PeOnage Rampant
In Florida

NEW YORK, (WDL)-"Invol-
untary servitude is common
place in Florida" reported Nor
riS Milgram, Workers Defense
League national secretary, after
a months work there on cases
Of peonage and involuntary SER
vitude, which the league has
brough to the attention of the
Department of Justice prosecu-
ton.
In central Florida, Milgram
reported, colored citrus workers
employed regularly five days
week have been arrested for wa
grancy" because they refuse to
work Saturdays. These cases
never come to trial, the WDL
leader declared, for the workers
pay $25 bond in order to be re-
leased. 1t is commonly under
stood that the bond is the fine,
and that no public officials in
volved.
Fear Of arrest forces citrus
workers to labor against their
will. While they would work
willingly if they received extra
pay for Saturday work, many
colored workers now work Sat-
urdays only under threat Of i'm
prisonment.

The appointment of the coun-
Gil with its object of trying to
find the best means for improv-
ing the morale and service con-
dition of colored troops was
hailed with much interest be-
cause Of the unforgotten occur
rences at Fort Devens where
several scores of colored WACs
staged sit-down strike in pro-
test of working orders which
they claimed Disseminated
against them but favored their
white buddies. This was at the
Lowell General Hospital. The in
cident was happily ended but
only after four WACs were
