political parties according to the
very particular interest of those
directing the federation. Ii we
constitute labor organization
handled by Mr.. Barcel0 or any
other political leader, we would be
doing nothing but creating and
maintaining corrupted and impas.
stoned organization like the Free
Federation which in this country
represents the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and which is di-
rected by the Socialists element of
the island. ~
The Porto Rcan Federation
of Labor has never acted political
ly, nor is it inspired by any of the
parties disputing supremacy in
public opinion, and, therefore, it
is an error to think that We are
politicians desiring, separation
and opposed to the honest and
loyal conduct due by us all to the
flag and constitution of the United
States. The fact that we have
constituted local federation is
greatly due to our desire not to
be confounded with professional
politicians who ply their trade at
election time by selling votes to
the best bidder as has been done
in this island by the American
Federation of Labor through the
Federation.
In other Words. we are opposed
to the intervention of labor organ
'izations i'll political contests. The
American Federation of Labor in
this island has always been at the
mercy of the politicians.
In 1902. when said American or
ganization was founded in Porto
Rico, it made common cause with
the Federal Party and launched
it's first political campaign in spite
of the protests of many OF its
members. !.
In 1904 the leaders of the
Unionist Barty utilized the mel
of the American Federation OF
Labor, who made the campaign in
favor of said party.
In 1906 the American Fedora
ton of Labor registered in the OF
flee of the Secretary of Porto Rice
as a political party and fought al
the polls against the permanent
parties, having done the same
thing two years later in the elec
ton Of 1908.

In the election OF 1917 the
American Federation of Labor
launched a formidable campaign
i'm favor of the Republican Party.
and two years later, in 1912, they
also fought beside the Republican
Headers against the Unionists.
In 1914 the men of the American
Federation of Labor registered i'll
the office of the Secretary of Porto
Rico a party called the InsulM
Labor Party, and conducted pol
iitical campaign from the platform
of the Free Federation against the
existing parties. The year 1916 is

ROME, January 17.-The Orlando Cabinet has resign

resignation; but Immediately he charged Orlando HIM
self with the formation of ministry. The of
the crisis it is believed is the failure to obtain President
Wilson's support for the Italian territorial claims in the

the monarch is in strict conformity with the national

From the Porto Ri

Of Labor
San Juan, Jan. Ii, 1919.
Mr.. Willis Sweet,

San Juan, 7, r.
Dear Sir:
In an editorial published in
The Times of the 18th instant you
deal with the labor organization
which we represent, but in such
form that we are compelled to
request the publication of the fol
lowing explanation:
The statements contained in the
editorial to which we refer are as
follows:
1--WE note that Mr.. Barcel0's la
Dor Organization, which, as we
understand it, was intended as a
sort of back-fire with which to
check the spreading flames
of Senator Iglesias' organiza ton,
known as the Free Federation of
Labor, recognized as an adopted
child or ward, of the American
Federation OF Labor, and the light
of which was beginning to illumin-
ate the political and industrial
skies of Porto Rico. 1t was indeed
a lurid glare that burst forth in
the last campaign. 1t behooved
the old politicians who were an
xious about the Offices to start Il
back, fire over which the raging
flames of the Socialist Senator
could not pass.
"Thereupon, the Unionist leader
became the inspiration, we are in
formed. of another Federation of
Labor scheme, the intention being
to leave the fields bare of any grass
upon which the American Fedora
ton fire might feed. The new or
ganization is beginning to get rea-
DIV to launch itself, so that it will
be in the field for the next camp
aign. Fundamentally, it is based
upon the Unionist idea of indie
penHence. 1t is to be the Porto
Rican Federation of Labor, and is
to be independent of the American
Federation of Labor. This organ
ization is not organized any too
soon to save the next election to
the Independence advocates.
"We have heard some talk of a
combination of all of the Porto
Rican Americans in the next cleo
ton. as least as far as the delegate
to Congress is concerned. The So
Icialist and Republican parties are
lin accord Oh the subject of Amer
lean citizenship, supported by the
Constitution, and they might well
combine, it is said, at least on that
one plank in their creed, and stop
for all time the preaching of the
bureaucratic Propaganda by our
representative at the National Ca
pital. To that extent, at least,
those who favor doing away with
the expensive personal, or Nene-
zuclan system, now unfortunately
in force in Porto Rico, might ac-
complish a great work. We do not
wish to be understood as saying
that any such arrangement has
been made, or as yet seriously dis
cussed; but it is the natural thing
to do, and it would end being
beaten in detail by the Possession
lists. 1t is a rumor that ought to
be acted upon.
"And just what show the labor
organizations of any name or kind
would stand in Porto Rico under
independence need not be discus
sed; they all know"

Ititution of the Porto Rican Fede

There is no need for thanks; L

be a little better, and you will
have more faith in him.
