manner and with such rates of wage
and other conditions of employment,
and with such prices for goods pro-
duced and sold as the court shall from
time to time adjudge proper.
The bill Is based upon the legal
theory of the coal situation given by
II. w. Chaplin, a lawyer, who says:
'Since the public have a right In
the mines, a right to have coal forth
with mined for immediate consump-
ton and have a right to have that coal

Though recognizing in the request of

the withdrawal only upon the compile

plated in the Plat amendment. Both
that amendment and the Cuban consti-
tuition provide that a permanent treaty
shall be signed between the United

tinue the sanitary measures inaugur-

States lands for coaling or naval sta

Isle Of Pines In a subsequent treaty.
For It's part the United States is to
maintain the independence OF Cuba,
and protect individual life, property
and liberty. Now there is no assur-
ance, at the present moment, that the
Cuban government has a sufficient dis
tinctively Cuban army at hand to un-
dertake to care for these things itself.
Moreover. it is regarded as essential
that such provisions in the projected
treaty as those touching coaling sta
tions and the ownership of the Isle of
Pines be expressly arranged for in a
treaty that shall be absolutely binding
upon both parties, and only when these
things are done will the small remain
ing force of the United States troops
be withdrawn.
