been an unusual occurrence. A python

pen. Besides the fowls. there were
ssne Ave ducks IN the pea. New, the
front Of the pen was fenced with ala
noad mesh galvanized wire netting Of
a strong type. 0r.r. nd
Tho snake could net resist fat
duck, so, putting Its head anA neck
through the stout diamond frame, It
seized and swallowed one. l have ne
doubt whatever that It would have
"mopped up the bunch" inside the
house, but that In adjusting No. l to
make room for No. 3 1t became aware
Of an ueasy feeling owing to the wire
around Its waist. Neither have l any
doubt that in addition to becoming
uneasy it became seriously alarmed
Being now unable either to disgorge

there were only few hundred indus
trial workers, properly so called. while
today there are 10000.
Agricultural workers in the island
now number about 100000, and most
of these work ten or more hours
day and receive a starvation wage.
"On the coffee plantations the
wages vary from twenty to thirty -fve
cents a day-this for workmen en-
ployed in land over which floats the
Stars AID Stripes.
"Workmen employed on the sugar
plantations receive from forty-ave to
ssventy-dve cents a day.
"One dollar a day is the least on
which q workman and his family can
live decently in Porto Rico, and the
prices Of necessities are constantly
soaring and are much higher since
the United States took over the isl

American capitalists have gained
control of many of the large planta-
tons and industries and pay an ave
rage dividend of about twenty-seyen
per cent, despite the fact that the
capitalization of many Of the com
panies is watered.

Dor now has affiliated with it !@2 To-

PORTO RICAN PEOPLE
Want Citizenship

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. ia resolution
calling upon the United States gov
eminent to grant full citizenship to
the people of Porto Rico will probably
be passed by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in session here today,
at the request of Santiago 1slesiss,
who is the delegate from the Porto
Rico Federation of Labor to the ma
tional convention.
The Porto Ricans are today peo-
pie without a country declared
Senior Iglesias, and they have been
in that unfortunate condition since
the United States took possession OF
the island in 1898. When a Porto
Rican comes to the continental Uni
ted States he enters as an alien, and
has to go through five years quail
fcation for citizenship. the same as II
he had come from Europe.
Not long ago a Porto Rican in
San Francisco applied for citizenship.
He pointed out that he could not sub
scribe to the usual form, as 1t called
for the renouncing Of some country or
allegiance. and he had none to re
nounce The clerk then changed the
form. making it read that the repub-
lie of Porto Rico was renowned.

felt, pickets, were attacked by railroad
watchmen near the Evans street entrance
to the shop stockade at an early hour
this morning. Warrants have been sworn
out for w. H.. Woodruff and John
Boone, watchmen, who have given bonds
for their appearance. The striking car
men assert that the piclkets were not on
railroad property and were attending to
their own business when attacked, and
that they offered no resistance. The
strikers may ask for an injunction re-
straining special officers of the railroad
company and others from interfering
with strikers, pickets or others when
they are in no manner trespassing upon

The strike leaders believe they have in
