Strikes in Cane Fields of Porto Rico Averted§ (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) | SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 19.—Seri- ous general strikes among the agricul- tural laborers of the island which weie | threatened at the opening of the sugar cane cutting season now seem to have been averted, although many local atrikes now are in progress. Indications are that the laborers will not go out in such force as they did a year ago when more than 40,000 were on strike. Virtually all of the sugar mills are working at full force, Employers are paying higher wages than ever before, but are refusing to deal with the local {branch of the American Federation uf Labor. They have rejected the Federa- tions demands for an elght hour day and a dollar wage. In many instances, how- ever, the employers have reached agree- ments direct with ‘thelr workmifh. Sugar growers ¢harge the strikers with having set firé to can fields, but the {laborers deny this. A good many hun- |dred acres of cane have been burned. | This years crop is expected to be ‘the largest ever known on the island.
