was commanded in 1867 to furnish six

foreign enemies" Further demands of
the same kind were satisfied In sue

supplied 500 men to resist the Spanish
armada. Authority was granted to
press men into this service. and ap-
prentices and journeymen were called
upon to leave the counter for the bat

ing For Freedom.

Washington, June IL. = Presi-
dent Wilson was urged in a petition
carried TO the White House this
week by comm ttee representing
the Free Federation of Working
men of Porto Rico to appoint
commission to investigate labor
conditions in the island. 1t was
represented that THE reports, the
liberties and the lives of the masses
of the people of Porto Rico are
placed in jeopardy by the malad
ministration of the laws -
Samuel Gompers, President of
the American Federation of Labor
indorsed the petition and accom-
panied the committee com posed of
Santiago Islesias aud P. Rivera
Martinez.
The Porto Ricans declared that
workers on sugar and tobacco plan
tations were un6erpaid; that the
island police force had beeD used
to Cypress them; that the right of
assembly and free speech and to
strike had been denied; that at
tempts had been made to minimize
the teaching of an English lang
uage; that more than 200, 900 chill
dren of school age had been left
without school accommodations, and
that appropriations for schools had
been cut down to lessen the taxes
on the rich.
The petition asked that Congress
give the island a new constitution
and til 1t the Porto Ricans, be made
citizens Of the United States.

Car Men Vote Strike Power.

Chicag, June l1.-By . vote of
8,801 to 367, organized employees
of the Chicago street car lines gave
their officials power to call strike
in the event that the company re-
fuses to grant increased wages
The present rates range from q
to "a cents ar hour. The union
wants this increased 70 % and 80
cents respectively The company
has rejected the proposal.
The workers also ask that I he
five year apprenticeship clause be
modified, as this, they declare, IS .
trick tc keep the average wage low.
If m.n operated car for years
in another city aud secured a pc
sitio1 here, his experience would
not be considered, but he would be
paid the minimum wage received
BY men who never operated car.
If ne worked the sare ler 9Th Of
time for a Chicago company, left
its employ and returned, he would
receive no credit for former service
by beginners. Tue car men insist
that this apprenticeship plan is not
for the purpose of making men
but simply to secure
cheap labor.

THE Board of Education has de
cided to take over the Free Kin
dergarten Schools and extend them
to other parts of the city. This
worthy move on the part of the
members of the board should be
encouraged by the working class
of the city of Hamilton. An ap-
preparation of three thousand dol
lars has been made and this amount
should place the schools on good
footing.

more gratifying to Vermont business
instinct to find that there is an ample
market for Vermont fruit so near at

as soon as it is shown that they are

more to grow high grade of apples
