PLIGHT
Of Porto Ricans Revealed
to Senate; Absentee Land
lOrdism a Curse

Washington n,-Continued trade un-
ion agitation against social and eco
nomic conditions in Porto Rico is bear
ing fruit among members of congress.
Portions of the Porto Rican COM
mission now in Washington in the in
terest of greater self-government are
quite willing that only the political
side of Porto Rico be discussed. 1t is
limited that the trade union members
of the commission can become quite
popular if they confne their talks be-
fore members of congress to the elect
ion of island officials.
In statement to the senate COM
mittee, Santiago Iglesias, trade
union representative of the commits
sion, and member of the Porto Rican
senate, said:
"Two-thirds Of the annual profits
yielded by the agricultural, CONNER
cial and industrial producing masses
of Porto Rico leave the island in the
shape of rents, commissions and divi-
dends estimated at 60 per cent, to be

CONVICT LABOR
Corrupts Oklahoma; De-
spite Law, Shirt Factory
Holds Contract

Oklahoma City,-Convict labor is
corrupting Oklahoma. The state con-
stitution is ignored, and the charge is
made that the men who profit by this
system make large contributions to
candidates for office.
The Oklahoma state constitution
specifically declares that "the contrac-
ting of convict labor is hereby pro-
hibited" Despite this clear statement
contracts have been made with the Re-
lance manufacturing company, one OF
the spokes in the country's prison
labor trust.
Testifying before state legislative
committee it was charged that the
evils of prison labor include actual
loss to taxpayers, who are led to be-
lieve they are saving money by this
exploitation of human beings.
j. D. Duncan, who was at one time
employed at the penitentiary, told the
committee that the Reliance contract
is costing the state $4,000 a year
The people are assured that the
state is making a profit of 100000 a
year. Duncan said the deficit is con
cealed by Juggling the funds. Money
to operate the shirt factory is taker
from the prison maintenance fund
while money paid by the company is
placed in the revolving fund. This is
called profit. The witness could not
state whether the company paid the
state what was due it on the contract
Hints that they do not make these
payments have been heard since c. D
MacNalley, formerly storekeeper, tolt
the committee that the company hat
failed to pay for as high as $500 doz
en- shirts month.

GREEDY BOSSES
Attack Illinois State Life
Saving Law

Springfeld.-Oneo of the most un-
fair attacks on any labor law is now
being waged against the miners quail
ifcation law of this state. The act
is a life protecting law, and provides
that no one can be employed as
miner unless he proves in the English
language that he has had practical
experience as miner, or with
miner.
John M. Glenn, secretary of the Ill
inois Manufacturers Association, is
leading the fight against this law. He
is spokesman for big business, as he
was in the fight against limiting the
hours for working women and other
humane legislation.
The miners legislative representa-
tives of this state-Irvine D. Strain
and Guy Young-have replied to
Glenn's appeal in letter to members
of the state legislature. The union
lists show that their laws provide that
any miner who secures certificate
from the examining board must be
accepted" into the union. This dis
poses of Glenn's claim that the union
uses the law to it's advantage.
The reason for the attack on the
law is traced to this statement in
Glenn's letter: Under the miners
qualification law "it is impossible to
mine coal in emergencies"
This means that the law stands in
the way of securing illiterate foreign
ers, ignorant of the dangers of min
ing, to serve as strikebreakers.
"We believe that coal miner should
know and understand the dangers OF
gas, their component parts, and the
dangers Of them under changing con-
ditions.
"They should be required to know
the possible danger from dust explo-
sions. They should be required to
know, and to demonstrate that they
know, how to set props, because man
who does not understand this fully
may get himself injured or killed by
using improper methods. They should
understand how to set cross-bars for
the same reason. They should be re-
auired to have some knowledge of the
breaking strain of timber under va
rious conditions"
Glenn told the legislators there are
$1,000 miners in excess OF the states
| needs, and they should be assigned to
other work. The trade unionists re-
ply that Glenn's hackers are respon-
sible for this condition because oi
their refusal to store coal in the sum-
mer. The other reason is the promo
ton of mining companies, also traced
to Glenn's paymasters.

