John Pappas and others, the judgment
was for S42, costs and interest. In the

pas, the court CAV judgment for $53,

by which 1t was charged that Pappas
two or three others charged Greek
aborerS a certain sum to get them
Jobs on the Milwaukee railroad, and
then bilked them for other sums in
order that they might retain their
places. A news STORY in a local
newspaper regarding the matter led
