On Account Of the TranspOr-
tation Of the Porto
Rican laborers.
THEY ARE COERCED
Against Their Will. According
To the lale Of Some
Of Their Num-
Der.

There was more in the story of the
Porto Ricans who went through here
yesterday than the contractor in charge
would admit.
He admitted that the Porto Ricans
were giving him trouble but the un-
fortunate immigrants told another
story.
They cOntended that they were being
taken to the Hawaiian Islands without
their consent and against their per-
sistent protest. One of the older mem
beers of the party said that his party
was loaded on a boat in Porto Rico
with the understanding that they were
to be taken to the opposite side of the
island to work. They were on the
ocean for six days and to their surprise
they found themselves against the
docks at New Orleans. They protest
ed there but the guards explained to
the officers that they wanted to stop
in New Orleans and the officers helped
to shove them on the train and start
ed them west. They were halted at
different little stations along the route
so that they could be guarded and none
of them allowed to escape
AT Sanderson few days ago two of
the men left the car and attempted to
escape. The contractor appealed to
the sheriff who arrested them and
brought them back to the train. They
We're arranging to appeal for assis-
tance in Ell Paso yesterday when they
were showed on the train and sent
west before anything could be done
The manager stated that they had
signed contract to work on sugar
plantation in the Hawaiian Islands
and now did not want to go He is
taking them anyway but will likely be
lnterfered with at San Francisco.
The Porto Ricans claim that they
knew nothing about the proposition to
go to Hawaii and at this stage are OBJ
jecting seriously. They were heaped
in dirty cars where they had been for
about ten days and were in a mis-
erable condition from a sanitary stand
point. Three of the women had given
birth to children on the cars and had
teton.
Last night the matter was brought
to the attention Of the authorities in
San Francisco by the press of that
,ity and thorough investigation is
likely to be had when the party reach
IS there. The manager explains that
1e had paid their way to Honolulu and
hey now wanted to stop here. There

ticans created considerable comment
