whether he be the Board of the
Directors O rthe President of the
United States if he deals unfairly,
Why did the president give him
such an excellent letter if he was
to be fired, and then Mr.. Joseph
concluded that "the letter given
Mr.. Lightbourne is license to
hold that job"
There was high praise general
ly for those Puerto Ricans who
are residents of the Island and
their work. But native workers in
terviewed said they would pre-
fer a white" continental to hold
such a position because experience
has shown. them that they will not
be pushed out of their posts as is
most likely under the new appoin
tee who has Just arrived in the Is
lands.

formed him tina this duties will be
assumed by the Mill S~uperinten-
dent, (Which will be Romoguera)
on January Is. The letter then
went on to praise Mr.. Lightbourne
for his "unquestioned loyalty and
ability.
He pointed out that Colon Mo-
ret was a Chemist and that Ro-
Fmoguera is a chemist. He indicat-
led then that Loyola Moorhead,
with his years of experience here
will be pushed into the back
ret is a C chemist and that Ro-
ground. This was holly denied by
both Messrs. Olson and Schade.
But Mr.. Lightbourn pointed out
that if Moorhead gets 5000 and
the other man gets $500 for the
same work thatswould be $500 and
that certainly is not economy he
said. He said he was able, to make
the old machines work but now
that new parts are being but in
he is not thought competent to
run them. He said he liked st.
Croix and that he had put his
whole heart and soul into his job.
Turning loose a verbal blast he
said the advisers from Puerto
Rico don't give a damn about
your welfare or that of the Is
land". However, he said, I am
leaving with clean hands, and
wished them all a Merry Christ
mas.
At was at this point that Mr..
Joseph rising in apparent anger,
said he is a friend of MI. Schade
and MI. Olson, but that he does
not know Mr. Romoguera but
that he sees no Justification for
bringing him in to replace Mr..
Lightbourne, who has worked
faithfully for two years and it is
only fair to give him a chance to
take off this crop.

for years, he said,

the natives and it was understood
that they would be given first
preference IN all cases when they
r of proven ability. He went on
to say that a number of things are
happening in the cane fields
which many persons do not know.
Direct reference was made of the
manager of Estate Sion Farm
named Regalado Benitez, known
as Gallo, whom he said tries to
get rid of every native that works
there and if he had the power he
would kick out every native; that
if there was only five days work
he would give natives only two;
that he was going to such lengths
that he was threatened by one of
the supervisors some days ago,
He made references to the fact
that while natives had to really
qualify to become mechanics
others are given tools for the first
time and placed in the garage. It
makes no difference, Mr.. Harrigan
said, whether the supervisor be
Puerto Rican, or Mexicangthere is
no concern with nationality but
natives should be treated with
Justice. He recalled the bringing
in of a timekeeper by the Comb
pany last February who was paid
SITS where the native who had
been doing the job received $llO
per month Finally it was found
that he was unable to do the job.
He then told about a mason
brought in who is being paid $l2
per day and; his meals supplied,
working alongside sof an expert
enead native mason who is paid
only $3.50 per day and no meals.
These are injustices which must
be corrected, he pointed out.
Vice President Speaks
Axel Schade, vice president was
the next speaker. He reviewed
his record since coming to the
Company and proved that he had
always been fair and just to all.
He pointed out that every appoint
ment of Puerto Ricans in the Vir-
gin Islands Company was made by
natives; and In almost every case
those discharged were released
from their posts by natives.
Mr.. Schade explained that he
was surprised when he saw the
voucher for food. That many of
the complaints he had no prior
knowledge Nof and that he and
MI. Olson would investigate every
ease of injustice, including one in,
which it is claimed on the one
hand that a tractor driver brought
in recently could do twice as
much work As the native drivers.
CTo this the audience shouted de-
risively.1
Mr.. Lightbourne, Chief Engi-
neer, then asked permission to
speak. He remarked that he was
the reason 70 rthis meeting. Mr..

IN the field of picture books,
1949 seems to have been q

~N the field of picture books,
1949 seems to have been q
year of drought.
Books of cartoons, comics,
photographs and other pictorial
material deluged my desk in both
1916 and 1947. In 1948. however,
the downpour slackened consider
ably, and this year it amounted
to little more than drizzle. =.
A likely explanation for the
dearth of cartoon books is that
the newspapers and magazines
are now publishing so much ex-
cellent material in this field that
there is little demand for more.
AS for books of photos and seri-
Gus drawings, increased produc-
ton costs probably have made
them extremely risky ventures for
most publishers.
But the situation is beneficial
to the book-buying public. Pub
fishers, being business men, will
not gamble on books of doubtful
sales appeal. Consequently, there
are fewer downright poor picture
books this year than in previous
years, and your chances of COM
ing upon a really good one prob
ably are better than they ever
have been before.
