near future, no matter what NJ. c. d. Bor-

replied that they did not believe that in
case Mr. Borden should make an additional
increase of per cent. the labor leaders
could prevent their operatives from making
the same demand upon all the mills or from
striking TO secure it and that the guarantee
of the secretaries could not be carried out
LOWELL, Mass, March 15-At a recent

EDITOR ACQUITTED.
Porto Rican Newspapers May Criticise
Decisions of Native Courts.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, March 15.-The
editor and proprietor of the San Juan News,
II. Bird, was acquitted to-day in the Areci-
DO District Court Of the charge of GRIM
inally libeling the San Juan District Court.
The prosecutor asked for two months i'm
prisonment Last autumn the San Juan
court violated an injunction order of the
United States Court and refused to change
the venue in an ejectment suit brought
against Americans. The News used the
term "high-handed action" in crticising
the refusal. This offended the dignity of
the native judges, who under the Spanish
law were not used TO press criticism. The
judges instituted the libel suit and also
brought other suits on the ground of further
criticism. The latter, which are still pend
ing, probably will be dismissed in view
of Mr.. Birds acquittaI to-day. The matter
involved the question whether the Spanish
press law or constitution freedom of the
press should prevail.
