Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Slavery and Peonage in the Philippine Islands Nueva Vizcaya and Agusan, and providing punishment therefor,´ and that in the event of failure, the attention of Congress be called to this important matter to the end that it may pass adequate legislation if it deems such a course in the public interest." On October 24, 1912, the Commission passed a bill entitled "An Act prohibiting slavery, involuntary servitude, peonage, and the sale or purchase of human beings in the Philippine Islands, and providing punishment therefor." This bill was tabled by the Assembly on January 8, 1913.I therefore now recommend that this matter be brought to the attention of the Congress of the United States, and beg to present certain facts for your consideration. The Act of Congress of July 1, 1902, the Philippine bill, "An Act temporarily to provide for the administration of the affairs of civil government in the Philippine Islands, and for other purposes," provides that - "Neither slavery, nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in said Islands." For the purpose of this report I define slavery as the condition of a human being held as a chattel and compelled to render service for which he is not compensated. Food and clothing are necessarily furnished by the slave owner, and are not considered to constitute compensation. Peonage I define as the condition of a debtor held by his creditor in a form of qualified servitude to work out a debt.
