pTCKETING is REDUCED
By POLICE TO SYSTEM
And Strikers Use PoIiteness In
stead of InSoIenCe in East
PittSburg.

PITTsBURG. June 9.-Stringent or
ders from the police of East Pitts
burg today reduced picketing at the
Westinghouse plant. where 10000
workers are on strike. to system.
Only twenty-five strikers were allowed
on the bridge leading to the main
gates of the electric plant. They were
allowed to question persons entering
the plant, but they did it politely,
knowing that insolence would result
in the withdrawal OF all pickets.
Around the factory, in the streets
and on the hills overlooking the works.
hundreds of strikers congregated
closely watching every move of the
company's watchmen. Rumors thai
strikebreakers were to be imported.
although denied by the company, are
not believed by the strikers, who re-
fuse to believe the strike has settled
down to test of endurance.
Efforts to settle the trouble by the
merchants of the Turtle Creek valley
were continued but even some Of the
leaders were not optimistic as the
strikers declare that the first consider
alton must be recognition Of the Allie
gheny Congenial Industrial Union By
the company.
The Allegheny Congenial Industrial
Union, made up of ,0G0 members,
200 of whom have been striking
since last Friday to enforce recogni-
ton by the Westinghouse Electri.
and Manufacturing Company, the
Westinghouse Machine Company an6
the P.ttsburg Meter Company. is an
independent organization without af-
filiation with any other labor organi-
cation.
Its leader, Miss Bridget Kenney.
was born within ten miles Of where
she is directing the strike and knew
nothing about union labor until last
winter. All offers of assistance from
outside have been rejected by the I'm
ion. Miss Kenney declared they
wanted no donations by the American
Federation of Labor. the Industrial
Workers of the World or the county
Socialist organization.
The CongeE.+l Industrial Union,
she said, had only one OBJECT aud
that was the welfare of the Wrestling.
house emplovrs. This, she said. could
tie bt.' brought absi; ny the workers
tH,sm. elves. II was added however.
Dat any work .,.r might joi. the I'M
ion and as there are approximately
100000 unorganized workers in the
factories of the Pittsburg district.
sociologists are watching the conduct
of the strike with the feeling that If
it is successful there may be wide
spread extension of the Congenial
Industrial Unions activity to other
industries.

INDICATORS SUBMIT
COUNTER PROPOSAL
OF American Government to
Mexican Delegates for Pac-
ification Of Mexico.
tsY ASSOCIATED Pnrss,

NIAGARA FALLS, June 9-The
mediators today submitted to the
Mexican delegates the counter pro-
posal of the American government
for the paciflcation of Mexico. The
American plan is with few moditi-
cations the same as that which the
mediators and Mexican delegates re-
Gently agreed upon and which Cen
eral Huerta approved. 1t provides
the method of transferring the exec
utive power in Mexico City from the
present to a new provisional govern
ment, which shall, in a few months,
conduct elections for president, vice
president and members of congress.
No names have been agreed upon
between the Mexican or American
delegates for the new president or
his cabinet. In fact neither side has
yet made its nomination. The pro-
gram of the proceedings is about as
follows: Within day or two the
Mexican plan and the American plan
will have been dovetailed into one
and full conference Of all parties
will be called.
Final approval is not expected i'm
mediately from either party. howev-
er, as the mediators then will ask
the American delegates to begin to
ascertain the attitude of the Constf-
tutionalists. This may proceed
Through the Washington government
or in any manner the delegates
choose. The mediators will take a
brief recess in the meantime.
Should there be any new sugges-
tons from the Constitutionalists the
United States government will en-
deavor to arrive at compromise with
them. When an agreement is reached
the results will again be placed before
the mediation board and the Huerta
delegates. The expectation is that II
the Constitutionalists are willing to
discuss the peace plan with the Amer
lean government and agreement can
be reached in short time as the
program already makes provision for
liberal participation by the Constitu-
tionalists in the new provisional gov
eminent Thu correspondence be-
tween the mediators and the Consti-
tutionalists is expected to be brought
to an end within another day or two.
Mexico will not be asked by the
United States to pay war indemnity.
The Huerta government has learned,
through the American delegates, that
the Wilson administration will be con-
tent to have set up in Mexico a stable
government to succeed Huerta rule.
