We're Not III-tFOated
IL InnVIVN non NaDp MnN
Is LOOKING FOR MORE MEN
HOrkmOD Have Left the Company But
We're Discharged Owing to
WOrthleSSneS

Reports which have appeared in
Wilmington papers Of late 10 the effect
chat men IN my employ have been
brutally treated are false in every par
ticular7 said M. f. VanPelt to an
Evening Journal reporter this morn
ing.
II have been in the employ of Mr..
NanPelt for over six months. and have
never known of amy of the men being
treated unkindly," said Constantine
Lorengino, who was with Mr.. Van
peM.
Accompanied by Lorenglno, one of
his employees. Mr. VanPelt. who has
been hiring men from this city to
work on a railroad in Virginia. paid
Wilmington another visit today. They
arrived from lllkins. West Va, early
this morning He was in "A towering
rage when seen by the reporter. and to
him made the foregoing statement.
Continuing, Mr. VanPelt said. $50
many stories have been set afoat rela-
tive to ill-treatment to employees by
employers of the railroad with which
am connected. that it IS my opinion
that much of the talk comes from per
sons who are endeavoring TO injure
the reputation of the company by
which / am employed"
Mr. NanPelt said that 4 number Of
negroes who We're hired by him i'm this
| city. had grown tired OF the work and
deserted. If they were without funds
more or less trouble was experienced
in reaching home, and it is believed by
him that several Of the stories OF
hardshina and suffering originated In
this manner.
Men In the employ Of the builders
who refuse TO do their work, are not
treated unkindly or driven to their
tasks at the point Of a rife The com
lpany simply discharges them, thus
Kidding itself Of the tardy ones.
When asked if any of the men had
ever been killed by their employers
for refusing to perform their duties
Mr.. NanPelt replied in the negative
and added that the only persons who
had been killed were negroes who had
fought over crap games.
About sixty men, composed of Ital-
ians and negroes. from this city. are
now employed in the construction OF
the road The Italians, Mr.. VanPelt
says. are the most faithful of any class
represented. and are making good
money and saving il. Many of the ne-
groes hired from this city also are do
ing faithful work Mr.. VanPelt will
be IN this city until next Monday, and
wishes to hire about 14O more laborers.
In all ! 300 men are employed in the
construction Of the road.
