage exist
ed there. To the contrary, one of the
live men coming to the consul from
Lockart asking for work said, after
being questioned as to the truth of
these charges, that they were false and
tljat the men were treated good."
BUCKET SHOP BILLS
BEFORE COMMITTEE

Sentiment In the committee Is pretty
well dtylded. but It seems probable that
the Boykin bill will be tecommended.
