PE0NAGE WAR
CAUSES KICK
Southern immigration Commission
Is Aroused.
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Men Who Made the Charges Against
Georgia are Denounced as Frauds.
Roosevelt Asked to Intervene.

The Southern States immigration
commission, located in New York. of
which David Robinson is the head,
which is doing such splendid work
of securing desirable immigrants for
the south, has appealed to President
Roosevelt to direct the department Of
justice to make investigations in New
York, which MIR. Robinson declares
will completely refute the charges
against the r. D. Cole company Of
Newman, on which indictments for
peonage were found by the federal
grand jury for the northern district
of Georgia as the result of the ef-
forts Of the Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Charles w. Russell, who has
been in Georgia for the past two
weeks as the special representative
of the department in connection with
this matter.
According to information furnished
the Atlanta Constitution Sunday night
by Mr.. Robinson, the commission
will be able to show that those per-
sons making the charges of peonage
absolutely misrepresented themselves
in order to get free transportation to
the south.
Georgia being one of the states for
which the commission is working, Mr.
Robinson is the direct representative
of the state and is engaged in secur-
ing for Georgia industries just the
kind of immigrants that are badly
needed to keep up the great prog
ress which is now being made. The
whole purpose Of the commission is
to induce desirable immigrants to
come to the south, and the present
Juror over alleged cases Of peon1ge
is naturally greatly interfering with
it's worl1-and at the seme time very
pleasantly playing into the hands Of
those interests which are opposed to
immigration to the south. The rail
roads which get the haul when labor
ers and 1omeseekers are carried to
the west are the chief beneflciaries
every time such charges are made
against the south, and many stories
detrimental to this section which have
been told abroad have been ascribed
to their agents.
Mr.. Robinson declares that the
present situation demands absolute
fairness in the interest of southern
industries.
MIR. Robinsor's telegram to the Con.
stitution was as follows;
New York, November 4, 1906.-The
Southern States immigration Commits
sion. located in New York, appealed
to President Roosevelt tonight to di-
rect the department Of justice to
make Investigations here which Will
reflte the peonage charges against
the r. D. Cole company Of Newman.
We will show that the men making
complaint absolutely misrepresented
themselves to get free transportation
south. Our work is inducing desirable
immigration and therefore demands
fairness in behalf Of southern indus
tries Five scotch farming families ar
rive here Thursday, going to Georgia,
and more following.
