PEONAGE SYSTEM AND CONTRACT LABOR
Government Detectives Find Big Graft PraCtiCed Upon
 Ignorant Foreigners Who Are Brought to This Country.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2.-Railroad off cials, labor contractors and employ. ment agencies were drawn into the government immigration investiga- tion and conspiracy indictments against prominent men involved in the sensational disclosures may re- suit.
 Evidence is being unearthed by gov eTnment agents showing the iIipOTta. tion of thousands of foreigners for contract labor on railroads and for big corporations, in open violation of the immigration laws.
 Agents, who engineer the labor con tracts, hiring the foreigners in droves in Europe, and bringing them to Chi cago, where they are turned over to the railroads, are under the surveil lanse of the government inspectors Arrests will be made whenever suf ficient evidence is found to convict them of violating the law. and the government will break up the ring in control of the immigration traffic
 Instances have been reported to Asst. Dist.-Atty. s. s. Shirer, who has charge of the Investigation, whore these agents thrive upon the earnings of the ignorant foreigners in their power. The labOrers are compelled to pay them a monthly tribute out Ot their small earnings, and, in addition to this, the railroads pay the agents a commission for thei- work.
 Some of the labor importers make from $500 to 5000 a month upon the toll of the men in their charge.
 Several women are declared to be among the agents who are making a fortune in the foreign labor traffic. They have agents in Greece, Italy and other foreign countries, where the la boreTs are recruited, and by glowing promises the foreigners are induced to come to America.
 The foreigners arrive in Chicago in gangs of fifty to 200, in charge of an emplOye of the immigration agent They know nothing of the country can speak only their own language and may of them can not write in their own tongue. They become prac tically slaves at the mercy of the prosperous agents.
 The startling developments in the government crusade, which are only hinted at. resulted from the investiga tion of the Greek peonage system.
 Immigration Inspector Deraphic is collecting the evidence against the la bOr contractors. and it probably vii be presented to the next Fedora grand jury.
