Prodgncr mas induced to come to this country by letter received from his friend. On ar riving in New Tork. being unfamiliar with ' the country and its mays, he was Induced by an -agent, or a West Virginia mining company to go there and engage In coal mining. On arrival at the mine he was held in practical slavery, according to his story, being worked to the limit and not permitted to communicate with his friend In Lad. Finally he managed to smuggle a letter to him and Bexik ansmeurd by reg istered letter, sending Brodgner a ticket to lad and Instructing him as to his rights. Brodgner immediately started to South Dakota, though he says the mine au thorities trl.-d to prevent Wm front going and refused to pay him a cent for the work he had performed. The case has been reported to the au thorities at Washington and also to the German consul, and there is a good pros pect of their being trouble in store for the mining company officials. u: a.
