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.
