publlcs. Officially there is not a flaw
IN our relations with Mexico, assert
these wise ones, but it is pointed out
that General Madero was able to get
arms into Mexico without apparent
trouble, while every other Mexican
revolutlonist Of the past has found
united States marshals quick t,
gather in all suspicious rifles, shot
guns and revolvers that any patriotic
Mexican in the United States might
possess.
The Political Refugee Defense
league, the organization which has
freed large number of Russian and
Mexican refugees from United States
Ja1ls and extradition, is actively aid
ing Azcona, and the leagues secre-
tary, now in Washington, has the
promised aid of certain radical
senators and representatives who
brought about similar hearings of
Mexican prosecutions before the rules
committee at the last session Of con-
gress.
Azcona's case is exactly similar to
those in the series of arrests of DO
htical refugees in this country caused
by the Mexican government after the
uprising of June, 1908. Affirming
that the .revolution1sts, who had
sought an asylum in this country,

ment were found to be absolutely
without proof and the men were re-

TAFT :RAPS :8-H0UR
LAW IN HIS MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. &c.
The 8hour law as he would have It
Is described by President Taft in his
message to congress. at considerable
length. With many preliminary high
sounding phrases he solemnly affirms
his desire to make the law effective.
All goes we'll until the tail end of
his recommendations are reached and
then the following weakening list of
exceptions are pointed out by men,
bers of the labor lobby as practically
multiplying all that has gone before.
Here are the presidents words:
TO require, however, that every
small contract of manufacture en-
tered into by the government should
DO carried out by the contractor with
men working at eight hours would
be to impose an 1ntolerable burden
upon the government by limiting its
sources of supply and excluding al
together the great majority of those
who would otherwise compete for its
business.
THE proposed act recognizes this

conform to particular specifications or
not"
That these deftly. inserted ''excep-
tions'' to the 8-hour law are such as
will allow mass Of evasions by gov
eminent contractors is the firm be-
lief of labor leaders in Washington.
A law with leak is as fatal to wage
workers as no law at all, and the de-
partment Of Justice is working over
time to find the holes which will turn

machinery and material for the Pa
mama canal over to shops that work
