VALDEZ MERCANTILE CO.
SLAVERY PRACTICALLY
EXISTS IN KRUPPS
LONDON, Nov. 27.— A copyright
dispatch from Amsterdam to the Sun
says that a returned Hollander, who
had been enticed to Essen on the
promise of work at good pay asserts
that the condition of employes at
Krupps Is that of practical slavery.
The men are compelled to work with
out a Sunday rest, the food is bad,
typhus Is prevalent and the sleeping
accomodations are unsanitary. About
4,000 Hollanders are employed by the
Krupps, most of whom have been
trapped In Germany and refused per
mits to leave the country. Kruppt
the dispatch adds, is not working t
full capacity owing to scarcity of met
al. chiefly copper. Soldiers from th
front say that Germany now has sub
marines of 7,000 and 8,000 tons am
also guns with a range of 40 to 4
miles. These latter statements, th
dispatch qays, are *reely accepted b
the German populace.
