HAVANA, Sept. machine guns were mounted and the Koldiur guard was increased today at the National Hotel, where 1300 former army officers have been besieged several days in defiance of the new government of President Ramon Grau San Martin. The guards said they had received instructions not to.

Reports from Santiago said five army lieutenants had been arrested there on charges o.f anti-revolutionary activity against the Grau San Martin government. Workers took over the Mabay sugar mill in that vicinity. Proprietors of the manganese mines at Cristo, where twelve American officers virtually have been made prisoners by striking miners, announced the works would be closed indefinitely. Meanwhile, a Havana newspaper frankly called upon the new government of President Ramon Grau Sail Martin to recognize the "lack of pc.pular warm.lh," for it as the regime faced an armed outbreak in a neighboring province and rumors of an impending movement wore circulated. El Mundo declared that "all commercial activity of the country paralyzed, national credit ha.s suffered extraordinarily, and unless we rectify this situation totally the government will fall through a process of asphyxiation." As the country operated under a "constitution o.f independence" which placed common welfare above individual rights, strikes grew throughout the island.

The government put a quick end to an uprising led by a former army captain, Fernando Araru The band, which organized, in the Pinar Del Kio province', yvyas captured at noon. Despite the newspaper's warning, government officials were optimistic financial situation, saying a decrease in tax collections was to be expected duo tc. the disturbed condition and that they expected to pay employees salaries fully Oct. 30. The government based its hopes of ending the widespread strikes on promise of an 8-hour day and a minimum wage scale throughout the country.

Fighting and bloodshed, mutiny am! rebellion, were aboard as President Grau San Martin announced a plan calling for "ab.sc.lutc independence and national sovereignty," a "perfect adjustment of political and economic interests" and general elections for a constitutional convention.

15. finally revised draft of the basic retail trade code, believed by officials to afford protection both to the consumer and the merchant, was to go today to Hugh S. Johnson, NRA administrator, for his analysis before submission to President Roosevelt. I who has had a tentative version of the code on his desk for several said he believed it would be a week before the agreement could be sent to the White House, This code establishes ten per cent i above wholesale cost as tho minimurii price at which a retailer may sell and also has a 21-per cent discount limit on trade-marked drugs I and toilet articles whose retail price is fixed by the As seen by some officials, the minimum price limit actually should result, in lower average prices to the consumer than the present, unregulated system. i The price'control would eliminate practice of many chain and I rate establishments of advertising "loss leader" items.

Under the proposed regulation stores would not be able to sell any article at -a loss, and therefore officials figure such establishments would have to keep all prices down to a minimum profit to attract trade. The master code excludes drug stores, which are to come under an almost identical separate agreement. The formula adopted in the retail code for defining wholesale cost is the price of goods charged to the retailer for the smallest wholesale quantity. N. R.

Fear For Safety Of Three Vessels Coal Operators Toil Over NRA Code Agreement President Gives Industry Until Tonight to Per- feict Draft WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.

Soft coal operators toiled today against tonight's presidential deadline to complete an NRA code for their basic industry.

The president indicated there would be no extension of time. The operators renewed their conferences near midnight, immediately after the White House meeting. Th thousands of miners in Pennsylvania's bituminous coal "holhlay" walked out in protest to delays which have held up expected, pay increases.
