light of the facts, Mr.. Pegler has handled
himself like an adolescent.
The facts are these. and the records
show them: The question Of labor was
always of the most perplexing. Three and
four thousand men were employed for
months at time, and this was especially
true during the last year of construction
(1911) in the rush to complete the Exten-
sion .honoring Mr.. Flagler's birthday.
1t was soon determined that negro
labor was inefficient and insufficient
and always accompanied by women and
liquor. Use of negroes was givenup after
the first two and half years of work, and
it was carried onsby the most efficient and
economical type of men the experience of
the engineers had determined Spaniards
from Cuba-not the native Cubans but the
Spanish laborers. This class consisted
eventually of about 20 per cent Of the sea-
going railroad army. The other 80 per
cent was the miscellaneous mixture gar
nered from the big cities of the North.
Transportation was furnished to the camps
son the Keys and the cost deducted from
wages Many applicants took the chance
to quit the cold North for jobs in the
warmer Winter climate of the South and
when they got there they frequently de-
serted or refused to work. Naturally the
railroad builders resented the procedure
and kept their eyes open, but used moral
suasian and not force to persuade the, de-
linquents to work out the amount of their
transportation.
Once-and only once-the charge Of
peonage compelling laborer who is
creditor to work until his debt is paid-was
made against the Flagler forces. For
nearly two years ]. C. Meredith, the chief
engineer, and W. j. Krone, his first as
sistant lwho took up the torch and carried
the Extension to completion when Mr..
Meredith died at his post of duty April
20, 1909) together with their New York
city employment agent, were under indict-
ment before United States Circuit Court.
The prosecution seemed willing, even
anxious, to drop the case. But the two en-
gineers fought persistently for hearing,
eventually got, and presented no eyi-
dence in their defence.
To have done so was needless, for the
court ON motion of the attorneys, directed
verdict of not guilty, and roundly scored
the prosecution for wasting time on a
charge which manifestly had no founda-
ton in fact"
Somebody better suggest to the en-
throned columnist, Pegler, that words
strewn carelessly over the country without
regard to facts, might reflect the light Of
knowledge and illuminating truth more
clearly, much more clearly, if a little more
brain-power were associated with little
more tact :. as that God-forsaken sit

( A good many people think Westbrook
Pegler one of the enthroned among this
country's newspaper columnists; many
other people think he is a cock-eyed hack.
In his syndicated stuff printed, we pre-
sumo, by all newspapers subscribing to his
column last Wednesday he took occasion,
in commenting on the Miami Beach and
Montauk Point New York; real estate
activities of the late Carl G.. Fisher, to drag
in Henry NJ. Flagler and libel him, and to
take back-handed slap at Key West.
Wrote Pegler, 'Fagler showed the
railroad down the florida East Coast
and finally on stills, over the water,
. to the God-forsaken settlement of Key
q West, resorting to outright or slightly
camouflaged peonage to command the
necessary labor under appalling con-
: ditions. Incidentally peonage has
I. not yet vanished from the domain of
Senator Claude Pepper, that enlight-
ened statesman of the new South and
political padrone of the WPA. But
Fisher up to the time of his death,
s; though respected as veteran and
casualty of the Great Boom, had not
received public recognition for the
fulfillment of the dreamy ambition of
that coast which had began to fade
when Flagler finished.
'sFlagler made the railroad and
built some unsightly barracks called
hotels" casa Marina at Key West,
for instance?) shut still the people
didn't come in pay-loads until Fisher
cleared Miami Beach and built para

chology of the country and reduced
the famous French Riviera to the raf-
