HARL AN TO SERVE TERM


Company Operating in Florida and
Alabama-Must Also Pay Fine Of
$4,000.
President Taft has denied applica-
ton for Communication of sentence in
the case of w. S. Harlan, manager of
a great lumber and turpentine COM
pany doing business in Florida and
Alabama, who was indicted and COZ
victed on a charge of conspiracy 10
violate the peonage statute of Florida
Harlan must serve a term of eight
cen months Imprisonment in addition
to paying fine of $4,000.
The offense for which Harlan was
convicted grew out of the alleged eff
fort of his company to obtain 1870 la
borers from New York, including a
number of recent hungarian, Belgian
and other immigrants. They were
taken in parties of twelve to twenty
five by sea to Savannah, thence to the
company's plant.
"The evidence clearly shows" said
the president in his opinion, that on
the way from Savannah to the COM
panys settlement a number attempt
ed to escape and were physically dr.
tanned and brought to the place of
work. The government of the United
States has been at great pains and
cost to suppress peonage.
1T is much more likely to be main
tanned successfully where, as in these
cases, the laborers are foreign and do
not speak English and hardly know
their rights. 1t is a kind of offense
that is regarded lightly in some conf
munitles If permitted to live at all,
it will spread rapidly its demoralizing
influence. When, therefore, man of
high business standing and large en-
terprises is convicted of the offense,
the punishment should be such as 10
deter others from the practice. Fines
are not effective against men Of
wealth
imprisonment is necessary"