distributed and invested outside the

distributed and invested outside the
island"
The trade unionist said it is not
strange that under present conditions
more than half of a million men, wo-
men and children engaged in farm and
industrial work are continually in Q
depressing condition.
"The terrible curse of absentee
landlordism cuts deeply into the eco.
nomic heart Of Porto Rico," contin-
ued Senator lglesias.
Hundreds Of thousands of its most
fertile acres are owned by non-resi
dents, As quickly SIS the rich crops
are collected, they are taken out Of
the country and the supply of sugar
tobacco, coffee and others, an almost
infinite source of profit and wealth, is
lost to the island"
Under an act passed by congress
land ownership in Porto Rico is limit
ed to 500 acres. The purpose of this
act is to keep the land in the hands Of
the people. Corporations ignore this
law and hold thousands of acres while
the United States government fails tx
act.
Invisible government" has changed
the federal income tax law so that the
Porto Rican holding of big business
are exempt This has meant saving
to big business Of $9,500,000 during
the past five years.
"The island should no longer bs
utilized as means of providing op
portunities for investment and com
mercial exploitation by absentee land
lords" said Senator Iglesias. "Neithel
should the policy of educating the peo
pie be held up on account of its ex
pense and alleged uselessness.

ALASKA COAL
LANDS LOOTED

Washington The Alaskan coal
reserve lands, intended for navy uses,
may develop into another Teapot
Dome scandal, according to testimony
filed with the president by John E.
Balliane of Alaska and seattle. The
westerner declares that reports were
made that this coal is unfit for navy
use Bellaine shows that this claim is
contrary to reports by navy engineers
who compared Alaska coal with STAN
dard grades used by the navy. This
report, it is stated, has not been made
public.
The author of the charges built the
original Alaska railroad, and is con-
sidered one of the leading champions
of Alaska conservation.
The Morgan -Guggenheim interests
are charged with attempting to cap
ture these coal lands. The methods
employed to transfer the coal re-
serves are similar to the methods en-
ployed in the Teapot Dome case.
Senator La Toilette has presented a
resolution calling on the navy and in
terror departments to produce every
thing in their files pertaining to the
coal reserves.

COAL DEPRESSION
is Passing, Miners Union
Is Growing

By International Labor News Service
Charleston, w. va.,--Increased out
put of coal and greatly increased acti-
vity at the unionized mines in the ter,
ritory of District II, United Mine
Workers of America, in West Virgin
ia, is looked for by the mine workers
during the spring and sumner. Re-
cent increases in the output Z coal at
these mines is accepted by the miners
as criterion of general revival in
demand and production throughout
these fields.
Miners in the organized fields Of
West Virginia have experienced a
considerable volume of idleness this
winter because of the reduced de-
named for coal, and the generally
slackened conditions in industry.
Some of the miners have had only two
to four days work week, with con-
sequent loss in wages and time, and
holding down the aggregate of their
monthly earnings.
Contrary to expectations, however,
the membership of the miners union
in West Virginia has shown a net
increase during the winter, and with
indications that the spring and sum-
mer will show further sharp climb
in the total number of organized min
ers.
Unexpected results followed the in
vitation extended by officials Of the
district early in the winter to unor-
ganized miners to become members
of the union. A large number of min
ers responded to this invitation than
had been anticipated, considerable
percentage Of them being in the fields
that were not organized, and in some
instances where the operators have
resisted efforts in the past on the part
of their employees to become members
of the union.
The miners are optimistic in the be-
lief that the depression in mine oper-
alton and production is rapidly pas
| ing and that good year from the
standpoint of steady work is ahead Of
them

SECRECY
On Income Tax Returns OPP
posed in House

Washington, house has voted
that it's ways and means committee
and the senate finance committee shall
be permitted to inspect the income tax
returns of individuals and corpora
tions. Under the present law, these
records are carefully guarded.
The proposal caused bitter opposi-
ton. 1t passed by vote of 158 to 100
One of the leaders against the plan
was congressman Mills of New York,
who favors the Mellon tax plan. He
charged advocates of income tax pub
lcity with having political motives
He was silenced when Congressman
Wingo replied:
"Browbeating won't get you any
where. l would rather be charged
with political motives than with per-
sonal interest"
Secrecy of income tax returns has
resulted in charges of scandalous ia
voritism. Because of their influence
with "higher ups" it is stated that
large corporations are given substan-
tial tax exemptions.
Congressman Jeffers and Browning
previously declared there was manipu-
lation and discrimination in the in
come tax units of the bureau of inter
nal revenue. 1t is charged that the
has been cheated out of
millions of dollars by this method,
and that employees who have refused
to be party to the wrong have been
dismissed "for ineffciency."

HUMAN EYE is TAXED

Detroit, Mich.--The stress of mod

said DR.. Arnold Instead, he is now
crowded into cities, facing the un-
natural glare from stone buildings and

close factory work and placing perfect
vision, natures priceless possession,
in constant jeopardy. Even the schools
are demanding more eye work and
