s. P. TRAINNEN FAVOR STRIKE
APPROXIMATELY $500 MEN ARE
INVOLVED IN CONTROVERSY.
Trouble Results From Company's In.
tention to %Segregate Its Elec-
trio Lines.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-Ninety-six
per cent. Of the trainmen and con-
ductors employed on the Pacific divis-
ion of the Southern Pacific system
have voted to strike unless their diff
f%erences with the management over
the terms of employment, rating and
seniority allowed ON the company's
electricized lines can be adjusted.
The grand officers and the joint
general committee of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, feeling that their in
terests are vitality wrapped up in the
same conditions which face the con-
ductors and trainmen, are now on
their way to San Francisco to take
up the problem from their viewpoint
and will arrive Saturday morning.
Southern Pacific officials announced
hat they will invoke the mediation
of the national government through
the Newlands act to settle their diff
ficulties with their employees. In the
meantime the engineers, firemen and
enginemen have requested the con-
ductors m trainmen to defer final
action until their own attitude can
be determined and a united stand
taken.
approximately 1900 men are in
volved and the territory affected ex-
tends south from Portland, Ore, to
the Gulf Of Mexico, and west from
Ogden and Ell Paso.
Friction has arisen between the
company and the men because of the
company's announcement that here
after it will be its policy to %segregate
its electric lines as separate units of
operation, distinct from the main
steam lines.

j. s. TRIES TO STOP
MEXICAN AGITATION
GRAvENESS OF SITUATION is
DEPRECATED BY WASHING
TON ADMINISTRATION.
REPORTS ARE AT VARIANCE
Believed Ambassador Wilson is Fac
tor in Promoting Objection
able Discussion in
Mexico.

Washington, Aug. developments
IN the Mexican situation were contn-
ed to efforts on the part OF the ad
ministration to prevent unnecessary
agitation over the situation.
SO far as the United States is in
formed both the federals and consti-
~tutionalists are complying with the
desire of the American government for
the protection of foreigners and their
property and there is a hopeful feel
ing manifest in official circles that
efforts Of influential MeXicans to
bring about peace may be successful.
Conservatism is Aim.
In the meantime President Wilson
and his advisers are opposed to any
attempt to force the American govern
ment into any hasty declaration OF
policy. Secretary Bryan promptly de-
MED a story that European govern
ments are pressing the United States
to action.
To prevent any ~aggravation of the
situation, which in the view Of off,
Gals here is slowly adjusting itself,
the administration, it became known,
does not look favorably on the pro-
posal to have Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson appear before the house
committee on foreign affairs. Admin
~istration officials do not think it com
patible with the public interest to
have Ambassador Wilson appear be-
fore the senate committee on foreign
relations, not because they hesitate in
any way to submit the reports he
has made, but because the feeling is
growing among them hat he is a
factor in promoting Objectionable dis
cussion in Mexico.
Evidence is at Variance.
The ambassador is known to hold
views at variance with those of the
president and Secretary Bryan, and it
Is said on good authority thai infor-
nation is in possession of the state
department contradicting in many
essentials the reports Of Ambassador
wilson. For this reason it is believ-
ed that when Chairman Flood. of the
house committee on foreign affairs.
consuIts the president or Secretary
Bryan about summoning the ambas-
sador before the committee, he will
be informed that while no objection
exists to allowing the house commit
tee the same information the ambas.
sador gave the senate committee. the
administration is strongly DESTROYS
not to agitate the situation any fur
ther, especially in view of the fact
that Mr.. Wilson is not likely to go
back to Mexico as the American am
~bassador.
