Industrial conditions in Porto Rico
were generally deplorable." although
somewhat improved over those prior to
American occupation.

forts OF the American Federation of
Labor, he said. the civil government

was followed by the government in the
days OF the Spanish monarchy"
Says Government Backs Capital.
Martinez charged that the govern
ment was in many instances "in the
hands OF attorneys for the sugar, cof-
fee and tobacco trusts" Tho rights of
free speech and free assemblage. he
said. had practically disappeared. The
power Of the government" he contin-
ued. has been behind capital In its
struggles with labor"
He said that the government in Porto

Drifting Mine Possible.

Coming close on the Lusitania disaster.
the news that another American ship had
been endangered aroused more than ordi-
nary attention. but all officials were dis
posed TO hear details before making COM
ment.
Some officials could not understand why
a ship bound for the United States. IN
ballast. and therefore carrying no contra
band. should have been endangered by
torpedo. and they considered it among
the possibilities that the Sebraskan
had struck a drifting mine.
Legal Status of Nebraskan.
The legal status of the Nebraskan
under international law brought out
variety of speculation today when news
was received that the vessel was char
tered by British corporation. Whether
sunk by mine or torpedo. :, claim for
damages would raise n complicated
question. il was said. If the Nebraskan
was under British registry and char
tered to a British company. according
to previous decision in such cases. she
would be lawful prize liable to seiZ-
ure and condemnation. Chief Justice
chase has held that neutral vessels
engaged in belliSerent trade or service
became impressed with I be'ligerent
Chara cter
a board the Nebraskau. would require.
under the position taken by the United
States. that the vessel be duly visited
and searched. and her crew removed
to place of safety before destruc-
tion could be begun.
officials here are interested in learn
ing exactly whether the Nebraskan
struck a mine. If so. responsibility
would be difficult to fit. as the United
States government has never been able
to determine whether Germany or
Great Britain laid the mines in the
open sea which destroyed the American
cotton shipS E.XelVn and Carih.
