HEAR STRIKERS TALE
PEONAGE CHARGE INVESTIGATED
 BY GOVERNMENT.
Although Witnesses Declare They Were Held Against wiil They Cite No Partfeular Persons as
 Responsible.

Pittsburg. Aug. 26.-The first tes- timony offered in the Government in- vestigation into the charges of peon- Steel Car Company in Schoenville. whose $500 employees are on strike. in which it is alleged force was used to compel imported workmen to work de- veloped late today.
 The Pressed Steel Car Company's at- torney attempted to hold the man who testified that he was made to work against his will, but this was pre- vented by the Austro- Hungarian Con- sular attorney and the Assistane Fed eral District attorney.
 The testimony taken today was in the form of atTidavits. From the first doxeh witnesses called. little informa- ton upon which to base peonage charges was eiicited, witnesses for the greater part declaring that their food had been bad and their treatment rough, but citing no definite persons as being responsible.
 Alexander Friedman, 8 Hungarian of New York. was the witness who made the sensational charges of the day. He said he was brought here fif- New York. and alleges they we're brought under false impressions. He said the workmen were given to under stand there was no strike at the works of the Pressed Steel Car Company :. He said he was in the plant several days before he learned Of the strike.
 Tomorrow the investigation will be continued, the witness to be called be- ing one of the car plant guards.
 United States District Attorney Jor- don refused to comment on today's disclosures. but 1t is now said by those in a position to know. that suit on peonage charges will more than likely be filed against minor officials of the car plant within the next ten days. A suit against President Hoffstot is un- likely, according to attorneys inter- ested in the case.
