ECUADOR TRYING TO

WASHINGTON, July 19.-An elabor-

undertaken by the government of Ec-
uador to impress on the newly freed
poems the responsibilities that 90 with
freedom, it was announced today by
DR., Rafael II. Elizalde, Ecuadorean
minister.
About 800, 900 workmen were given
their liberty when the law a~holishing
peonage recently became effective, and
the social structure Of. the country is
somewhat disorganized as a result. The
law also abolished imprisonment for
debt, which made the poems practically
slaves as the land owners were forced
to pay the debts of a workman before
he could secure his services.
The large land owners are reported
to be having trouble securing labor for
the harvests because the poems do not
know what to do with their services
and refuse to stay with their former
employers to whom they are indebted.
No provision has been made for in
demnity for the debts of the poems
which the employers assumed.
