PERU SCENE OF HORRORS
IN RUBBER INDUSTRY

the outrages, but Mr.. Fawcett says:
practically the whole of the local
authorities for that matter are in the
pay, directly or indirectly, of the rub
Der companies, and that is why neither
the government nor outsiders can hope
to bring to book the malpractices OF
men for whom any sort of official GER
itificate of innocence can be had for the
asking"
Escape for an employee is very diff
cult, from many places impossible.
They do, however, get away some
times. But what is an unfortunate
Indian to do when his all, his potato
patch and his lama are pounced upon
, by the agent of the injured and in
ignant company, and he himself is i'm
prisoned, if caught, by an equally in
digant local authority
but life. He can stay and probably
die knowing he can never be out of
debt.
For all abuses the owners are re-
sponsible, whether they realize how
their profits are gained or not. The
agent on the spot is not always to
blame. His livelihood is bound up in
the business. He knows probably that
his labor force is swindled. The COM
petition for labor is enormous and To-
cal authorities exacting.
He is faced by never ceasing anx-
iety, if he is an honest man, to get in
sufficieney of food or procure it's
production. His labor force is chron-
ically mutinous and dangerous with
weakness.
Both the owners and himself know
the business cannot last. He must take
profits, and somehow or other the graft
of local authorities and the so-called
losses upon men who die or escape
have to be made good. The labor force
one way or the other must pay.
He has three simple resources. I'll
can exact unpaid labor, or, if given the
enslave the more docile
wild Indians.
He can under the guise of honest |
treatment swindle his ignorant labor |
force over it's accounts and production
and thus keep it in debt and at perm
anent work.
Or he can starve it. The latter I
course is useful when mans produc-
ion does not equal the cost of his
'ood supply, as it cannot in the rainy
season. / have known a force of 300
indians living upon forest leaves to

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Those who have
been tempted to, regard lightheartedly
the revelations concerning the methods
of rubber gathering i'll Peru should
read the remarkable letter in the
Times from F. H. Fawcett.
1t throws searching light on the
situation, showing clearly the huge
profits made by the exploiters and
/. their hideous methods of obtaining ma
tives for their service and retaining
them
Here is a snapshot of how the ex-
ploring company. which has discovered
rubber trees, performs it's business
ON returning to civilization:
Agents, half-caste men of straw,
with a knowledge of Quichua, were
contracted as they still are every year,
to secure labor They are advanced
money They visit Indians on the
Altiplanicie, tempt them with the adj
vances of sums unheard of by the poor
Indian, highly color the life and prof
its, make them drunk, perhaps, anyway
alleged to have been signed, pledging
their miserable possession of a Int.
a potato patch and llama against a
contract to gather SO many quintals of
of rubber. "a quintal is 100 pounds.l
''The Indian on recovery from his
debauch, is forcibly dragged away
proceedings at which the. law winks),
to the rubber estates. He is debited
with everything, has to purchase his
tools, his clothing, his food, at eXor-
bitant rates from the establishment
store, paying for it all prospectlvely in
ised the equivalent of about $3.50 per
quintal
''He has to work under half-casta
and is required to transport his own
food and rubber (weighing 100 pounds
over trails no reader would care to
traverse free from load"
There is no medical service, and the
whole business is brutalizing.
Men, women, cHlluTeH are DouSlt
and sold for personal service. Parents
sell daughters; the brutal appreciation
of life is such that there is no security
in the Peruvian forests for the posses
sion of children.
All NatiOnalities Involved.
1t is mistake, he points out, to sup
pose that it is only the degenerate
class of Peruvians that is guilty of
abuses They are perpetrated by for
eigners of various nationalities whose
better instincts, if they ever had any, |
have been blunted by the greed for
profit, and whose license is encour-
aged by an immunity from scandal.

Farming with Dynamite

Most people have a limited idea of the
uses of powder and other explosives, from
the fact that all their know edge has been
derived from its larger use in war and the
lesser use in fire arms use for sporting.
Explosives are largely used in blasting.
The latest use is Tor industrial use in
clearing land and breaking up the hard
clay soils which are impenetrable by wa
ter and vegetation. Attic the attention
of farmers has but recently been directed
to the use Of dynamite for this purpose
experiments have been going on for years.
The clearing OF land by blasting has
proved the quickest and most economical
way Tn. breaking up of the ground be-
fore planting trees has proved to be the
most profitable, because tree, can be
transplanted more rapidly; fewer die the
first year; grow more rapidly and come
into bearing sooner.
LII saAother column is an announcement
OF the first exhibition to be made in this
region OF the use of dynamite. The nov
city exhibition should draw a large num-
Der of witnesses.

has instituted to dissolve the

experienced great difficulty in learning
IN what ways or particulars our opera
Vlols nave violated or are violating the

dllllcult to determine what steps should
be taken IN order that we should fully

However, "a suggestion as to the char
acter OF the final decree, to follow the in

has been elaborated for submission TO the
court, and We trust that this vexatious
matter will be in the near future finally
disposed of.

depth of 2 70 inches. That being on the

inches fell. Cellars were flooded as rev.
er before in this region. Not only were
