Situation Different.

The situation in Georgia Is alto
gether different from that in Alabama,
where the alleged peonage outrages
are said to be due to the criminal con-
tract law which allows a negro who
has broken his contract to be arrested
and sent to the chain gangs. In Geor-
gia there Is no such law, though under
the contract law commonly known as
the George law any person hiring a
man who has broken his contract can
be sued. However, 1t Is believed by
eminent. authorities that this law Is
unconstitutional.
