-Dio lectura a una carta de un
amigo de La parte de oriente de la
isla, en- que describe la situaci6n
general de los trabajadores y la ne
cesidad de que los hombres altruis-
tas Y generosos de las flas del
trabajo cooperen y ayuden a le-'
vantar las trincheras de defensas
del trabajo, a fin de elevar y dig
nifcar a estos hombres y nujeres.
Esa es la situaci6n que prevalece
en- todas las secciones industriales
agrico1as de Puerto Rico, expire
sa Iglesias, que nos compete a po-
ner en- actividad todas nuestras
energfas, hasta lograr levantar una
poderosa, inteligente v bien disci-
plinada organization industrial
agricola, que nos pcnga en- condicio-
res de mejorar los salaries, las ho-
ras de trabajo Y Ell medic de vida,
sin dejar de ejercitar nuestros de-
rechos como ciudadanos HIRES y
corscientes.
Hace una description de como sc
hallaban los trabajadores cuando
lego Puerto Rico y comenz6 a
difundir las ideas y principles que
hacia va muchos amos Sc propaga-
ban en- toda Europa y America. La

clase de capitalists y profesio-
males Sc eonsideraban los dnicos
/ que tenian dereeho a la repre-
sentaci6n Y direction de los asun~
tos p1blicos. Penetra despues el
orador en- los primeros actos Y
! luchas que realizan los trabaja-
dores con ell prop6sito de desta-
car su personalidad y mejorar sus
condiciones de vida.
"La voz del trabajo,-dice ell
organizador Iglesias,-no repereu-
tia nj en- ell seno de los partidos
pol1ticos nj en- los concejos nuni-
cipales nj ell Parlamento. Era un
sueno, por esa epoca, ell que la re-
presentation del trabajo como tai,
pudiera llegar esos puestos. Era
una cosa incomprensible. Cuando
Espana concedi6 la autonomia
Puerto Rico, recuerda, que al pla-
nearse las elecciones autonomicas
lego a expresarse por I'm perio-
dico: "Iglesias puede ser conce-
jal". ESQ equivalia, a que siendo
el peninsular podfa llegar a ese
puesto, pero no asi sus compane-
ros, como Ramon Romero Rosa,

sividad en- los aspectos polfticos

Zurich, May j. -- In The opinion Of 2 Zurich justice of the peace motor car drivers must necessarily halt when they approach women, cattle or hens, for nobody can fell which way they wlll run, but there lsnt any reason to suspect that two men standing tn the middle Of the road Ttl run in opposite directions when 2 drIyer sounds hls horn.' With thls reasoning the judge de- c,ined 10 fns a driver for running down a male pedestrian.
 The evidence showed that two men standing in the road paid no attention when the driver sounded his horn. but when the car tried @ pass them they ran in opposite dl- recuons and the driver explained f was tmpossibls 10 avoid both of them.

$5OO,OOO Satisfaction
Is Near Completion

SEDRO-WOOLLEY. - The half-mil
lion dollar substation being built by
the Puget Sound Power & Light Com
pany at this place is rapidly nearing
completion. This substation will take
the power from the Baker River plant
at 100000 volts and step it down to
$4,000, sending it out on the lower
voltage on four different lines, one Of
which will supply Sedro-Woolley, Bur-
lington, Mount Vernon and other near
by towns, another Bellingham, third
up-river towns, Concrete, Hamilton,
Lyman and others, and the fourth,
which has not yet been hooked up,
will be for Clear Lake.
The plant will be kept running con-
stantly with little chance for stoppage
of power, as 1t is being connected
with the company's power plants at
Snoqualmie Falls and other places,
so that in case of trouble at one point,
power can be supplied by any of the
other plants.

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO.-The ap-
pointment of e. N. Humphrey, expert
mechanic, as instructor to devote his
entire time to shop work in the COM
ing 16 weeks short course in auto
mechanics, was announced at the col
lege of agriculture. This addition to
the staff of it's first full-time member

Of the expected increase in enrolment
and because Of broadening OF

tober 26, consists of practical instruc-
tion in the operation and repair OF
automobiles, tractors, and trucks. A
Case tractor will be available through,
out the course for demonstration and
study. General instruction also is
given to enable the student to secure
"a working knowledge of automobile
construction. Students who finish the
work of the course in a satisfactory
manner and afterward complete si1
months of satisfactory work as auto
mobile or tractor repairmen, will be
given certificates. Assistance will be
given in securing jobs.
