HALF PENNIES FOR WORKERS
California Contractors May Face Fed
erai Charge.

San Francisco. Aug. 21.-Sixteen
~bricklayers worked fifteen minutes on
an Oakland job and were then laid on
on account of lack OF material. The
employing contractors became angry
when the bricklayers asked for a full
hours pay. STA cents. But the six.
teen held out for the scale, emphasiz-
ing the fraction rule.
very WELL" said the contractors.
they shall have their 87h cents an
hour or fraction thereof"
The first man to sign the pay roll
received a shock. He had counted
out to him eight dimes. a scent piece.
3 pennies and a half of a penny that
had been chopped in two. And so it
went all down the line.
One of the bricklayers suggested
that the government does not permit
mutilation of its coins, SO the matter
was laid before the United States dis
trfct attorneys office.

next MOVE up
TO WASHINGTON
Envoy Lind Is Awaiting
Further Instructions.
HUERTA MORE FRIENDLY
Issues OFFICIAL Statement That Nego-
tiatlons With the United States Are
Continuing In a Cordial Manner
and Denying AIarmist Reports.

Mexico City, Aug. 21.-Further me-
gotiations looking to a peaceful settle
ment of the Mexican situation, follow
ing Provisional President Huertals re-
lection OF President Wilson's proposal
as submitted by his personal repre-
sentative, John Lind, would appear
now to depend upon Washington. IL
the United States government is will.
ing to reopen the controversy there is
every reason to believe that the Mex
lean government would be willing.
An official statement from Frederic
Gamboa, the Mexican foreign minister,
says that the negotiations between Mr..
Lind and the Mexican government
have not entirely been broken off. but
that they ARE being continued con-
fdentially." This statement was CIV
en- to representatives Of the Mexican
newspapers for local publication. II
was the first news given to the local
press since Monday morning.
Mexico's reply to the United States,
while couched in diplomatic language,
was a definite rejection OF President
Wilson's proposals as presented by
John Lind.
Unless the Washington government
sees fit to submit new propositions Ii
il considered that the negotiations
here will be closed. What the Mex
lean government may do appears
largely a psychological problem.
Leaders Are Conservative.
The statement made by DR.. Urrutia.
minister of the interior, on Monday
night and subsequently denied. that
the United States had been given I'M
til Tuesday night to recognize the
huerta administration, is taken to In
dictate the attitude of at least a por-
ton OF the Mexican government. But
the conservative element appears to
have won the upper hand and is show
Ing a tendency to continue friendly re-
lations with Mr.. Lind.
Ex-Governor Lind is awaiting in
structions from Washington. He still
is Optimistic and believes that the
Mexican government may yet elect
to entertain President Wilson's peace
proposals.
Regarding the character of notes ex-
changed between the two governments
Mexican officers refuse to enter into
any discussion.
The Mexican government SEN to
each Of the foreign legations in Mex
leo City a note In which 1t was stated
that the negotiations with ex-Gover-
nor Lind were continuing in a cordial
ANN and denying that Minister Ur-
ratio had made any statement which
might be regarded as an ultimatum
to the United States.
Personal relations between Presi-
dent Wilson's emissary and the men,
bers OF the government here are
friendly.
