ers today.
U.M.W.A. officials, working with n.
RA officials, are trying to cover the
fact that the movement is a strike,
calling it holiday" or suspension
of work" pending the passage OF the
coal code
A similar strike is on in Iowa, where
5000 miners flouted their officials
and went on strike.
Five counties in Pennsylvania are
involved in the strike. The miners
are demanding recognition Of the u.
MWA higher wages, lower hours,
and improved conditions.
The strikers are disregarding the
orders Of the officials to remain at
work until a code is passed here.
President Roosevelt himself is TAX
ing the leading part in the prepsra-
ton of code, hoping to stop the ad-
vance of the strike by rushing
through a fake agreement between
Lewis and the coal operators.
Big coal operators, like the Pitts
burgh Coal Co.. H. c. Fricli, and
other U. S. Steel mines, are stocking
up heavily with coal, preparing for a
major strike, or to fire men when
the code goes into effect.

Army Base Preparing
for Cuban Occupation
(By a Worker Correspondent. }

(By a worker correspondent
BROOKLYN, N. "a friend
of mine who works in the Brook
Ign Army Base, has told me of
some of the preparation for Cuban
intervention taking place there.
Last week, searchlights mounted
on trucks were shipped. A car
load of machine guns and auto
matte rifles are to be shipped out,
or have already been shipped. In
addition, several powerful radio
transmitting sets have been ship
ped. They are also getting out
field telephone sets.
The ships that have already been
dispatched to Cuba could only

terial being sent that U. S. troops
may very likely be transported.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.--It was with
grim array of naked, fixed bayonets
that the MIRA parade began yester-
day at 1870 p. m. 1t was the uni
formed regiments of state troops, po-
lice, and National Guard that first
came into view. At first all you could
see. was bayonets and police clubs.
Then, roar was heard, and every
body looking up to see the 46 mill
tary bombing planes sweep by in at
lacking formation. Those planes
could have dropped high explosives
that would have made a bloody
SHAMELESS of that place. And every
body looking up got the idea.
The brutal, armed force of the
state-that was the first impact of
the parade arranged by the New
York MIRA administration in closest
cooperation with the police, army
and navy. They wanted the thou
sands of workers who lined the side
walks to get a good view of that
cleaning steel
Then the military bands began TO
sound. And it was war songs that
they poured into the ears of the
marchers-"Over There" Keep
the Home Fires Burning" etc.
Everywhere leather-faced, evil-eyed
Lieutenants were swinging their arms
stiffly in salute. 1t was like 1917.
The reviewing stand in front of the
library at Fifth Ave. and And St.
was packed with Generals, bankers
Government officials, politicians, and
ladies in summer furs.
/. Every now and then as one Of the
ladies' waved her hands in gracious
condescenSion at the marchers a
diamond ring would glow in the sun
that shone fitfully through the clouds.
Whalen Smiles
Grover Whalen stood there, flank
ed by General Nolan and General
johnson, the MIRA chief. He seemed
happy about something. Every now
and then one Of the marchers called
his name. And Grover Whalen
smiled. He simply laps up public ap-
plause.

HAVANA, Sept. 13.-Danger
of a blood bath by American
troops, to drown the still ris-
ing wave of strikes and anti
imperialist struggles of the
Cuban masses, is high tonight,
as the Grau San Martin regime
is showing itself increasingly
unable to head off the workers mil
itancy.
Many new strikes, and increasing
militancy among the striking work
ers, we're reported from all parts OF
the island.
Thirty U. S. warships, including one
battleship, capable of firing shells Is

word to land troops under a barrage

declared, Il feel happy to say Cuba

Government An Armed Dictatorship
The new government, with the aid
of the armed reactionary students
and certain sections Of the army is
feyerishly striving to impose an arm
ed dictatorship like Machado's, In
order to prove it can smash the re-
evolutionary movement without help
from American marines. Former Pres
ident Mario Menocal, the Nationalist
Union headed by Carlos Mendieta
and the ABC capitalist Landlord
secret society have refused support,
believing the new regime is too weak
to smash the revolution.
American residents and the richest
local capitalists are bombarding We'll
les with demands that American
troops be landed.
This is the response to an ever
higher wave Of anti-imperialist feel
ing among the Cuban masses, and
constantly sharper demand for a
living wage on the. part of indus
trial and plantation workers, express
sed in still growing wave of strikes,
and in numerous demonstrations.
Communists Lead Strikes
The Communist Party and the re-
volutionary National Confederation of
Labor have taken the lead in many
of these strikes and demonstrations.
Refused their demands, railway
workers have gone out on strike again
in Camaguey.
