The city maintains prope places for the disposal of such, and anyway the gutter Is better resting place for a banana wrapper than the sidewalk.

.FILIPINOS FIGHT
Pc S 0 WAGE IN
sue AR FIELDS
Guevera Tells of Union
On Plantations
CBy Th. Federated Pre..l

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Not
political revolt, but determination to
win a living wage on the sugar
plantations in the Philippines, is the
purpose of the new society or labor
union known as the Power of the
Poor, or Kusog So Imol, according
to Commissioner Guevara The
commissioner, interviewed by the
Federated Press on the New York
Times cable dispatch from Manila,
which declared this society to be
secret" and "armed," replied that
the charges were utter nonsense"
"The substance Of the matter"
said Guevara, who led the first
strike of seamen in the islands, and
knows the Philippine labor move
ment all thru, sis that one peso per
day is the wage of sugar plantation
laborers, and that they realize that
this is slave labor. They know that
sugar production costs are lower in
the islands than in Hawaii or Cuba,
and they propose to better their
condition. The charge of holshevism
and threatened armed revolt is gen
orally made by employers and
others interested in keeping work
ers under their private domination"
The Filipinos are jubilant at the
fact that they have blocked the at
tempts of the Wood administration
at Manila to force the sale Of the
big sugar "centrals," pledged for
loans to the Philippine Bank, TO
American sugar interests. Secretary
Weeks son-in-law, Atkins, who is
one of the big sugar barons in
Cuba, recently visited Manila to
look over the possibility Of getting
some of these mills at a bargain.
He represents Boston capitalists.
Filipino planters predict that by
1910 they win have paid off their
debt and will comparatively own
every sugar mill and refinery in the
islands.

that Will be backed up by their votes.
La Toilette may accept the St Paul
nomination without waiting for the
nomination of the Conference at
Cleveland on July 4, or he may not.
His action will depend upon the
events of the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions. Already it ap-
pears that McAdoo and All Smith are
to be supported by a great number
of wage-earners who think these men
are sympathetic with the needs of la
Dor. Moreover, the Democratic con-
vention is presumably going to reject
Al Smith on the ground that he is
a Catholic. La Toilette would be glad
to be the first choice of these work
ers, but he is willing anyhow to be
their second choice, when the Demo-
cratic convention has taken its or,
ders.
A Few Certainties
Out of the mist of political uncer-
tainties, these points emerge:
l. BaFollette will be a candidate
for president in 80 or more states.
2. He will be supported by the St.
- - wi IWA4Si Is .kbAilR 10 atSfG{l-4
lish definite Farmer-Labor party
on permanent basis, and by the rail
road-labor and other elements in the
Conference for Progressive Political
Action, which does not yet see
chance for new party, and is OPP
posed to the Workers Party element.
3. He will get enough electoral
votes to prevent the reelection of
Coolidge, and perhaps enough to
throw the election into the House.
a. He may enlist great share of
the Catholic vote, on a protest basis,
as consequence of the failure of
the Democrats to name AL Smith.
5. He will have the support of Laid
Frazier, Magnus johnson, Shipstead,
Norris, Brookhart and possibly How
ell and Borah in the campaign. He
may have the support or Wheeler and
Dill from the Democratic side Of the
Senate.
Coolidge is now trying to find
basis of agreement with Borah that
will not involve a reputation of the
foreign policy of Hughes. He needs
the help of Capper and McNary and
Norbeck and Gov. Pinchot. But he
clings to his Daugherty- Weeks crowd,
and the day of reckoning with the La
Toilette revolt-which bids fair to
be revolution-rolls nearer.

CANADIAN MINERS
STRIKING AGAINST
Open SHOP PLAN
Coal Barons Refused to
Renew Agreement

CALGARY, Alta, April 10.-Coal
operators in Western Canada are re-
fusing to renew the old agreement
with the miners union in District 1S
for three years and a strike of 5000
to 10000 miners is on in Alberta
and British Columbia. The. agree
ment, which expired April /, provid-
ed, with some modification, for the
scale and conditions prevailing in the
central competitive field of the Unit
ed States The operators want to
cut wages and to make the new con-
tract for one year instead of three.
The strike is expected to be drawn
out thru the summer in view Of large
supplies Of coal on hand. The Cana
dian Pacific Railroad claims to have
six months and the Canadian Ma
tional II months stock Of coal. Mines
have been running on part-time a
large portion Of the last year.
The strike demands include some
changes not in the present agreement
such as abolition Of tents and bunk
houses, ending Of night work and in
aucuration Of hiring thru the union
office.
