fused to work with "scabs." The men
went to work at Z o'clock and at that
time Informed the 3 men who were
not members, that they had an op-
portunity of becoming affiliated with
the union but the of some reason de-
clined to accept the invitation.
The situation was thoroughly eX-
planned to them, they ever told, unless
they became members that the other
men would not work with them. Stlll
they were obdurate n when TINS
fact became known the other men laid
down their tools and walked out OF
the shops. The situation TO "a while
had a most serious aspect. rive

time one Of the bosses was engaged ID

STAY out Of the union but finally they
were convinced of the error Of their
decision and gladly decided to join.

remedied. they returned to their tasks
This is the first time that any such IN

Reports Said Exaggerated.

Mexico City, July 19.-Direct rail
road communication will be re-estab-
lished between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz by Tuesday. President Carbajal
today informed the British minister
he had issued orders for the imme-
date closing of the gap.
A trip of investigation through the
district surrounding Mexico City to-
day disclosed the fact that recent re
ports Of the activity of Zapata ad-
herents were exaggerated. The Fed
erals still hold ContreraS, T~ulyahualco
and Xochimilco. Zapata bands in
small numbers are committing depre-
dations, but there has been no COZ
centrated attack on any place. 1t is
considered impossible for the Zapata
forces to advance beyond their pres
ent position. There are sufficient
Federal troops here to repulse Zapata
and his men should they attempt to
advance.
The usual Sunday calm prevailed
here today, a bull fight being the
main attraction.
