Eduardo Condo and Leonidas Guillot,
two socialists who spoke at a recent
meeting of the American federation of
labor at San Juan, P. R., were tried
Sept. 16 for insulting the American
flag and threatening the life of Gov
ernor Hunt. Their speeches teemed
with abuse of the government. One of
the prisoners was accused of advising
the workmen, upon the return of Gov
ernor Hunt from the United States Oc-
tober last, to parade with black flags
and then to make demands upon the
government. If these demands were re-
fused the speaker added. the alterna
tive of killing Governor Hunt re-
manned. The other orator was said to
have declared that the American flag
was rag, fit only to cover rascals and
criminals. The accused vehemently
denied the charges. They were tried
and convicted of anarchistic conduct
and sentenced to six months in prison.
Justice Kopel says the flag is higher
than the law and that anarchists need
never expect any mercy in his court.
The case has established a precedent
as a Porto Rican official warning that
attacks on the flag and government
must stop.
