CONSPIRACY PROVED
Organizer Iglesias Tried In
Porto Rico.
A SEVERE SENTENCE IS IMPOSED.

Plan, with seven Others.
Found Guilty.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec. 49,
Santiago Iglesias, president of the Fed
GRAFTON of WOrkmen Of Porto Rico, to-
gether with nine companions, has been
tried in tile district court Of SAN J'idh
on charge Of conspiracy, and lglesias
was sentenced to three years, four
months and eight days Imprisonment.
Seven of his companions were sentenc-
ed to four months Imprisonment, while
two were acquitted Of the charge OF be-
ing the founders of an Illegal associa-
ton and conspiracy fl August. l3oo, 10
raise the price of labor in Porto Rico.
lglesias, rs the founder of the con-
spiracy. gets the heaviest sentence. The
other men were merely his associates
in the crime. Under Spanish law, which
is still in force here, persons convicted
of a crime have to pny the costs. The
local Federation of the WOrkmen OF
Porto Rico, which is now part OF the
American Federation of Labor under
the presidency of Samuel Gompers, has
been ordered dissolved, as it has been
adjudgcd illegal because Of this con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Savage, judge Of the district
court, dissented as to the illegality or
the local federation, although he agreed
that lgleslas was guilty of a conspiracy
to raise the price of labor Aug. ], l9OO,
when the currency Of Porto Rico was
changed. At that time nearly all the
merchants and employers here raised
their prices from pesos to dollars, an
advance of 40 cents. lglesias did the
same, contending he only raised wages
in proportion to other increases. This
constitutes the conspiracy.
The case has been appealed to the
supreme court of Porto Rico, where
it will probably be heard in month.
Pending this appeal Iglesias Is at lib.
erty.
Since Iglesias has been here as the
local organizer of the American FEEDER.
alton Of Labor he has been continually
attacked In circulars and threatened
by certain Republicans who oppose his
plans. Last Tuesday night these Re-
publicans fired several shots Mt the
building of the federation. The police
searched the rooms of these meu for
arms, but found nothing. The men
who fired these shots have not been ar
rested. Iglesias has petitioned Govern
or Hunt, citing reported assaults upon
his men and asking for protection.
Iglesias said:
"If the laws of Porto Rica are inade-
quate TO punish these Offenders, II l
cannot continue my work of American
izing Porto Rican laborers unmolested.
please inform me, so that can return
to the United States, abandoning this
country and my mission here"
