Testimony in
 Peo!nage Charges
OFFERED IN FEDERAL GOVERN.
 MENT INVESTIGATION.
PRESSED STEEL GAR co. STRIKE
Imported Workman on Witness Stand --Makes Sensational chsrges-car Plant Guards to Be Called Next.

Pittsburg, Aug. 26.-The first tes- timony offered in the federal govern ment investigation into the charges of peonage against officials of the Pressed Steel Car company, in Schoenville, whose $500 employees are on strike, in which it is alleged force was used to compel imported workingmen to work, developed late today.
 False Impressions.
 Alexander Friedman. Hungarian of New York was the witness who made the sensational charges of to- day. He said he was brought here fifteen days ago with 100 other men from New York and he alleges they were brought under false impressions. He said the workmen were given to understand there was no strike at the works of the Pressed Steel Car com pany.. He said he was in the plant several days before he learned of the strike. Friedman declared that the car company picked out the strongest looking imported workmen and made guards of them. He testified these guards handled the men in a rough manner.
 Roughly Handled by Guards.
 Friedman sai dthat he had been at work in the plant a few days when he was asked if he did not want to make. some overtime money and when he replied affirmatively, he was taken to the kitchen of the commissary of the car plant and told to work there. He refused, he said, and after so doing was roughly handled by the workmen guards who took him to the box car ljails. Copstabulary officers refused to lock hin%up, he testified
 Friedman said the workmen guards then took him before company officials and the officials said they would com pei him to work in the kitchen. This they succeeded in doing, according to the witness, who was told also that his pay for the hours enforced work woudl be his supper.
 investigation Continues Today.
 Friedman did not contend he had been forced to stay inside the car plant but he asserted he could point out men who had been compelled to remain at work against their wills.
 Tomorrow the, investigation will be continued, the first witnesses to be called being car plant guards.

REGISTRY FEE INCREASE. Will Add s1,ooo,ooo Year to Post.
 office Department Receipts.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Experts of the postoffice department estimate that the proposed increase of the registry fee from to 10 cents will result in an increase of about s1,000,- 900 a year in the receipts of the de- partment. This estimate is made on the assumption that the Wolume of the registry business will not decrease under the higher rate. Even if the business should decrease a saving would be made, because it now is be- ing operated at a serious loss.
 The government itself, in it's yari- ous departments, sends an immense amount of registered mail which, of course. is carried free. If the proposed fee of ten cents were applied to all government registry matter the addi- tional increase would amount to nearly $500 annually.
