PORTO RICAN LABOR.

1t seems that the suggestion of la
borers from Porto Rico came from
Washington to the local planters. There
seems to be an impression that now
that the Atlantic Island is American ter
ritory it will be an easy matter to Sc
cure considerable labor there. A letter
has been sent to Alexander & Baldwin
at San Francisco, requesting them to
send someone to Porto Rico to investi-
gate the subject.
The laborers of Porto Rico are prin-
cipally Spanish negroes. Whether they
would be desirable here in large num-
bers is an open question. The pure Cas-
tilians are not farm laborers.
