NOT SATISFIED.
Porto Ricans Complain of Existing
Conditions.

New York, Nov. General Roy
Stone, who has just returned from Por-
to Rico, says: 1.-The people of Porto
Rico are not at all satisfied with Amer
lean rule. There is a growing difference
between the natives and the militia,
which ds greatly to be regretted. When
the army of occupation first invaded the
island the natives received the Ameri-
cans so cordially that they expected to
be treated as people of this country and
not as conquered province. The treat
ment they have received from our
N hands has been just the opposite. This
has produced a chill.
What the Porto Ricans want is to
be taken in as a part of the United
States. They do not expect to enter
the Union as a state but as a. people in
training to be advanced to statehood.
In addition to this they want free trade
with the United States and there is no
reason that can see why they should
not have it. At present they are forced
to pay duty on all imported goods, Span
ish goods included, which were free be-
fore.
our military government of the is
land has been far from satisfactory. We
have destroyed the Spanish military
rule and have not replaced it with
American forces. thus destroying their
safeguards to life and property As a
result of this from $50 to 200 of the
finest plantations have been destroyed
by fire. just who is responsible for this
I cannot say.
1.-The infantry there is of very little
use in policing the island. We must
have cavalry. In addition there should
be a civil guard composed of Porto Ri
can privates and American officers.
There is a great deal of sickness
among our troops, but it is due princi-
palIy to the imprudence of the men and
not to any neglect of officers or heads of
departments.
General Stone will advise the estab-
Ishment of an electric railroad system
throughout the island.

tensively during the term of his office,
and said that he had never found Erastus
Corning or the Vanderbilts backward in
doing ANYTHING for the advancement of
the men in their employ.
James O'Connell was next introduced
by Mr. Henderson. Mr.. O'Connell is
Grand Master of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists and second vice
president of the American Federation of
Labor. He is one OF the greatest labor
organizers in the country, and gave the
people of St. Johnsbury many new ideas
in regard to the labor question. He
gave brief resume OF the past history of
the organization, and then told what the
organization was doing and trying to
do. He said that the order wanted
shorter hours of labor, wanted them
made short enough so that every man,
who is now calling for work, could secure
employment; to increase wages; to re-
duce the number of women and children
in our mines and factories, and make it
necessary for children under certain
age to attend school, to equalize the
wages of men and women. He gave an
example Oi SHlCdkO uiIu tudC cHplOyS
5000 hands, OF these there are 1000 girls
who earn an average of 1926 week.
| This throws men out of employment and
the organization demands that women
shall receive salary equal to that of
men for the same amount of labor. There
are in this country $50 900 families sup
ported by child labor. The children are
put into the factories almost as soon as
they can walk, being shut in here all day
they are never able to become educated,
they learn to hate their employer and
the whole outside world. What do
these children become? Inmates of jails,
insane asylums and poor houses. Organ
lied labor demands that these children
be educated and that their places be filled
by men who shall receive fair compen-
sation for a days labor. Organized
labor says more schools and less jails,
more public buildings and less poor
houses. Instead of promoting strikes
these orders prevent them by educating
the members and showing them other
methods of settling difficulties between
employer and employee.
