SAN JUAN, p. r., July 16:-All trades

The meeting opened with informing
those present that the governor had
pardoned Severe Sirino and Canuto
Diaz, two members of the Federation
Libre, who were sentenced to eight
months Imprisonment each. At the
time when they were released they had
served forty days.
Several changes were made in the
officers. Mr.. Eusebio Felix being ap-
pointed secretary of communications.
It was agreed to hold the second Labor
Congress at Arecibo, due to the. fact
that the labor movement in that city
lacks organization. Mr.. Eugene San
chez was appointed delegate to that city
by the executive committee.
Cigar Makers Union No. GAL held a
mass meeting at the Federation Libre
quarters for the purpose of delivering
the charter to the union and administer
ing the oath of allegiance to the Cigar
Makers International Union of Am
erica. This is the first Cigar Makers
Union in Porto Rico which has joined
the American Federation of Labor. The
cigar manufacturers who give support
to this union will enjoy the privilege of
issuing union labels on their goods.
Then the Porto Rican Cigars will not
be boycotted as now by the miners,

Delegate Baker responded by reciting
his long experience in the labor move

he could not remain when defeated in
a proposition which he believed was
right. "Hissalnion would succeed from
the Trades Assembly," he said One
of the delegates resorted by saying,
'You put your gun on your shoulder in

sympathetic strike without violating
their contract with the company.
These We're the two horns of the dilem-
ma which confronted them in the event
the Council supported the striking girls.
Besides, he wished to call the attention
Of the Council to two facts. First: The
the Electrical Workers union regarding
their grievances. They had never
preached the subject Of strike; in
fact, had struck without the knowledge
of the electrical workers.
Second: When the contract was en-
tered into between the Twin City Tele-
phone company and the electrical
workers of the two. cities there was no
organization Of the telephone girls. In
fact, when the strike occurred there
was no union; it was merely in the for
native stage. In view of this fact Mr..
Macauley declared that he really did
not see how the Federation Council
could legally become involved in a.
strike Of such an imperfect organiza-
ton, when to do so would compel them
to violate sacred obligations.
Delegate Bohan, who, with Messrs.
James and Hamlin, formed the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
matter, stated that the committee had
waited on Mr.. Moulton, president Of
the telephone company. Mr.. Moulton
said that the girls were not discharged
on account of unionism. He had no
objection to unions. The four girls
who were discharged were discharged
for insubordinakion, tardiness, chatter
ing while at their telephone chairs in
stead Of replying to the calls Of GUS
toners, and for creating dissensions
and disturbances among the other girls.
The president showed the committee
the reports on the books regarding the
four girls, and these reports did not
place the girls in a favorable light with
reference to their work and deport-
ment while at work. He, Moulton,
made no discrimination between union
and non-union girls, and that was the
policy OF the company. There was 10
objection to their joining the union or
forming one.
After the report of the committee
had been considered, Delegate Temple
man moved that the matter be dropped
The motion was unanimously adopted.
The trouble between the Woodwork
ers' and Carpenters unions of Winona,
was the next matter before the Coun-
Gil.
Business Agent Wahlqust requested
that the whole matter be laid over un-
til the carpenters of Winona could lay
before the Council full statement OF
local circumstances. This was accord
ingly done.
Messrs. James and Bohan stated that
they had called on. the stonemasons OF
Minneapolis, and had asked that union
to- assist, them in get ling thes stone.
