American Federation of Labor Thinks That Porto Rican Low Wage of 60 Cents for 11 Hours Is Too Low SAN JUAN, (By Mail.)}—Complaint that wages “as low as 60 cents for 11) Consolidated hours work” are paid in Porto Rico w: made by Peter J. Brady and Anthony McAndrew, representatives of,the Amer- ican Federation of Labor in a letter they sent recent!y to Acting Governor Jose E. Benedicto demanding “a living wage” for Porto Rican workers. Mes- srs. Brady and McAndrew were sent to the island to investigate labor con- ditions. In their letter to the Acting Governor they denounced the situation here as being of such a character as to make Porto Rico a “living grave yard.”” The investigators asserted that in some rare instances wages as high 2s $1.50 had been paid for 11 hours work but only where the best and strongest men could me secured. “The rate of pay for women for the same number of hours was 30 to 60 cents and chil-| dren get from 10 cents up,” they in formed Signor Benedicto. “Many of these children are far below the legal age for employment. Necessities of liv- ing being so high, it is impossible for these unfortunate people to live as hu- man beings should.” In asking the acting governor to call} a conference of the sugar interests, the labor investigators requested that the minimum wage of all male workers be set arbitrarily at $2.50 per day of eight hours and at $1.26 for women and boys but that when the, work of the latter was equal to that of the men the rate of $2.50 be paid. They added: “The sugar profits are enormous, so there should he no excuse for these soulless individuals and corporations and Porto Rican statesmen. This star- ving condition of the people of Porto Reco should not continue a moment longer. The very mén who sit in the Porto Rican legislature are tho worst Profiteers and the most heartless. It was after the receipt of the for: going letter that many of the suga operators agreed to advance wa En) to 59 per cent with $1 to $1.50 a day as a minimum e. ————__ NEW SYNDICATE INBOLTONFIELD First Well to Be Drilled within Les ‘ Than Mile of Present Production The entrance of another company in} the Bolton Creek field, the new struc ture proved by the bringing in of wells| activities, by the New York Oil company and th Poison § “Bolton peek = syndica is announced with th the Casper Bolton Creek syndicate, cap- Italized at $100,000 and officered by E.
