TWO VIEWS OF. THE PE0NACE CASES


1t is gratifying to note that the
whole force Of the department OF jus.
tice Is behind the prosecution OF the
peonase cases in the southern judicial
district Of West Virginia. There is no
meaner crime than peonage. 1t has
been called n refinement Of slavery,
but 1t Is no such thing. It is aggrava.
ton OF slavery. The average American
slave was well kept and well cared
for. Such Is not the case with the
workmen held In bondage in the lum.
Der camps. He is worked for all there
is in him and fed no more than Is nee.
essary TO keep his muscles going and
his stomach quiet.
The foreign governments Which PRIV.
tested against this twentieth century
slavery In West Virginia are to be
commended for their watchfuiness in
looking after their citizens. They
were careful to investigate the charges
thoroughly before complaining. and the
fact that they did complain can he
taken rs prima facie evidence that
they found the charges to be true. II

THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE

The WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE.
It was widely heralded that the
"Trlst.Busting Conference" at the
White House last week was going to
settle the whole question OF railroad
and other prosecutions that are now
before the administration, and that
the President would be able to go
away for the summer with his mind
free Of these perplexing problems. But
the results OF the conference did not
come up to expectations: The Presl.
dent for once was oyerborne by the
numbers against him, and the settle.
ment Of the prosecution problem has
been delayed TIL a more convenient
season. Friends. of the cabinet mem.
bers who advised delay said that II
was a matter OF policy. Those who
were not friends said It was a matter
of politics. The official statement that
was given out at the close Of the
meeting was the compilation Of Score.
tary Loeb, who was present at the
discussion. The statement conveyed
no meaning except that the whole
matter had been postponed. 1t is a
case in which delay Is almost worse
than ill'consldered action, for the bust.
ness community is still in suspense,
which is worse than certainty OF any
sort. There is no denying that the
big commercial interests have the
country In n position where they can
precipitate a panic II they choose.
They have threatened as much, and
the belief Of the best Informed Is that
they will make their threat good II
driven to extremes. 1t Is possible that
they have been given a scare that will
Keep them in order for time II not

postponed and was bound to come in

The Peonage Cases.

1t is right hard to- tell Just what
sort Of verdict may come out Of
the Indictments for the offense OF
peonage, found by the federal court
grand jury last week. The statute
under which the indictment was
found had Its origin in Congress in
1867, to meet conditions arising
from the sudden emancipation OF the
negroes from slavery. The language
Of the statute, It may be, meets the
case In issue.
The dull, hard facts are that the
men who are complaining under
took TO defraud the men who are de,
Tending against the charges, out Of
the cost Of their transportation from
New York to Raleigh county. Ate,
having taking the transportation
furnished by the defendants, and
making the journey from Castel Gar
den TO Raleigh they fatty refused
either TO accept the employment bar
gained for or restore the money. that
they obligated themselves 10 return
in labor.
The few side objections that the
steerage Immigrants to the United
States interpose, may carry the
sound Of intense honesty and integ.
rity to the ears OF the jury that try
the case later on. The fact seems to
stand out, rnmolcsted by contra,
dictlon nevertheless. that he EN-,
ployment offered and bargained for
was exactly the sort that the com.
planning Italians most usually solicit
and engage in when coming to this

employment are much the same, the
world over.
