By the Associated Press. HARRISBURG, Pa. August 5—The Public Service Commission yesterday sounded the death kneel of new pri- vately owned toll bridges and roads in Pennsylvania. Its ultimatum accom- panied rejection of plans for a $1,200,- 000 bridge over the Schuylkill River, near Miquon Station, Montgomery County. “This commonwealth has indicated clearly its adoption of a thoroughly crystallized public policy against pri- vately owned toll highways, whether roads or bridges,” the commission’s order stated. “This policy is clearly established by statutory action and ex- penditure of public funds to eliminate toll roads and toll bridges.” Since April 2, 1914, the commission says, the State had condemned 526 miles of privately owned toll roads on State highways at a cost of $2,251,000. In addition, 26 privately owned toll bridges between Pennsylvania and the States of New Jersey and New York, over the Delaware River, were fred at & cost of ¥ $2,101,564. MRS.

STIFLEDBY STRIKE Truck Drivers, Messengers and Tobacco Workers Latest to Go Out. By the Associated Press. HAVANA, August 5.—Despite govern- mental threats to fight strikes with martial law and bans on union meet- ings, truck drivers, messenger boys and tobacco workers joined more than 24,- 000 other employes today in strikes that kept most industrial activity at a standstill. With the right to meet peacefully re- voked, further organization of the strike movement, in which various groups seek lower operating fees and increased income, went forward in secret under the direction of a Central Committee, with headquarters in subur- ban Cerro. Many prominent Cubans professed to see a political implication in the walk- outs, which began quietly 11 days ago, especlally in view of a presidential manifesto saying some acts of strikers were seditious. See Political Significance. This gave rise to a bellef that the strikes are a passive resistance revolu- tionary movement and & complication of political troubles which United States | Ambassador Sumner Welles has sought to meditate. Omnibus and taxi drivers conferred with Secretary of Interior Zubizarreta and a solution of their grievances seemed likely, their requests having been met. Unless they decide to sup- port other striking organizations, they may resume wWork tomorrow. ‘What railway employes will do, how- ever, remained in doubt. A trainload of delegates from the Camaguey Union was en route here for a parley. An in- surgent Havana rallway men’s group voted to support the strikes. A walkout of messenger boys left de- livery of cables and telegrams to emer- gency staffs. Nearly 200 Arrestea. Nearly 200 strikers have been ar- rested, among them Jose Llera, secre- tary of the Motorists and Conductors’ Union. Organizations joining the strike today included five tobacco workers’ groups, the Truck and Cart Drivers Union and the Union of Employes of the Coal Industry. Military units were called to Santa | Clara Province after severdl violent | demonstrations. ‘Timbers were at hand for building barricades in streets. Eleven | persons, including three policemen, were hurt in outbreaks in Cienfuegos. Doctors in that southern city announced | they would strike today. Many Industries Hit. Those idle here and in other parts of | Cuba included also dairymen, bakers, | reporters, meat dealers, laundrymen. | dock workers, gasoline dealers and printers. Cafe employes, shoe workers, | grocery clerks, factory workers and others considered joining the strikers. Meanwhile Ambassador Welles dis- cussed further with opposirg factions a program of reforms, including a modi- fled presidential plan of government.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5 (P). | San Francisco inventor has applied the principle of lifting himself by his boot- straps to take a horseback ride on a bicycle. And it works.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘The Government is viewing with ex- treme apprehension the situation in Cuba where the strike which is at pres- ent in progress may lead to & very un- pleasant situation, with the possibility of an American intervention looming in the background. Ever since his arrival in Havana, Ambassador Sumner Welles has ap- plied" himself to bring about a settle- ment of the internal strife between President Machado and the various groups of opposition who desire his im- mediate resignation. The task of Mr. Welles is not a thanklul one, since his endeavors to bring about peace in Cuba could be in- terpreted as an intermixture of a for- eign power in the affairs of an inde- pendent state. Willing to Have Him. President Machado, as well as the leaders of the opposition parties, in- dicated, however, their willingness to have the American Ambassador act as & medlator. For a while it seemed that the negotiations carried on under Mr. Welles’ supervision would bring about & settlement of the present troubles, by Machiade adopting a more liberal policy and the opposition to wait until the 1935 presidential elec- tion in order to oust Machado by legal means. In the meanwhile, as the sitaution appeared ocu:l mprg:e, negotiations for a recipr trade agreement were initiated. About two weeks ago, however, Gen. Machado seemed to be backing out of the promises for s constitutional re- gime he had indicated to be willing to give Cuba for the rest of his admin- istration. While officially he told Welles that he stuck to his former promises, indirectly by his action and speeches he showed his intention of reverting to the dictatorial regime of a few months ago. Welles Disappointed. Ambassador Welles was disappointed. The tariff conversations were suspended, not because Welles desires to swing a club at Machado's head, but because DE LUXE SUNDAY DINNER $7.00 Regular Value, $1.50 COURSE NO. 1 Hors d'Oeurre.

Must Protect Investments. But if the present strike cannot be subdued and develops into a general revolution against the Machado regime, there is a grave danger that the Ameri- can Government might be compelled to intervene.. Besides the obligations under the Platt amendment there is more than a billicn dollars of American money in that island and those invest- ments will have to be protected. Machado is reported to still have complete control over the police and the army. As long as these two fcrces remain faithful to him, it is probable that the new revolution will fizzle out The Sa pathy of the army and the Machadg regime ccllapses, it is feared that the American Government cannot remain as disinterested spectator should a chaotic situation develop in Cuba.
