II. S. TO KEEP
MILLIONS UNTIL
MEXICO is CALM
Several Million Dollars in Customs Col
lected at Vera Cruz Held Pend
ing Formation of Stable
Government.

Washington, Nov. ls.-The United
States will hold the several million dol
lars in customs collected at Vera Cruz
until stable government is established
in Mexico and will not turn it over to
the French bondholders.
President Wilson said yesterday the
money would be delivered to neither
faction in Mexico under present condi-
tions and indicated that only a govern
ment recognized by the United States
would receive the money. He feels that
responsibility for the faction that gets
control of Vera Cruz after its evacuation
by American troops does not rest with
the United States.
Mr.. Wilson does not construe the
message as a bid for recognition. No
confirmation has been received of reports
that Villa had promised to leave Mexico.
Secretary Bryan announced yesterday re-
ceipt of message from American Con-
sui SilIiman at Mexico City saying the
newspapers there had published text
OF message received Monday from Gen
eral Gutierrez approving the conditions
SET by General Carranza for his own re-
tirement.

CARRIERS KEPT DOWN.
Never Had Chance, Declares L. B. Fill
of Kentucky.

Washington, Nov. lS.-Deegates from
many states were here yesterday for thu
annual convention OF the national asso
citation of railroad commissioners. I'm
portant phases of railway valuation
and other work of the state railroac
commissioners are to be considered dur
ing the four days meeting. The opening
program included an address by Charles
A. Prouty, the commissions director OF
valuation.
In welcoming the convention on be-
half of the interstate commerce commits
sions, Acting Chairman Judson 9. Glenn
ents advocated the maintenance of a
spirit OF cooperation among railway COM
missions as we'll as between commits
sions and carriers.
"The oft,repeated and self -justifying
declaration that the carriers are entitled
to an opportunity to earn fair return
upon the property or the investment is
of little comfort to either carrier or ship
per unless it is inyigorated into such
rules of action as will bring fruitful re-
suits, said he. Divergent and conflicting
state rate fabrics will continue to pro-
duce irritating and intolerable conditions
OF discrimination for which some rem
edy win have to be found"
In his annual address to the associa-
ton President Laurence B. Finn of Ken
lucky urged the regulation and control
by state and federal governments should
embrace every detail of the activities
of common carriers, including invest
ments, expenditures, equipment, ma
terial, construction, operation and
charges" Mr.. Finn declared that on ac
count of "entangling alliances between
transportation companies and other big
business industries common carriers have
never had fair chance to demonstrate
their maximum benefit to the public. The
same act of finaneiers furnishes capital
for BOTH
Mr.. Firms address was interpreted as
favorable to government ownership.

A Great Labor Conference
After the War, A. F.
of L. Idea
TO START
SOME NEW UNIONS
Will Organize the School
Teachers and STEM
ographers

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov lS,-A grea
conference of organized labor will b
called at the end of the European wa
to lay foundations of more permanent
peace, if the resolution introduced BY
President Samuel Gompers of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor is indorsed b,
! the convention in session here.
| The measure provides that the execu
| tive council summon such a gathering tc
meet at the same place and time the
peace conference is conducted. The pur'
pose of the international assembly OF
labor representatives is that "sugges.
tions may be made and such action
taken as shall be helpful in restoring
fraternal relations, protecting the inter
ests of the toilers and thereby assisting
in laying the foundations of more last
ing peace
The olive branch of peace was in effect
rendered by the federation to the Broth
erhoods of Trainmen, Conductors and
Bricklayers, organizations which have
refused to come into the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and at times have OPP
posed its interests. Under the direction
of President Gompers, resolution re-
ported out by the organization commit
tee, virtually authorizing war upon
these brotherhoods, was reeommitted. 1t
was not expected the measure would
come up again.
A campaign was Endorsed to start or
ganization among school teachers, stem
ographers, bookkeepers, domestic serv
ants, farmers and commercial telegraph
ers. 1t emphasized the fact that there
was plenty OF work to do without stir
ring up strife among men already organ
lied.
The federation yesterday stood solidly
behind its resolution urging that Con
gress establish an industrial alcohol com
mission TO demonstrate the practicable
ity of denatured alcohol distilling on
farms. The Rockefeller Foundation was
as being dangerous and inim |
zeal to the interests of education in this |
because "it bears the possibili |
ties of controlling and influencing the
activities of the nation"
Further evidence that the conservative |
faction of the federation is in over
control was shown by the sud
ienness with which the resolution To /
form an Independent labor party was
luashed. This was in line with the ae.
ion taken at the last convention, when
