SIMPLY LOAF TWO DAYS
Cuban Laborers Used to Work to Get
Money for Cockfighting and
the Lottery.

Washington, March Gone of the ques-
tons that will probably confront Secre-
tary Taft upon his arrival in Cuba in the
course of a few weeks, will be the pro-
priety and policy of abrogating Governor
General Woods decree forbidding cock
fighting in Cuba. An overwhelming ma
jority of the Cubans themselves demand
the right to fight their chickens as they
have done for many years.
1t was the arrest of a number of prom
inent Cubans, including at least one pres
idential candidate. for attending a cock
fight that brought on the crisis and caus-
ed Governor Magoon to promise that he
would consider the petitions that were
presented urging the abrogation of the
decree
When the sport f1ourished the Cuban
Iaborer worked four days a week to sup
port his family. Another days wage he
set apart for the lottery and the last
of the secular days he worked in order
that he might find funds to back his
favorite cock in the pit. Now that the
lottery and cockfighting have been STOP
red, the laborers and farm hands simp-
~ stop work for the last two days OF the
week. having no incentive to continue
This practice is said to have had q really
Injurious effect on the development of the
island industries and to have considerably
curtailed production.
Probably Secretary Taft will adopt the
expedient of permitting cockfighting out

cities, just as he did in the Philippines.

the report of the committee which con-

eral years According TO the sliding scale
the maximum of 81 per day is to be paid
as long as copper remains above IS cents
per pound and under that figure the daily
wages shall be $3.50 as a minimum for
skilled miners and 81 per day for shaft
men. 1t is also understood unSkilled la
Dor shall be paid for according to merit
The committee was continued and grant

with the employing companies. 1t is be-
iieved that the amicable relations exist
ing between the miners and the employ
ers will not be disturbed. and that in
side of few days development work will
be continued as before.
There was some talk in the meeting of
the demands which the smeltermen have
made for an increased scale of wages, and
it is understood that an agreement will be
reached which will be satisfactory to both
sides.

have in the past And, be it further
Resolved. That the state is endeav-

state is bearing the entire cost, except

widely-circulated charge that the state
is seeking to convict these men ire

Though 1t stands in the position of
