LABORERS ACCUSE RAILROAD
BOSSES

RENO, New, Jan. 21.-Greek labor
ers employed on the line of the West
ern Pacific in Northern Nevada claim
that the foremen of the construction
camps Of the Utah Construction Com
pany, and one G. D. Virgilio, an en-
ployment agent Of Reno, are system
aticaly robbing all laborers obtain
ing work on the Western Pacific.
Greeks are daily arriving in Reno
from the construction camps and
many of them are forced to walk to
this city, being penniless and unable
to secure transportation on the Nc
vada- California and Oregon Railroad
the only line running to the line of
the Western Pacific from Reno.
The Greeks and Austrians claim
that they apply to virgilio for a posi-
ton and after paying a fee are prom
ised a position on the Western Pacific
and given transportation to the
camps. That on arriving there they
are required TO pay the foreman of
the camp another fee before they are
allowed to 60 to Work, and that after
working a few days, they are dis
charged without cause and told that
they cannot have transportation back
to Reno.
They claim that they are discharg-
ed by the foremen of the camps so
that there may be work for more men
and so that Virgilio may have an op
%portunity to collect another fee.
Virgilio denied the charge, when
seen by a press representative, and
claims that he is not working in con.
junction with the foremen of the con-
struction camps in an effort to Sc
cure money from the laborers.
Evey lahore returning from the
construction camp, however, tells the
same story.

SLAVES IN MASSACHUSETTS,.
House In Which They Were Sold
Relic of Town of Hanover.

House In Which They Were Sold
Relic of Town of Hanover.
A relic of slavery days in New Eng
land in the middle Of the eighteenth
century, the old Tilden house on Win
ter street, West Hanover, the only
house in that town where slaves were
kept for market, is now being demol-
ished, says the Boston Herald.
The house is one Of the best-known
landmarks in Plymouth County and
has stood for nearly 200 years. 1t was
used as tavern in its early days and
later for residence OF recent years
it has been abandoned to the elements
and has rapidly fallen into decay.
No one knows the exact date Of the
building Of the house, but historians
agree that it was long before the in
corporation of the town of Hanover
In 1927.
Jedediah Dwelley, Of North Hanover,
who has spent much time in gathering
facts concerning the early history OF
the town, says: while there was more
or less buying and selling Of slaves
Gas in the middle Of the eighteenth
century nearly all the wealthy families
owned one or more) this probably Was
the only place where the traffic was
carried on for revenue. I have seen
two bills Of slaves sold from this house.
One was from Job Tilden to Mr..
Bailey, Of Scituate, negro child
named Morrow, years of age, Of good
bodily health and a kind disposition"
One Of Mr.. Tilden's slaves named
Cuffee served as soldier in the Revo-
lutionary War, and according to an
