GENERAL STRIKE
 DETERMINED AT MEETING TONIGHT
Positive Declaration Made Today by International Brotherhood
 of TeamSters
Especial from United Press }


 New York, Nov 10-The union driy- CTS of most of the big coal confbanies in the city joined the express drivers strike, today. Fifty men, in the em- ploy of one company, left their wag- ons in the yards.
 The International Brotherhood of TeamSters declared positively, today. that the question of a general strike would be determined at a mass meet ing tonight. There seems no doubt that, if the express companies continue their refusal to arbitrate the dispute the general strike. involving 10000 drivers. will be called.
 State Labor Commissioner, John Williams. came to New York, today, from Albany. He declared that, if the express companies do not yield, he will invoke the State law which gives him the right to examine the companies books and subpoena and examine witnesses. He believes he will be able to force the companies to arbitrate The express companies have prepared an appeal to the Fed eral courts for an injunction to pre- vent the police from impounding ex- press wagons driven by unlicensed drivers. The police, acting on orders from Mayor Gaynor, have already seized three such wagons. The com panies allege that the ordinance re- quiring all drivers to be licensed has been imperative for years. The ex- press companies have made applica- tion for 300 drivers licenses but it will be many days before all these can be acted upon.
 In anticipation of serious rioting. following Police Commissioner Crop sey's decision not to furnish express wagons with mounted police guards 900 men have been assigned to strike d1Ity

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
 SEEK TO REMAIN DESPITE A
 DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS MAJORITY
If Precedents of Past Years Are Followed Nominees of County Caucus Will Be Ratified By Legislature Republicans Hope to Upset This Idea

The incoming General Assembly will elect successors to County Commission CTS Simeon Pease of Fairfield, and John Brophy of Ridgefield, both Republicans. Each of these gentlemen has an nounced his candidacy for re-elec- tion, and inasmuch as the next Gen. eral Assembly will be Republican in both branches they expect to succeed themselves. The Democrats are in the majority in Fairfield county, and propose to make a stiff fight for recog- hilton. The Democrats believe that sentatives and Senators elected in Fair field county are Democrats that they are entitled to representation on the County Commission. They are pre- pared to make strenuous fight to this end.
 For years past it has been the cus- tom of the Legislature to recognize the flee of County Commissioner. Now for the first time in many years the Dem ocrats have the majority and if the Legislature follows out its custom of the past, the Democratic candidates will be victorious. But the Republi- cans feel that they can set past pre- cedents at naught, so long as a good office for Republican is the stake.
 A Farmer reporter today obtained an interview with County Commissioner Brophy who stated that he and his brother commissioner, Simeon Pease, were candidates for renomination, and that both expected to be elected, though they knew the Democrats had a majority in the county caucus. Com missioner Brophy said that both the Republicans and Democrats among the Senators and Representatives would caucus prior to the General Assembly, and that both would nominate candi- dates to the office for which he again aspires, to be presented to the House

and Senate for confirmation. As both bodies are Republican they would elect the selection of the Republican caucus. 'It mattered not" he said, had, both houses were Republican and would choose the selections of that faith. The caucus of both parties would be separate and would not be in the nature of a county meeting. That meeting would be held later when all would meet with the County Commis- sioners who would present their re- ports for the year and recommend the laying of a county tax
 The election in this county brought about the selection of seventeen Dem ocratic Representative to sixteen Re- publicans, with one tie in New Ca naan, and four Democratic Senators as against three Republicans. The Dem- ocratic Senators elected are McNeil and Paddock in this city, Donovan in South Norwalk, and Dr. Dean Foster in Greenwich. The Republican Senators elected are Bartlett in this city, Judson in Stratford, and Peck in Danbury. The joint caucus would show 21 Demo- crats against 19 Republicans. When each party will caucus is not known at present. There are no Democratic candidates mentioned for the office of Commissioners. It is assured that when the Republicans do meet that their choices will be the two present incumbents whose terms of office ex- pire with the year.
 Both Democratic and Republican caucuses nominate a candidate for county auditor. The nomination of both parties are sent to both houses, and confirmed by those bodies. Each county has two auditors, one from each of the two political powers. At the present time Representative Mi chael Connery of Ridgefield is the Dem ocratic auditor, and Representative William c.

 San Antonio, Tex, Nov. 10-Reports received here, early today, from Mex leo City, declare that two Americans were killed, one of them lynched to tree, in outbreaks here, last night. A mob of natives participating in the anti-American, anti-government revolt came upon a young American in the outskirts of the city and lynched him. but cut down the body before the po- lice arrived.
 An American child is also supposed to have been killed when mobs storm ed a street car carrying several Amer jeans in Juarez Avenue. Several Mex jeans were killed by police, in suppress ing the riots.
 Private telegrams received here. to- day, say Mexico City is in state of siege with Americans in peril. Amer ican residents have been barr1caded in their homes.
 Leaders of the Mexican revolution ary party, who, following the recent elections, were forced to flee the country and came here, assert that the outbreak is not directly a result of anti-American feeling. Their fel- low-countrymen in Mexico City seized this opportunity for a patriotic dem onstratien,' they say, and further de- clare that the disturbance will lead to a revolution against President Diaz.

 Senor De La Barra had received no information concerning the rioting. but expressed the belief that Mexico's gov ernment would deal firmly with the sit-
 Tho Mexican Ambassador apparently has made, on the part of his govern ment. strong representations against the lynching of the Mexican Rodr1ques, at Rock Springs, Texas. on November 3. One object of De La Barra's call upon Knox was to ascertain what has been accomplished in bringing to pun ishment those who were responsible for this affair.
 Despite the gravity of the attacks upon Amercian citizens in Mexico. the Mexican authorities are taking 8 firm stand in the RodriQue case. and there is no apparent disposition to apologize for the Mexican incident until the United States has taken action in the Texas lynching case.
 Several incidents within the last year have had the effect of cooling the ard- ent friendship that heretofore existed between the two governments. The attitude of the Mexican government toward Zelaya, former president of Nicaraxua. was not calculated to please the State Department. Before Zelaya's flight from Managua, Enrique

Look out for the young man who introduces himself to you as an in spectOr from the water company, or the gas company and asks permission to inspect your cellar. He may be a bold thief who has visited half a dozen houses hereabouts within the last week.
 One of his latest victims is Patrol man William Colgan, whose home in East Main street the young man en- tered while the policeman was sleep ing. His family admitted the man taking his word for his position, and he had an opportunity to tear out the gas meter and rob it of the contents.
 The gas company has reported sew eral houses visited by the culprit within the week.
