1000 MARINES
DESPATCHED TO
NICARAGUA WAR
Foist Wall st. Election
on Country

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
despatch of over a thousand marines
to Nicaragua and a presidential de-
cree, issued by Diaz, multiplying the
action of the Nicaraguan congress are
the latest means by which the United
States hopes to effect its super
vision" of the Nicaraguan elections.
State department officials have
made it clear that the United States
marine forces Will take charge of
the elections this fall in spite of the
recent decision of the congress at
Managua and the popular hostility to
United States intervention.
Altho the noet recent action against
the Meow bill has come from the fol-
lowers of the conservative Chamorro,
who has presidential aspirations and
who has openly announced that the
state department favors the liberal"
candidate, General Moncada, the ma
rines anticipate most difficulty from
General SANDING. SANDING has large
popular following and if he succeeds
in eluding the marines for the next
few months, which appears likely, he
will throw a monkey wrench into the
Mccoy election scheme. With the
rainy season few months off, the
chances Of Sandino's holding out until
the elections in the fall are extremely
favorable.

"We cannot be silent any longer!

Four former strikebreakers who
were recently brought out of the

DECISION FAvORS
COAL OPERATORS
AT ALL POINTS
Move Seen as Cappelini
Betrayal

PITTSToN, Pa, March 18.-Pro-
gressive miners here are pointing to
the decision by umpire C. P. Neill
handed down Saturday favoring the
coal operators, on the contrac5 min
ing grievance as a confirmation Of
the fact that the Cappelini forces in
District l are working together with
the operators, and that the contract
ing system will never be eliminated
under the Lewis-Cappelini rule.
Arbitration Favors Bosses.
&c. P. Neill of Washington, D. c..
umpire of the anthracite board of
Cancellation, in a decision handed
down Saturday favored the opera
tors at every point. The contrac
system, according to TIE decision,
violates no provisions in the existing
collective agreements between the
operators and the union.
The umpire takes the position
hat the grievances complained OF
are not such as arose out of the
existing practices, but that the griev-
ance is with the system itself. 1.-THE
grievance is an effort to secure a
decision" the umpire holds, (which
will prohibit such subcontracting
4. but it is obvious that the UNI
pire could not give such a decision"
1t is accordingly made clear, pro-
gressive miners point out, that the
umpire holds that only minor grew
ances under the contracting system,
and not the system itself is the sub
ject of arbitration.
A Crucial Decision.
The decision of this grievance
known as No. 2035 which applies in
the case of the Hudson Coal Com
pany, will be followed in the case Of
all similar disputes in the district, it
is generally taken for granted.
The grievance was filed nearly
two years ago, progressive miners
point out. Inc long delay and the
fact that the decision has come just
at this moment when the issue is
uppermost IN Pitts on is a conflrma-
tion that the treacherous officials OF
the s-Cappelini machine are
working togeCher with the Nuns
operators.
The grievance was signed by Cape
lini, himself as a gesture OF oppvsl1Iolf
to the vicious contracting system.
During the whole time Cappelini has
done nothing to oppose tne system,
nor has he sougho to secure a de-
cision in order that the issue could
be fought out. 1t was further re-
called that the whole question of ar
bitration was at the center of the
1925 fight of the anthracite miners.
Through the betrayal Of the -ewis-
Cappelini machine the arbitration
scheme was put over agains- the DIT
ter opposition of the coal diggers.
Cappelini still refuses to admit that
he is responsible for the arbitration
scheme.
One Fight.
The fight against the vicious con-
tracing system which the Cappelini
machine is upholding indirectly IS al
the same time the fight against
Cappelini and Lewis. Michael Kosik,
vice president ana John boyian, IL
spector in the first inspection division
in District /, according to a report,
have stated that the decision does not
affect the Pi.tston fight against the
contracting system. This is lodging
the issue, progressives declare.

WASHINGTON, March .16-Agi- tation in Porto Rico for complete internal independence is base lon a complete misunderstanding of concrete facts" in the opinion of President Coolidge who holds that the ills besetting the Island have resulted from injudicious use by Porto Ricans of their free dom for which they "are barely pared" This is his answer to the resolution adopted by the Island Legislature appealing fo. freedom and to devise means for recovering from what the Legisla- ture termed a grave economical situation.
 President Coolidge said the Porto Rican Government exercises a greater degree of sovereignty over the internal affairs than the government of any state or terri tory of the United States and said the present difficulty is the result of that exercised by the elected representatives of the peo- pie of Porto Rico. authority grant ed by the present liberal organic law.

Poincare Wins Debate
 By Foreseeing Attacks

PARIS. March 16 = Premier Poincare has been amazing friends and enemies alike by the crushing quality of his replies in parliament to all sorts of trick questions and studied traps laid for him by the opposition. < What he does. those on the in- side say. is to anticipate every question, foresee the nature of all attacks. and prepare a careful an swer for each.
 Recently, when she spoke for eight hours on finance he had two piles of papers before him. The first consisted of documents used in his long speech and the second was the group of answers to pos. sible attacks. Whenever an op- position orator interjected some remark the premier fished out his answer, where were marshalled figures and documentary proof, and effectually settled the aues. tiOn.
 In this instance. he over-esti- mated his enemies. True to his reputation as great lawyer, he foresaw all the attacks and had a comfortable supply of answers left over, unused.
