TELL OF PEONAGE IN TEXAS.
Many witnesses Ready to Describe Al
legged Plantation slavery

AUSTIN. Tex, Jan. sO.-Stories OF cru-
city are told by alleged victims of the
peonage system that is alleged to exist
on the Hoppe plantation In Burleson
county and upon other plantations who
are here to give their testimony before
the Federal Grand Jury.
Two more arrests on the charge OF CON-
spiraoy to hold certain persons in peonags
were made to-day upon indictments Of
the Federal Grand Jury. the accused
being Robert s. Newton, superintendent
and manager OF the Hoppe plantation,
and W. y. Houston. a constable OF that
precinct.
Four special agents OF the Govern
nnent have been investigating the peonage
system in Texas for several weeks. The
first information the Government re-
ceived was from Joe FOller Of st. Joseph,
Mo. He is a young man Of good family
who, while on his way TO Brownsville,
Tex. ran out OF funds. He left the train
at Somerville. Burleson county. he says,
to telegraph home for money when he
was arrested on a trumped up charge
by Q local officer He was sent To the
Hoppe plantation. not being permitted
to communicate with friends or rela-
tives. He says he was kept on the farm
for six months and worked until physi-
cal weakness caused him TO be discharged.
He reported the matter to the United
States authorities when he got back to
st. Joseph and an investigation was
inaugurated. IL was discovered, il is
alleged. that many negroes and white
men were held in peonage on the plan
tation; that they were beaten into in
sensibility; that negroes and whites. in
cluding the men and women. were housed
together; that failure to do the appointed
task each day caused punishment TO be
inflicted; that two men had their eyes
gouged out and that several died from
injuries inflicted by guards.
According to statements Of the Fed
eral special agents from 500 to 1000
men have been held in peonage during
the last year in Burleson and other coun-
ties OF the State Negroes and white
men we're arrested without cause and
pressed into peonage

NEW HAVEN. Jan. SO.-At n big meeting
OF railroad "oployees in this city to-
night President Charles y. Mellen Of the
New Haven road was one OF the speakers.
He said in part:
Fellow employees, for that's what we
all are. it was very opportune that you in
vited me here tonight. want TO an
nounce to you the organization OF a new
labor organization which will work on
the same plan and along the same line a.

necticut.
Il represent a large majority OF tho
organization am in fact the president.

meetings and l pay all the assessments.
Fidelity TO MY Trust is the motto OF
the organization. l want a ten hour day.

duced and set up more hremen than you
ever will. Think it over. Let's join
hands. We're q pretty good team. II
we don't pull together we are liable to do
each other harm.
Il want to say something OF the en-
ployers' liability. I have heard what
the speakers before me have said and
agree with them in many OF their state
ments believe that some law such
as that spoken Of should be enacted, but
It will be some time before it will come
do you think when you look over the
railroad you see all that is doing on the
roadf Even | have to read the news
papers u find out all that goes on. There
are 200 names on the pension list OF the
company at the present and over 500, 600
a year Is being paid out for this purpose
No one has even heard OF this. No one
has ever been asked to contribute a cent
toward this. Why not look for some Of
these things and not for faults in the
wages and the hours?
AT a stockholders meeting recently
l made a remark in regard to the en-
ciency OF labor which must have caused
some resentment among the members
OF your Organi ration. l don't take that
statement back, but 1 say now that /
don't believe there il a more efficient
New Haven road. l consider IL an honor
TO be called the old man OF such com
pany OF men.
II noted that one OF your speakers
said that there would be less trouble IL
there were more Mellens at the head OF the
railroads OF the country. l agree with
this sentiment, but l hope that you will
