New YORK, March Della Pollina
Luigi, Belestra Francesca, Glacomo Con-

yesterday from South Carolina without
money, but with big story of trials and
trihulations. This is the story they tell
They arrived here from Italy, expect

big wages if they would go south and
do some very easy work. AS this hap
pened to be just what they were looking
for they decided to go South, especially
as they were assured thai their travelling
expenses would be paid. They hal no
idea Of where they were going, but they
were transported as far as Charleston
and then conveyed to a little town
twelve miles distant. There the men
were put TO work in some pumice stone
quarries, where the work was very hard
and where they had to stand up to their
waist in water most of the time.
They could make only forty cents a
day, and despite the promise made to
them they were "docked" for the amount
of their railroad fares. They were
charged eXOrbitant prices for food and
for the privilege of sleeping in wretched
novels. They say they were often beat
ell and, in fact. treated just as if they
were prisoners. At the end of three
months Of hard work and poor living
their joint savings amounted to $1.75.
They managed to escape from the arm
ed guards, who they say were stationed
about the camp, and made their way to
Charleston, where one Of them had bank.
