HI (CNA) Federal prosecution of white Georgia planter for peonage is being sought by the International Labor Defense of Illinois following its successful assistance to three escaped victims who fought trumped up extradition charges from Illinois. The three were represented by Attorney William Huff. Other refugees from the Oglethorpe County plantation of W. T. Cunningham have been assured of assistance from the I.

L. D. in fighting extraction should they be arrested. Affidavits from seven escaped victims, describing the conditions of peonage in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, have been submitted by the I. L.

D. to Federal Bureau of Investigation in Chicago, and to O. lohn Rocge, Assistant Attor ney General of the United States. In a recent New York speech, Rogge indicated that peonage was one violation of civil liberties In which the federal government felt the law was adequate for success ful prosecution and conviction. The slavery conditions describ ed in the affidavits submitted are typified by the case of Mr.

and Mrs. Will Fleming. Fleming work ed on the Cunningham plantation for 25 years, never receiving more than $10 pay any year. Rations wers so small that his family faced continual hunger. In 1923, he escaped to Atlanta, Ga, where he was arrested on Cunninghams request and returned to Oglethorpe County with a 12 month chain gang sentence hanging over him for "carrying a pistol" should he attempt to escape again.

In 1939, after Cunningham had beaten him with a pistol for "not moving fast Fleming escaped again, this time to Chicago. When Cunningham threatened Mrs. Fleming with torture, if she did not reveal the wherabouts of her husband, she also escaped and joined him. Their two children, Horace, 25, and Henrietta, 22, they were obliged to leave behind on the plantatita) where they were born. According to information given bv the I.

L.
