SAN Jl’AN. Porto Rico, July 26.—
Five thousand Porto Rican workers
are wanted by a Virginia coal mining
company to bring its mines up to 10ft
per cent output. At present these
mines are under producing about 75
per cent. The solution of this problem
lies in labor, and tin- Virginia corpor
ation beli**\os that Porto Rico can fur
nish that It is willing to pay trans
portation and provide homes for Porto
Rico laborers if a way can be found
for bringing them North. This has
been made much more perplexing by
the sinking of tin- -t*amship Carolina
and the danger of other submarine at
tacks.
Still. Special Agent Roberts, who is
in charge i tin- tr.nisportation of tin
island workers to tin* mainland, is
hopeful He believes that the federal
government is going to make every
effort to take North workers who
register for employment. He points
out that iti the I'nit*o Slates there is
