Statement Of Manager.

Mr.. Long regretted the disruption Of
the pleasant relations between the men
and the company that has existed for
so long. and said the majority of the
men quit under misapprehensiOn. In
conclusion, he said:
EFF the men returned to work and the
individual cases of injustice--if there are
any--were brought to the attention of the
employing officer, the management would
see that each had careful and full in
vestigation, so that anything which re-
suited in injustice in any form could be
corrected.
The Pennsylvania railroad is not op-
posed to labor organizations. 1t confers
with its own employees directly at all
times and expects to continue this policy,
since by pursuing 1t heretofore it has
enjoyed amicable relations with all en-
ployeS."

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFICERS
SENSATIONAL STORIES DENIED

The suspension Of the armistice be
tween the Mexicans. and even the ac
tive resumption of hostilities on
wholesale scale by the insurgent forces
will cause absolutely no change in the
determination of the United States to
refrain from Intervention in Mexico
The President is las firm as rock in
his purpose to live up to the obliga-
tions of neutrality, and even the kill
ing of Americans, provided it were an
incident of warfare. would not be re-
garded as sufficient ground for single
armed American soldier to cross the in
ternational boundary.
This statement was made last night
without reservation by the highest
authority, next to the President him
self. and undoubtedly reflects the Pres
idents policy. He insists on absolutely
technical adherence to the instructions
already given to the American military
commanders on the border to keep
their soldiers north Of the line. There
fore, Gen. Wood chief of staff. has
again cautioned the army officers to
use civilian messengers in case they
find it necessary to communicate with
the federals or 1nsurrectos on Mexican
soil.
Notwithstanding feeling of temporary
depression caused by the receipt of news
paper dispatches to the effect that Madero
had terminated the armistice that has
held the two forces in check for more
than a week, the Washington officials
are still hopeful that the peace negotia-
tions will not be permanently interrupted
and that eventually they will result sue
