 out an indebtedness incurred for trans
 portation was merely a labor contract and that such contract did not cOnsti- tute any infraction of the laws,
 We understood that the men could be arrested and fined for violation of such q contract and acted upon that information. ] find now that we were mIslnformed. There was no intent at any time to hold anybody, in fact we tried to be careful and keep within the law in every respect. As far as Gallagher Is concerned, I think he was subjected to unusual provocation. He is a good natured but hot-headed Irish man and is impulsive to a degree. There was stealing going on at the camp and he thought it could be stopped if he went after q man and made an exam pie of him, and this he did with no thought of violating any law.
 Tt is bad enough to haveeto whip an animal, and there is no excuse whatever for whipping a human being. We do not countonance the whipping of any man at any of our camps and do not want to be understood as advocating desire to treat our men with every con- and we are ready at all times to redress any wrong that may be committed. If any of- fense against the laws of the United States was committed at our camps 1t was absolutely without our knowledge, for such actions will not be tolerated. "
