D|Az HOLDS SELF
AT THE SERVICE
OF MEXICO
r FOREIGN COMPLICATION
ARISE THE FORMER DICTA-
TOR WILL BE ACTIVE.

Keneh, Egypt, Feb. 24-Porfiro
Diaz, former dictator of Mexico, de-
clared today that he Is holding him
self in readiness to respond to the
call of his country, in case foreign
complications should arise out of the
revolution. If this should not occur
he said, he would not return to Mexico
until settled government had been re-
established there and his temperance
on the scene could be made without
risk of being wrongfully interpreted
The aged ex-president expressed the
hope that "hands off Mexico" would
be the policy of the Shifted States.
The former president made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
II prefer to say nothing regarding
the faults of Francisco Maderos rule
or the causes of the revolution. AS a
political opponent of Madero, my opin-
ion might be considered biased.
General Victoriano Huerta Is an
officer and a gentleman who possesses
the confidence of all classes in Mexico.
Personally | have the greatest respect
for and confidence in him. chose
him to escort me from Mexico City to
Vera Cruz when ! was exled
Il think General Huerta is in a po-
sition to maintain order until a con-
stitutional government has been defi-
nitely -established.'
When reports Of the possibility of
intervention by the United States were
mentioned, the former president grave
~ retorted:
Il and my adherents always have
been and will be sincere friends of the
United States government. / cannot
imagine the United States or others
taking any action inconsistent with
Americas well known honesty of pur-
pose
General Diaz hopes and intends to
return to Mexico at some time This,
however, he said, would not occur
until peace had been firmly re estab-
lished and my return cannot have any
misconstruction placed on it. Should,
however, foreign complications arise
| will hold myself entirely at my
country's service"

UNDER TRUST LAW
ELECTRICAL MEN
ARE SUED
LOCAL UNIONS in CHICAGO Al
LEGGED TO HAVE ANNOYED
POSTAL TELEGRAPH.

Chicago, Feb 24.--TWo local unions
Electrical Workers were sued by the
federal government here today under
the Sherman anti trust law for alleged
interference with messages OF the
Postal Telegraph Gable company, in
Interstate commerce. Local unions
Nos. and 1874 are named as de-
PENDANTS.
AS part of the labor war against the
telegraph company the government
charges officers and employees OF the
unions with combining and conspiring
through acts of violence and depreda-
tions to njure the Postal Telegraph
wires and to interfere with the trans
mission of government and CONNER
cial messages in interstate commerce.
The alleged interference is declared to
have been deliberate.
The government asks that the de-
PENDANTS be enjoined from obstruct-
ing interstate and government mes
sages over the Postal, from cutting,
burning or otherwise injuring it's tele-
graph lines and from interfering by
threats, intimidation, persuasion or
force with employees or prospective en-
ployes of the company. Pending final
hearing, the petition pleads for a tenn
porary injunction against the alleged
unlawful acts.
Labor trouble between the Postal
and the electrical unions arose in Sep
tember last, when, it is alleged, union
Officials insisted that the telegraph
company should establish the closed
shop" policy. The company refused,
it is added, because it would have ne
cessitated the discharge of old and
faithful employees not members Of the
union. Some of the defendants are
alleged to have informed the Postal
company that if they refused to agree
they would call strike.
At this stage, when a strike was
imminent, the government says, the
telegraph company on October is dis
charged employees who were members
of the unions and supplied their places
with non-union members. Threats
against officers and employees of the
telegraph company Immediately fol-
lowed, it is charged. and acts Of vio-
lence began to be committed daily in
Chicago against the company's prop
erty.
District Attorney Wilkerson, after
filing the suit said he would ask the
United States district court to issue
the injunction within few days.
