He is still waiting to see If the San
Martin regime. with its demagogic
contemporaries statements can COM
mand enough support to head off
the revolutionary movement. At the
same time the officers, who claim
the support of a large right-wing
section of the Abe capitalist land
lord secret society, and Of minority
Of the army. remain a reserve to
carry through an armed dictatorship
if the present regime is not success
full in it's aims.
This possible new development
could only be carried out with the
aid of U. S. marines.
Meanwhile, Havana remains with
out ice or laundry, as the workers

Word came from Santiago, through
what was called heavy censorship,
that the American residents had
evacuated the town and concentrated
at Rente, across the bay from San
tiago.
Incomplete reports Of actions by
workers in all parts Of the island,
striking, or taking over control of
plantations, came in, but with few

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL. - The
United States will never consent to
any form of notification of the Plat
amendment to the Cuban Constitu-
ton, which asserts Americas right to
intervene in Cuban affairs, Secretary
Of State Cordell Hull declared TO-
day.
The Platt amendment is part of
the Cuban constitution of 1901, and
is also the text of treaty between
Cuba and the United States. Its
main provisions are that the United
States claims the right to control
Cuban internal affairs, to maintain
naval and military bases in Cuba, and
to control Cubas foreign borrowings.
This declaration by Hull is not only
a refusal to withdraw America IS
heavy naval forces from Cuban
waters, but is also declaration that
marines may be landed at any time
to drown the Cuban revolution in
blood.

Cities Owe Teachers
$3O,WO,0OO In Back
Pay, Reports Reveals

WASHINGTON, Sept. l2.--About
100000 in back pay is still owing
to thousands of teachers throughout
the country, it was revealed yester-
day by report OF the National
Educational Association.
Almost 10000 school employees have
not been paid for months, the Asso-
citation reported.
In the majority of cases, the fail
ure to pay the school employees was
due to the fact that the municipal
authorities insisted on paying off the
bank loans first before paying the
teachers.

the Board of Estimate yesterday.
The bill must now go before the
Board of Aldermen.
NEW YORK.-The general welfare
committee Of the Board Of Aldermen,
Samuel Unternyer and the swarm
of real estate, taxi and utility bosses
at the hearing on the proposed city
taxes were startled out OF their list
less listening yesterday, when three
representatives of the workers
launched a smashing attack on the
bills.
Robert Minor, Communist candi-
date for Mayor Mrs William Bur-
roughs, Communist candidate for
Comptroller, and Harry Eddy of the
Taxi Workers Union section of the
Transport Workers League, proved
very definitely that the taxes we're
aimed directly at the workers and
small home owners.
i Speaking On the five-cent tax for
each taxi ride. Minor said:
"This is the most outrageous and
insulting tax OF all Untermyers bad
proposals. 1t means taking one sixth
of the income away from cab drivers,
who are nov making $40 to S12 for
an 84-hour week. One third of their
wages come in the form of tips. Tips
which ucd to average 10 cents per ride
now average cents. The city now
wishes 10 take five cents ont of the
workers pocket for each ride"
1.-THE shame of 1t is made all the
worse by the fact that the hackmen
are precisely in the category Of work
ers that the city refuses to put on
relief lists" continued Minor. The
Home Relief Bureaus will not give a
penny Of relief to any owner Of a
hackmen's license"
At this point Samuel Unter1nyer,
who had been sitting complacently
throughout the entire hearing,
jumped up and shouted.
IF I thought the money would
come out of the pockets Of the drivers,
as Mr.. Minor says, I would not have
proposed tine tax OF course if this is
really so we can change it. If these
men are working "a hours week for
$40 or S12 they should come under
the n r. A.
1.-THE n. r. A. serves TO reduce
wages, not raise them" retorted
Minor
Untermyer sat down.
Eddy, speaking for the taxi union,
said that the cab workers would use
this attack on them as the signal
to organize the 10000 hackmen in
the city.
Mrs. Burroughs stated the sources
of revenue the city sSnosSS reach If
the helping of the cd was
really their aim.
Besides eliminating the waste,
graft, pensions and high salaries for
city officials, the city could tax
billions of 6ou y Of tay>exempt real
estate, such md fash
ionable schools. Million
aires have not paid !. lc taxes for
the last four years. A higher income
tax should be passed against those
in higher brackets and a capital
levy against the rich for the relief
Of the jobless.'
Every speaker for the bosses stated
quite definitely that the tax levied
against any of the utility, real estate
or bank and life insurance firms
would be passed on to the masses.

