PUERTO RICO MOVES ALONG By NICOLAS NOGUERAS RIVERA, Secretary-Treasurer, Puerto Rico Free Federation of Workingmen
ON July 25, 1898, American troops landed in Puerto Rico and the working people of the island started a new life under the American flag.
Almost a year later Santiago Iglesias, born in Spain, founded the PuertoRico Free Federation of Workingmen. This was something new for Puerto Rican labor. The date was July 18, 1899.
During the 400 years of Spanish control over the island, the working people had suffered under the exploitation of a privileged class. They had labored from sun to sun for a pittance. There were no school facilities for their children. Owning no property, they did not vote.
