ters Naon and Suarez. it was an
nounced that mediation would for
mally recess tomorrow until such
time as the constitutionalist dele
gates and luerta representatives
would confer Informally on Mexico's
international problems.
The mediators came 70 this decis-
ion after reading General Carranza's S
note asking for time to consult his
generals as to the informal parleys.
Minister Suarez referred to the
Carranza note as Satisfactory and
sensible in its explanation Of the
need for time. All the mediators

expected that by the end of the week

Strikers Must Quit
Section Gang or
Lose Benefits

Starve ON three dollars n week
but don't go to work. It's csin the
bylaws of the union.
This was the word that the union
officials at SoDris gave to bunch Of
strikers who have been working on
the section to earn enough money to
keep their families. Notice was
served on the strikers tiia. they
would have to quit the section with
in two weeks or their strike benefits
would be cut off. This follows close
ly the action of the union IN cutting
the benefits of strikers at Grey Creek
who went to work herding goats.
The union is looking for any kind
of an excuse to deprive its members
of benefits in order to spare the de-
pleted treasury and keep the strike
going until August 1.
The union leaders do not want the
strikers to manifest any indepCnd-
ence of the union. They want to
keep them subservient slaves to :he
union, particularly now when the or
is about ready t. give up
the struggle. If men can be threat
ened and intimidated they are likely
to be more obedient to the DEGREES
of their hard-fisted masters. But

are dissatisfied and anxious to go
back to work.

ton to nationalist propaganda which
originated in Sc: yia.
4 his propaganda took root Tcng
certain elements of the Servian pop
ulation OF Bosnia. Tho Bosnian gov
ernment was aware of the treascn-
able aims being pursued but was
obliged to proceed with the utmost
caution in order not to inlure an
other group Of Servians who were
loyal to it. Also there were certain
considerations of foreign Iclicy
which had to be reck ,ned with.
The Bosnia authorities, while
carefully watching and restraining
these fanatics, apparently were un-
able to discover the conspiracy in
time to prevent Sundays crime.
How deep this Servian danger re-

to estimate, but fears are expressed
here that it would be difficult to
