Mexico Warned Not to Kill Hostile
Leaders.

A warning has been served on the
Mexican government that the whole
sale execution of anti-government
leaders will not be tolerated.
The warning which was friendly in
tone and couched in diplomatic lam
guage made plain the principle of the
state department that the United
States does not wish to Interfere in
the affairs of another nation. At the
same time, however, it was pointed
out that the laws of humanity must be
obeyed no matter how serious the
stress of conditions confronting a gov
eminent.
The note was handed to Senior de la
Barra, Mexican secretary Of state for
foreign affairs. by United States Am
bassador Henry Lane Wilson. 1t was
received in a spirit Of friendship and
copies were later taken to President
Huerta and the cabinet.

Operators, Dealers and Miners All
Gained, But Consumers Paid
Higher Prices Without
Compensation.

Hard coal companies increased the
wages of their employees 100000 a
year by the strike agreement of last
May and increased the price Of anthra-
cite to consumers $13,450,000, ac-
.cording 10 report based on an in
vestigation by the bureau of labor
submitted to the house.
The report submitted by Secretary
Nagel is the result of an investiga-
ton conducted in response to a
house resolution asking for the "ele-
ments OF cost and profit included in
the present high price OF anthracite"
An average increase of 26 cents a
ton in wholesale coal prices was dis
covered TO have been made since the
strike agreement of last May.
In spite Of the fact that the work
ers benefited about 100000 a in
creased wages during the year, the
report adds that 'the recent in
creases in prices have been more than
sufficient TO compensate fully those
companies whose costs of production
have increased more rapidly during
recent years, and at the same time
have very greatly increased the profits
of those companies, Of whom there
are several whose costs OF production
either decreased or remained station
