Strikes in Cane
Fields of Porto
Rico Averted
(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
SAN JUAN, Torto rtico, Jan. 19.-8erl-ous
general strikes among the agricul
tural laborers of the Island which weie
threatened at the opening ot the sugar
cane cutting season now seem to have
been averted, although many local strikes
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 eugar mills are
working at full force. Employers aro
paying higher waa-ea than ever before,
but are refusing to deal with the local
branch of the American Federation of
Labor They have rejected the Federa
tiona demands for an eight hour day and
a dollar ware. In many instances, how
ever, the employers have reached agree
ments direct ' with 'their worknij.
Sugar growers Charge the strikers with
having set fire to can field's, 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. . .
