No senor, no la esperaba ; por

donde mejor jornal Sc les da a los
trabajadores. Ell jornal minimo
que ALI Sc les paga esde $1.25 dia-

depende de la labor que rinden, y
cuando estos trabajadores hacen
ajustes ganan mas ain. Deepen

las hOras de trabajo. Pero tenfa
yo Otras razones para no ,esperar
que ALI hubiera huelga. La va
bucoa Sugar Company ha hecho
importantes siembras de frutos
memories y ha est;,tlo vendiendo
las batatas y yautfas a un centavo
la libra, desde hace mas de un aiio.
Y la venta barata de frutos memo

TEMAS PALPITANTES
LOS SUCES0S De YABUCOA
HABLANDO CON EL SR. RIERA

cS clertO. En Ell pr0plO pueblo de
Yabucoa hemos dido hablar de to
do este que nos refiere el Sr. Riera
con una leve amargura en- la voz.
q Dijo usted que la Yabucoa
paga los jornales mas altos? SY
que gradaci0n ha tenido el au.
mento?
Vera usted. En- el aiio de
1917 Sc pagaba en- Yabucoa a los
trabajadores un jornal de 95 cen
tavos. AL iniciarse la zafra del
pasado ailO 1918, de acuerdo con
un comite de los trabajadores fue
fijadO el dfa de labor en- ocho
horas y Sc aumento un ounce por
ciento ell jornal en- relaci6n de 10
pagado el afiO anterior. Els decir,
Sc flo un jornal mfnimo de $1O9.
La Central y tambieR los colo
nos empezarOn cortar Gaia este
ailo el dia 16. del pasado mes de
diciembre, y tanto la primera CO.
mo los segundos al hacer el pagO
"a los trabajadores el sabado q de
diciembre, aumentaron ell jornal
en- relaci0n del ailo anterior, guar
dando la misma proportion en- que
ha subido el precio del az1car. Els
tlecir que, el minimo que ahora Sc
baga ea de Si.25, E-asien- adelan5e,
tsegdn antes lie explique.
Yo sc, nosotros sabemos-agre-
ga el Sr. Riera, que los direct0-
'es de los trabajadores en- va
)ucoa Sc han producidoe en-
liversas ocasiones en- ell mejor
sentido al hablar de la Compaiiia,
'econociendo los beneficios que la
misma prestaba en- momentos di-
ffciles. Y era esta una 'raz0n mas
para suponer que no tendrfamos
nj ell mas leye amago de huelga.
Hemos subido ell jornal en- la
mismo proportion que ha subido
el azdcar. ;Somos nosotros los
quehemosfaltado a la equidad? Yo
encuentro bien que los trabajado-
res traten de ganar ell jornal ma
yor que sea possible y encuentro
legitimo que tengan ambici6n;
perO es sensible que ocurran chO-
ques como el de Yabucoa. ~ no
es verdaderamente raro que a on
ce Kilometres de distancia, en-
Maunabo, pOr ejemplo, los traba7
jos agricOlas Sc desarrollen con
perfecta normalidad, sin que los
jornales lleguen igualarse los
que Sc pagan en- HumacaO y va
bucoa? Desde Maunabo en- di-
reccion al Sur, van descendiendo
los jornales nOtablemente.
-SY los trabajos en- la Central

Isarrollan normalmente?- hemos
Ipreguntado al Sr. Riera.

A well-known authority states that

He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, set from any phar-
macy four ounces Of Jad Salts and
take tablespoonful in a glass Of wat

Naturally the drop in food prices
reaches the produced first and the
consumer last ones the beginning
and the others the end But some
times it seems to take the longest way

Things are reported DUH for the
former crown prince. But maybe
there's something being sharpened for
him.

Looks as tho the present legislature
will roll a cigaret license law. Under
present conditions the cigaret seems
to have popular majority in the
state.
Is this proposed woman's 9-hour law
going to interfere still further with
the man who 5egs unavailingly to have
the buttons sewed on his union suit?
Well. what's being done or likely to
be done about that notorious mis-
carriage of justice in Ida county? Are
they going to get away with it?
The people can take a strong hint
from the packer investigation. The
first thing the packers did was to look
out for themselves.
Certainly SOW those congressional

with silver plate. He lived better and
easier than any other man in his
neighborhood. His note was better at
the bank for what money he needed
than most OF the big farmers for what
they thought they needed; and Charley
hardly ever bothered bank except

WASHINGTON NEEDS A JOLT.

The terms and methods of selling
the next liberty loan are of concern
just now WASHINGTON authorities in
sist that the war Is not over until the
boys come home and the war bills are
paid, hence Washington insists that
the next liberty loan must bear the
same rate of interest as the others
that 1t shall have no greater tax
exemptions and that the people must
accept their allotments and buy from
patriotic duty as before.
Local liberty loan leaders knowing
the temper Of the people reciizc that
Washington is doomed to disappOint-
ment either before or after the next
drive. County and state organizations
are unwilling TO force the sales OF the
next loan. They are not going to have
a man arrested as Stacker ard
brought before a local military cours
when he refuses to buy to his allot
ment card. They point to demobiliza-
ton as an evidence that hostilities
have ceased and martial law is no
longer necessary, neither is the sus-
pension OF the law OF supply and de-
mand. Price control has been relin-s
pushed. war boards are disbandins,
the soldiers are coming home and here
after things are TO be bought and sold
on the open market without restraint.
Government bonds will have TO seek
an investment market hereafter. If "A
per cent and ten year bond tax free
without limit is necessary in order to
market the next bond issue to invest
ment buyers there can be no good rea-
son why the government should not
pay the market price for money just
as its citizens now must pay the mar
ker price for coal and cotton.
Federal farm loan bank bonds are
tax free without limit and bear per
cent. state, county city and school
district bonds are tax free without
limit. The federal government need
not fear fayoritism if If should exempt
it's own bonds from its own taxes at
least up to 100000 of income. The
time has arrived for congress and the
executive departments to learn that
money can no longer be had merely by
writing home for the check. The people
have a right TO demand strict economy
in expenditure henceforth and the
quickest way to enforce that demand
is TO make Washington bid market
price for the money it spends. \
! victory loan at Az per cent ten years
and tax free could be sold over the
counters Of all banks to investors
