The international phases OF the present
difficulty between the United States and
Nicaragua are causing considerable con-
Germ in the state Department. Within
the last several days Germany has or
dered a German cruiser from Callao.
Peru. to the west coast of Nicaragua to
protect German interests. 1t is thought
to indicate that the German foreign Office
is not entirely pleased with the manner
in which Secretary OF State Knox is han
ding the situation.
Heretofore Germany has allowed the
American naval vessels on duty in Gen.
trail American waters TO protect its inter-
ests.
Several days ago President Madriz, of
the Se facto government in Western
Nicaragua, oered an island on the west
coast to Germany as a coaling station.
The offer was not accepted. however. II
is understood that similar offers have
been made by Madriz to Mexico and
Japan. with a view Of obtaining their
support against the United States.
England in Similar Position.
Great Britain, IL was said, is not in
sympathy with the present attitude of
this government toward Nicaragua. Sew
eral weeks ago the British foreign Of
fee informed the State Department that
/ Il had received many complaints from
British merchants in Central America
against the continued interruptions TO
| business on account of the pending rev.
olution in Nicaragua In diplomatic cir
cles this information from the British
government is a symptom OF dissausfac-
ton with the present policy of the United
States. and is a diplomatic hint that
some action should be taken 10 remedy
conditions there.
According to we'll informed members
OF the diplomatic corps. the effect of
| the Niearsguan imbroglio upon the
United States and Mexico has been most
unfortunate. From the outset the Mexi-
can government was disposed favorably
toward the Zelaya and Madriz faction
The Mexican government sent the gun
boat Guerrero to Corinto to transport

LABOR MAY TAKE
HAND IN ELECTIONS
Central Union Would Send
Data Out TO States.

One spirited moment was injected into
the proceedings last night at the Cen
tral Labor Union. when Delegate Rob
erts offered a resolution of a political
nature which had as its aim the indorse-
ment OF Congressman throughout the
country by the central body.
He said that constituents had little
knowledge Of the record OF their repre-
sentatives in Congress and that In many
instances voters were OF the opinion that
the candidates were friendly to organized
labor where the contrary was true He
declared 1t was often the case that rep
.resentatives voted for some bill affect
ing some local shop. and when it came
to a national labor question, and one far
reaching in effect, they would vote
against Il.
Mr.. Roberts also asked that the Ameri-
can Federation supply records Of men
in Congress for the central body and that
they be distributed throughout the eoun-
try.
Samuel De Nedrey bitterly opposed the
resolution. declaring that labor was Civ
ing TOO much attention TO politics.
If We would give more attention to
organization and those things that di-
rectly affect US. instead of bothering so
much about politics. IL would be much
better" he said Il presume" he con-
tinued. that labor men throughout the
country know who they want to vote for
without US telling them"
Delegates Seals, Adams, Hartley. and
others spoke on the question. which was
finally carried
Delegates from the Sheet Metal Workers
Union were present and reported that
the strike situation looked favorable.
