American railroad contractors and
the native laborers. the Ecuadorean

against their employers, and wherever
there has been the slightest attempt
to deprive the men of their wages,
through either the contractors o.
agents, the native courts have been
quick to take up the cause of the la
borers.

Sampson, so far have failed to secure
an amelioration of the conditions
complained Of, and the department IT,
