General Howard, Commissioners of Freed
mems Bureau, in a letter to the Commits
siOner at Richmond, says of fixing the com
pensatiOn to freedmen: l am disinclined to
fix even the maximum rates that shall ap-
ply to all castles, the diversity of circum-
stances, is SO great. 1 believe justice can
be better apprOximated by the contract ap-
proved By the assistant commissioners and
superintendent Of freedmen, or other Off
GERS on duty in connection with the bureau.
They must first satisfy themselves as to
what is a just compensation for the differ
ent classes Of laborers coming under their
immediate supervision. If the commits
sioner fxea a rate Of compensation there
will seldom be paid anything beyond that
rate. Be sure, however, 10 protect the en-
ployee against labor without compensation.
The employee is protected by contract
which the employee, when treated in good
faith, is bound to fulfill.
