Ynocente Cajajo is in Washington on his
way to visit friends in London. Seen by
a Herald reporter, Senior Cajajo vehe-
mently forecasted the downfall Of Huerta
and his entire government before the
troublous republic south OF the Rio
Grande is many days older.
Senior Cajajo was a constitutionally
elected Senator from the State of Guer-
zero, which is close to Mexico City, dur
ing the Madero regime and was ousted
from Office with other Maderistas at. the
commencement of the Huerta usurpa-
ton.
Asked whether he thought the United
States should have recognized the present
government in Mexico, the ex-senator
replied:
"A million times no! To have recog-
nized that murderer would have been
to take away the last atom of respect
the Mexican masses hold for this coun-
try. Huerta is tremendously unpopu-
lar: more, he is hated. not only by the
common people of Mexico, over whose
traditions and ideals he has ridden
rough-shod. but by the very men upon
whom he most depenus for support.

smoldering ruins that once had been

sheltered the bones Of men who had
dared to oppose his advance.
'In that march Huerta's army be-
haved worse than the insurrecto army
he was supposed to be pursuing. They
murdered innocent citizens: they raw
aged women: they slaughtered children:
they looted banks and commercial
houses: they drove off hundreds OF head
of privately owned cattle.
THE republic Of Mexico is in a worse

il there is not already sufficient war in

At ROADS DELAY
Threaten to Call Immediate
Strike Unle.. Managers
Give Up Grievances.
LOSE $1,000, A DAY
Lee and Garretsoa Warn Mediators
that Unless Agreement Is Reached
Today Men will Quit.

New York, July 4.-Charging that the
eastern railroads are endeavoring to
starve them out by refusing to arbitrate
the wage question, the 5000 conductors
and trainmen represented by A. B. Gar
fetson and W. G. Lee, threatened tonight
to break of all negotiations with the
board Of mediation and order a strike
Immediately.
At the close Of the day. the MANAGERS
committee acting for the railroads, and
the union leaders. We're as far apart as
they were when President Wilson's
mediators came here on Monday. The
employees say they will agree to arbi-
trate only the wage question at this
time. The railroad officials are equally
firm in demand that their grievances
against the unions be considered Jointly
with the demand for increased pay.
Costs Men $4,000 a Day.
At a conference between the mediators
and the union men, at the Broadway
Central Hotel today, w. G. Lee, for the
trainmen, informed the mediators the
delay was costing the brotherhoods S, 900
a day. and that the total cost of the
controversy to date would aggregate
100000. He estimated that 500 men were
staying away from their work in addition
to the committee, in order that strike
orders might be transmitted promptly.
Judge William Lea Chambers and the
mediators were informed that under no
conditions would the unions make any
further concessions. This announcement
was followed by the intimation that il
the railroad managers did not agree to
reasonable arbitration tomorrow, a
time limit of hours will be fixed by the
leaders, after which they will strike.
The board Of mediation conferred with
the committee of managers during the
late afternoon, but it was understood
that no progress was made. There will
be another meeting between the media
tors under the railroads officials tomor-
row morning.
