Government Is Looking Into
Facts Of the Strike
DOZEN WITNESSES CALLED
Hungarian Testifies in Sensational
Manner That He was Brought
To the Car Works Under
False Pretenses.

Pittsburg, August 26-The first testi-
mony offered in the government investi-
cation into the charges of peonage against
officials Of the Pressed Steel Car company
in Schoenville, whose $500 employees are
on strike, in which 1t is alleged force was
used to compel imported workingmen to
work, developed late today. The Pressed
Steel Car company's attorney attempted
to hold the man who testified that he
was made to work against his will, but
this was prevented by the Austro-Hun-
garian consul.
All testimony was taken today in the
form of affidayits. OF the first dozen
witnesses called, little information upon
which to base peonage charges was elicit
ed, the 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, a Hungarian of
New York, was the witness who made
the sensational charges of the day. He
said he was brought here 10 days ago
with 100 other men from New York,
under false pretenses. He said the work
men were given to understand there was
no strike at the works of the Pressed
Steel Car company. He said ne was III
the plant a few days before he learned
of the strike. Friedman alleged that the
car company picked out the strongest
looking imported workmen and made
guards of them. lie testified these guards
handled the men in a rough manner.
Friedman said he had been at work in
the plant few days when he was asked
If he did not want to make some over
time money and when he replied affirm
atively he was taken to the kitchen OF
the commssary of the car plant and told
to work there. Friedman said he refused.
After so doing, he stated he was roughly
handled by the workmen guards. who
took him to the boxcar jails. Constabu-
larry officers refused to lock him up, he
testified
Friedman said the workmen guards then
took him before company officials and
asserted the officials said they would
compel him to work in the kitchen. This
they succeeded in doing, according to the
witness, who was also told that his pay
for the hours enforced work would be
his supper.
Friedman did not claim he had been
forced to stay inside of the car plant, but
stated he could point out men who had
been compelled to work against their
wills.
Tomorrow the hearing will be continued,
the witness to be called being one of the
car plant guards.
United States District Attorney Jordan
refused to comment on today's dis
closures, 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 10 days. A suit against
President Hoffsot is unlikely, according
to attorneys interested in the case.

pears to be the spokesman of the con-
ferees, announced after the meeting that
there is no apathy in the ranks of de-
mocracy in Virginia. That all breaches
have been healed and that the party will
stand solidly together and work for VIC
tory at the polls In November, and that
the party win seek to frustrate the re-
publican boasts that they will make
heavy gains In Virginia this fall.
mississippi and Louisiana will grow
more corn this year than in any year
since the war" said Edward Aaron, a
real estate man of New Orleans today.
Hundreds of planters who had sown
their fields in cotton, plowed them up in
June because of the ravages of the boil
weevil and planted corn. This will mean
that for the first time in many years
these two states will have enough corn
to supply their own needs and some to
sell. At the same time the cotton crop
will be about as 1t was last year.
Some of the planters were, perhaps a
little too hasty in plowing up their cot
ton, because, 1t is believed, many of the
fields would have matured before the
boil weevil had done much damage, but
the planters got scared when the weevil
made it's appearance and decided 1t was
better to take no chances The weevil
1t is said is travelling at the rate of 20
miles a year, and persons who have
studied it believe that 1t eventually will
disappear They point to the place of its
first appearance in Texas, wnere now the
weevil has entirely disappeared.

HARRIMAN'S HEALTH Is
WORRYING WALL STREET

New York, August 26-The state of Mr..
Harriman's health continued to be the
principal topic of interest in Wall street
today. There was little or no definite
news to be had, and in its absence pessi-
mistic rumors of varied character held
the fort and set the Hartman and allied
stocks spinning downward. The slaugh-
ter of prices was attended by the usual
list of dead" and wounded" on the
speculative field. At the close Of the
DAYS business, which aggregated more
than 100000 shares, many pyramided ac-
counts had evaporated INTO thin air and
the clerical forces Of most brokerage
houses were kept working long into the
night, issuing calls for additional mar
gains.
Since early in July 1t has been a Harri-
man, or "one man. market, although his
friends and associates frequently have
declared that the rise in Union and South
ern Pacific was without his consent or
connivance. Today's pessimistic gossip,
therefore, acquired sufficient strength 10

MEXICAN DIGNITY
TAKES UMBRAGE

Toledo, O., August 26-Marquis De
yillalobar. minister from Spain. was en-
tertained at banquet tonight as the
elimination of his visit to Toledo to at
tend the King Wanda carnival.
In addition to Marquis De Villalobar,
Louis Pastor, secretary of the Spanish
legation, was present.
The attendance of Don Francisco Leon
de la Barra, ambassador from Mexico,
who had accepted an invitation, was
prevented by an unfortunate misunder-
standing as to precedence at table, which
arose from the fact that after he agreed
to come, the Spanish minister received
commission as the direct representative
of King Alfonso. and as such, took the
ground that he was entitled to prece-
dence.
Senior de la Barra, because of his
superior diplomatic rank, declined to
concede the point when the matter was
referred to him, and to avoid complica-
tions cancelled his engagement.
Marques De Vallalobar refrained from
discussing matters of political or dip
lomatic nature, although this was one
OF his nrst puDllc appearances since
his return to the United Statese as min
lister. His response to the toast of Judge
John s. Doyle was solely of a social ma
ture, conveying in the name of his
sovereign and of his country extended
greetings and best wishes for the pros
perity of the American city named af-
ter the old Spanish Toledo.
The marquis also recalled his former
visit to Ohio in 1898 in company with
his uncle, the Duke of Veragua. lineal
descendant OF Christopher Columbus. The
minister will return to Washington to-
morrow afternoon.
