The court upholds government peonage statutes as applying to individuals and states, defining peonage as compulsory servitude tied to debt. It reverses Colyatt’s conviction for returning debtors, finding no evidence they were ever in peonage, and orders a new trial while Justice Harlan concurs in part.
