WHAT WILL U. S. DO?
Pertinent Query from One OF Great
European Powers.

Washington, July 15.--Already one
of the great European Powers
through it's diplomatic representa-
tives here has called the attention OF
Secretary Bryan to the chaotic condl-
tions in Mexico and the effect upon
the welfare and safety of its citizens
there, with a polite inquiry as TO
what the United States proposes 70
do about it.
Whether the inquiry was part OF q
concerted movement on the part OF
European Powers to bring the state
department to a declaration of its
purpose toward Mexico did not de-
velop. today. Reports from the CITY
of Mexico, however. would appear TO
warrant that conclusion. Until very
recently President Wilson has at
tached little importance to rumors OF
outside influences being brought TO
bear to cause the United states TO
recognize the Huerta regime. IL Is
beginning to be apparent now that
there must be very soon some oihciai
declaration on the subject 10 reas-
sure the European Powers on the
protection of their citizens and sup-
jects against pecuniary loss by the
continuance of present conditions
Failing such a declaration, some OIL
cials fear that European Powers may
feel themselves free to take steps 10
restore peace.

RAILROADS GRIEVANCES.

New York. July 15.-With today's
passage by Congress of the Newlands
bill, to provide an arbitration medi-
um for settling the wage differences
between the eastern railroads and
their $4,000 conductors and trainmen,
a new phase of the controversy de-
velopment through announcement by
the railroads that they will ask that
the board, which considers the de-
mands of the employees, take up also
the grievances of the roads against t.e
men.
This angle of the situation over
shadows for the moment, at any rate
even the determined stand taken ty
the Erie system that 1t will not, in any
event, submit its cause to arbitration.
Chairman Elisha Lee of the confer
erence committee of managers, tonight
stated that the railroads would de-
mand arbitration which would take
into consideration all questions of diff
ference between the railroads and the
employees. Mr.. Lee alluded to the
wording of the letter in which the con-
ference of managers agreed to arbi-
trate under the Newlands legislation
i He IoduS were WHllfS TO SUBMIT To ar
bitration by board, as provided i'm the
Newlands bill the letter read, .all ques-
tons of rates of pay and working eondi-
tions" of their conductors and trainmen
1.-The language of our letter is very
clear" said Mr. Lee, tonight. I'VE meant
and we mean just what 1t says. We feel
that 1t is right to ask for arbitration
which takes into consideration the griev-
ances of the railroads as well as the
grievances of the employees" Mr.. Lee
declared that the men had always been
urgent for arbitration upward. but never
had been willing to have the railroad S
questions arbitrated together with theil
own demands.
He said the conference committee would
demand that the grievances of the rail-
roads and the grievances of the men be
arbitrated sideways, upwards, downwards
and backwards, and go into the whole
question without reserve of the differ
ences between the companies and the en-
ployes.
When Chairman Lees statement in be-
half of the roads was conveyed TO
Messrs. A. 3. Garretson and w. G. Lee,
heads of the conductors and trainmen' S
organizations respectively, they would
not comment upon the matter, but said
they might have a statement to make
later.

Outcome Of Deadlock in The

Not Ready Tor Concessions.

Mexico City, July 15.-Negotiations
between the government and Il. N.
Brown, president of the National

cial meeting of the board of direc-
tors to name his successor and he
steamer sailing from Vera Cruz for
the United States, on Thursday.
President Brown has ended the ne
.gotiations with the government fol-
lowing repeated protests against in
reference on the part of government
officials with the operation of the
railways. A statement from his office
calls upon the directors definitely to
determine his successor and declares
that this decisive request is made in
view, of the failure of the directors to
accept his previous proposal of resig-
nation.
The Federal administration appear
ed to realize the seriousness of per-
hitting Brown to withdraw at this
time, but it was not prepared to
make the concessions demanded.
President Browns withdrawal car
ries with it that of General Manager
Clark, and it is expected that Z. X
Hudson. vice president, j. M. Reid.
the chief engineer of construction and
q number of other American officials
also will resign.
In his statement, President Brown
says:
Under present conditions success
for and with the railways seems i'm
possible, and / do not feel that in
Justice to my high reputation ]
should remain and go down with the
properties. The government owns the

the stock and as 1t apparently sees
fit to dictate to the management OF
the railways a ceretain line of policy,
which the management feels will not
allow the properties to be success
fully operated, l thought it best to
ask the directors to relieve me of my
position"
