SAYS CREEL WILL NEVER
BE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
Merchant of Southern Republic De-
clares There Are Reasons Why the
Ambassador May Not Be
Chief Executive

Speaking of the statement that AM
bassador Enrique Creel was slated for
the presidency of Mexico, Juan Fer.
nandez. a merchant of Mexico City, said
last night: THAT can never be. En-
rique Creel is, first of all, too unpopu-
lar. But there is another reason. Creel
is not eligible under the constitution.
"Creers father was British subject
and never abandoned his allegiance to
England's crown. The constitution of
Mexico states most explicitly that to
be eligible to the presidency both pa
rents must have been Mexicans born.
Even if these conditions were not
as they are, Creel could not be elected
by the vote of the people. His unpopu-
larity is widespread and he would not
stand the slightest chance of election
there. There is probably not much
foundation for the statement that Por-
firio Diaz is ready to retire. He will. In
all likelihood, remain dictator Of Mexico
until he dies"

OUTLOOK FOR STRIKE
BECOMES MENACING
CARPENTERS SEEM BENT ON
MAINTAINING SCALE
Mccarthy of San Francisco Addresses
Meeting of Workmen, and Trouble
May Possibly Extend to
Los Angeles

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, May 29.-Practically no
change was reported today in the labor
situation, which threatens to end in a
general strike of workmen belonging
to the local carpenters union. Menu
bers of the union committee say to-
day that the situation looks encourag-
ing, but beyond that will make no
statement. M. g. Hughes, national Or
ganizer, states that conferences are be-
ing held with the contractors in the
effort to induce them to agree to the
higher rate of wages, $3.50 per day.
Additional interest was given to the
situation today when 1t was learned
that P. H. Mccarthy. who is at the
head of union labor In the building line
on the Pacific coast, was here yester-
day and today. He spoke last night at
largely attended open meeting at the
carpenters hall in the Stanton build
ing, and the only reference to the
waIkout of a dozen men employed by
one contractor was made by him. He
returned to San Francisco tonight.
1t is said that the local union Is
determined to stick to the $3.50 mini
mum scale adopted two weeks ago and
that the revolt began Tuesday was al
ready imminent before the cut made
by Contractor Hall, although the claim
is maze LHdL the CONTRACTORS Hight
have been gradually induced to pay
the higher wage but for the develop
ments of this week. The local carpen-
tiers claim that they will have the
backing of the national joiners and
carpenters union in case 1t is decided
to strike. and there is said to be a
possibility of an extension of the
trouble to Los Angeles because work.
men of that city, who are members of
the state organization, work in Pasa-
dena. The local union is not allied
with the state organization or with the
other local unions through either the
state or national organization, and this,
it is said, would tend to localize the
disturbance.
Today cards were distributed asking
the aid of the merchants in maintaining
the higher wage rate. Negotiations are
said to be now pending for the organi-
cation of all the local unions into a
branch building trades union of the
American Federation of Labor, which
would tie up the building trades in the
event of a strike. 1t is said that the
present condition might also be used
to induce the local union to ally itself
with the state organization.

That Is Starting Vigorous Cam
paign Against Compulsory
Vaccination

Special 10 The Herald
OCEAN PARK, May 29.-An interest
ing combination of circumstances has
arisen because OF the action of the
Crescent Bay Women's club, one of
the most influential organizations in
the bay communities, in opening an
aggressive campaign against the COM
pulSory vaccination of children desir-
ing to enter the public schools. At q
largely attended meeting last night,
over which Mrs. G. H. Richie pre-
sided, 1t was unanimously voted to
organize an anti-vaccination league,
and Mrs. w. M. Kendall was made
chairman of the new organization.
The interesting point of this is that
Mrs. kendall is the wife of DR.. Ken
dali, who is health officer, chairman of
the board Of health and a member of
the school board.
The doctor tonight would not tell

ton what his personal view upon the
subject of compulsory vaccination was,
but he said there was no doubt about
what his public duty entails.
while the law is upon the statute
book" he said, II will see to it that
1t is enforced, quite regardless of what
my personal feeling may be. 1t just
happens that l did not know until a
moment ago of the position which
Mrs. Kendall occupies in this matter,
but that cannot make any difference
to me as a public official.
If" he continued. 1.-The women of
the Crescent Bay Wor- 49, club want
the present law repealed they have de-
clared their intention in the right way
when they say they will advocate the
ele, ton to the assembly of only such
men as will vote to repeal it. They
will make 1t q political issue. An act
of repeal passed the last assembly but
was vetoed by the governor. If the
example of the Crescent Bay Women's
club is followed by all the clubs of the
state, as may prove to be the case
anti-compulsory vaccination may be-
come a plank in a political party's
platform"
Mrs. G. H. Richie, president of the
club named, said the members had nc
objection to the vaccination of chill
dren when the parents desired it OF
submitted to 1t, but making it COM
pulsory as a prerequisite to attendance
at school was heathenish. She said the
club would use all its influence to Sc
cure the nomination and election of
assemblymen favorable to the repeal of
the act and would endeavor to get all
other women's clubs in the state to do
the same.