Expect General Coal
Strike in Penna.
on Wednesday

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept.
12.-With $500 men Of this
Mellon-controlled Pittsburgh
Coal Co. already out on strike,
with over 10000 out in other
mines, and strikes set in
dozens of mines in Fayette
and Greene County for We'd
nesday morning, a huge strike
wave sentiment is sweeping
the coal fields.
u NJ w. A. officials are reporting
TO John L. Lewis. and other bureau
Gratis of the U.M.W.A. who are meet
ing in secret with the coal operators,
that the whole Pennsylvania coal
fields face strike. Furthermore, the
miners in West Virginia, Virginia
Tennessee. Kentucky and other fields
are talking and preparing for strike.
Miners are already striking in Utah,
New Mexico and Iowa. Colorado
miners are in favor of a strike.
The sharpest strike move is in
Pennsylvania. where, with the help CT
President Roosevelt. John L. Lewis
was able TO force the miners back to
work with promises. These promises
have turned so1r. and the miners are
beginning to realize only by a fight
to-the-finish strike can they win their
demand of union recognition and
higher wages.
Miners in the Yukon, Herrninie ard
other mines in Western Pennsylvania
have already voted to strike Wednes-
day.
The sentiment OF the miners in
western and southwestern Pennsylvs.-
MIA is for general coal strike.
District 8, comprising Westnlore-
land County. is already on strike to-
day BY Wednesday the Somerset.
Fayette and Greene County mines
are expected to be out. The H. c.
Prick Coal Co., a subsidiary Of the
U. S. Steel Co., Morgan-controlled Is
the dominant coal operator in this
field 1t was here the strike started
which led to the walkout OF 10000 i.
miners
The situation is more serious thar
ever as the miners went back with
the understanding that their griev-
ances would be fsvorably settled in
few days in Washington. They nov
have the fact that the proposed code
OF the operators and John l.. Lewis
makes their conditions worse.
In Western Kentucky a strike ha,
already broken out with 400 miners
out Three hundred are out in East
ern Kentucky. Two thousand minew
are striking in the Norton district OF
Virginia against the United States
Steel Corporations subsidiaries al
Gary West Va, and at Lynch, Ky.
In preparation for putting this
codes into effect, union miners are
being fired in the Kentucky and West
Virginia fields.
U. NJ. w. A. officials are doins
everything they can to stop the strike.
trying to limit the walkouts TO local
struggles and endeavoring to keep the
miners from establishing united con-
nections TO make the strike general in
all fields.
The pending general coal strike
coupled with the waIkouts in several
steel mills, is arousing the strike spirit
of the steel workers.
1t is for this reason particularly
that General Johnson and President
Roosevelt are taking direct hand in
the coal code, hoping to force It
through SO that they can tell the
miners not to strike, but to wait TO
see how the coal code works out FOR
them
In the meanwhile, the coal oprs-
tors have been consolidating their po-
sition, increasing their armed forces

ENDS CODE CONFERENCE
Revised Agreement on Trading
Likely to Be Presented to
Peek on Tuesday.

Following completion late yesterday OF
q two-day conference between grain
exchange representatives and George N.
Peek, chief administrator of the farm
act, it was indicated that new code
governing this trade will be presented
formally next Tuesday, coupled with
request for an early public hearing.
Details of the revised code, which
will supplant one that proved unsatis-
factory to Peek, were withheld until
exchange representatives complete its
dnal draft.
Yesterdays discussion revolved about
proposed provisions in the code to deal
with maximum daily fluctuations In
prices of grain, margin requirements for
traders, limitations on the volume OF
futures which any individual trader
would be permitted to hold at one time
and indemnity trading.
Representatives of the exchanges
asked that the present limits on daily
fluctuations in prices be increased, as
serting that they are interfering with
trading. The present limits are cents
on wheat, barley and rye, cents on
corn and cents on oats.
Peter B. Carey, president Of the
Chicago Board of Trade, said he be-
lieved the new code would more nearly
meet with satisfaction on the part Of
