VANCOUVER, B. C.-This port is
working It's record number Of ships
and the longshore workers, disrupted
by the defeat of the recent strike are
being mercilessly speeded up without
regard to life or limb.
There have been more accidents
on the waterfront in the last three
months than in practically the whole
existence Of this place as deep sea
port, which dates back some 20
years. To such an extent have water
front fatalities increased that the
Compensation Board of British
Columbia has increased the compen-
sation assessment on longshore work
ers from SO to go and if the pres
ent rate Of accidents keeps up there
is every indication Of further in
crease in the rate.
Under the union waterfront the
men were able to take such precau-
tions as experience had taught them
were necessary for their safety, but
now that inexperienced scabs are al
lowed to work with them they are
unable to observe these rules as the
scab speeds up regardless of his own
safety or that of his fellow workers.

Porto RicGns Fight
Absentee Ownership,
Need School Funds
tBy The reiterated Press,


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Santiago
1glesias, head of the Free Federation
of Workers in Porto Rico, now here
with the official commission asking
Congress to permit Porto Rico to
elect its own governor and make a
new constitution, will also ask Con-
gress to provide loan of $4,000
600 to Porto Rico for term of so
years.
"Two-thirds of the wealth pro-
duced in our island is sent out to the
absentee landowners" says Iglesias,
land we cannot, under present con-
ditions, maintain a civilized standard
of living. Either we must have this
help, and rid ourselves of absentee
holdings, or we must sink still lower
in the scale of misery. We need the
money for schools, public health,
sanitation, housing improvements,
woman and child welfare, and other
similar things"
A bill which Iglesias will have in
troduced in Congress provides for
the enforcement of the law of 1900,
forbidding absentee ownership of
lands, but raising the amount Of ex-
emption from 500 to / 900 acres. It
would impose additional and progress
sive taxation on all lands over 500
acres in extent held by outside in
terests and corporations. It would
empower the Porto Rican legislature
to lay double taxes on the property
and incomes of non-residents.
The Unionist and Republican party
members of the commission have re-
fused to join Iglesias in this measure.
