Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 6.—There
seems to have ‘been nothing In tho
sensational rumors from Lockart, Ala.,
about peonage at the Jackson Lumber
I'ompdny, notwithstanding that three
men have been arrested and arc now
out on ball. The following letter to
Governor Jelks from E. 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.”
