Washington, July .14.-Although the
resignation of Huerta confidently is
expected by the state department and
Washington diplomats, to occur at
any moment, the constituti0nalists
are unaffected by the news, and are
pressing hard military campaign on
Mexico City.
On to Mexico City!
Villa, with $4,000 men, official dis
patches revealed, is ready for rapid
advance on the Mexican capital and
General Obregon's forces at Guadala-
jara are prepared to sweep onward
within few days.
Although officials have not been CIV
en- much to prediction, they now firm-
ly believe the constitutionalists will
be in Mexico City in two or three
weeks, regardless of what the Huerta
government may do.
Try to Prevent Carnage.
Diplomats are working hard to pre-.
vent fighting in the capital and still
hope the transfer of power to tho
constitutionalists will be effected
without further bloodshed. Huerta's
resignation, it is realized, will not i'm.
mediately compose the situation. but
would make poss: BILE parleys with the
constitutionalists through which .
change of government will be accom-.
plished peacefully.
Would Delay Resignatlon.
Numerous official advices saying
Huerta willresign In q day or two, In.
cluding messages from the Brazilian
minister in Mexico City, and other
diplomats, raised the expectations VI
officials at Washington, that his exit
from power will mean his flight from
the country. Rafael Zubaran. Carran.
za's confidential agent, has received
instructions on which to draft for
NAL reply note to the mediators, pro.
posing informal conferences between
the constitutionalists and Huerta del
egates. 1t is understood Zubaran's In.
structions are to reject the invitation.
CAN ENTER CITY EASILY
ElPaso, Texts, July 14.-in case Of
a sudden fall of the Huerta govern
ment, the constitutionalists troops
are in position to enter Mexico
City within a few hours, according
to revolution army agents here. This
is to prevent, they declare a much
feared reign of disorder at the ma
tional capital before the Carranza
government can be established to
maintain order. Already 1t is ar
ranged, 1t was said that troops under
General Candido Aguilar will be the
first to reach the city. His 1000
troops lie between Tuxpam and ri.
zaba, in the Vera Cruz district and
it is asserted would be in a position
to reach Mexico City within twelve
hours.

II the preparations for the Ameri-

COMMITTEE is STUDYING
PLANS TO RAISE REVENUE

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1s.-At a
conference yesterday between Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary McAdoo, Sena-
tor Simmons and Representative I'm
derwood. one of the most important
topics was that in reference to the
enactment of additional revenue pro-
ducing measures to make up for short
age in treasury receipts caused by the
falling off of import duties.
This legislation will require care
full study" said Mr.. Underwood, 'be-
cause it will not be enacted to meet a
temporary deficiency. The effect OF
ties will be felt for years. 1t will take
the countries now at war long time
to revive their industries or to build
them anew after the war has ended.
Many plans for raising the reven-
ues necessary for maintenance of the
government have been suggested land
each is being considered by different
members of the house ways and means
committee. l have not felt the need
of immediate action and l have not
called the committee together for seri
GUS work on the legislation.
President Wilson announced at our
conference that he would send a spe
cial message on the subject to con
gress when he should find that legisla-
ton along this line was necessary
Until the president shall take such
action 1 shall not proceed with any
legislative plans"
Mr.. Underwood expressed conf
dence that plans will be worked out
under which ample protection and
financial assistance will be offered the
cotton and grain producers and for
eign markets will be opened to the
shippers through the use of American
vessels.
Senator Smith of Maryland will ask
a general conference of tobacco grow
ers that suggestions may be made tc
Secretary McAdoo for assistance to
them in the marketing of the new
crop and the delivery of the old crof
now held under sale contract for de
livery. A large proportion of the
American tobacco exported goes tc
France and its sale is controlled by
the French government, which derives
large revenues from it.

UNION men MUST
BUILD new TANK
IS CITY'S ORDER
Commissioners Unanimously
Adopt Drastic Resolution
Regarding Labor Tangle.
VIOLATION OF CONTRACT
Claim Rock Island Bridge & Iron
Works Broke Spirit Of Agreement
In Employing Non-Union Men.

Union labor must build the new ele-
| the city by the Rock Island Bridge &
Iron works. AT the meeting of the city
commission yesterday afternoon, an
ultirnatum in the shape of a resolu-
| ton, was was offered by Commissioners
Archie Hart and unanimously adopted,
providing that the city engineer be
| instructed to order the company to
stop work on the tank unless union
men were employed. claiming that the
spirit of the contract which the city
has with the company has been vio-
lated through the use of non-union
labor.
The resolution which was adopted
follows:
Resolved, That whereas, we the
members of the council OF the city of
Rock Island believe that the spirit of
the contract between the Rock Island
Bridge & Iron works and the city of
Rock Island has been violated, on the
part of the Rock Island Bridge & Iron
works, relative to the use OF union
labor in the construction of the tank,
therefore be 1t y
Resolved, That the city engineer
order work stopped on said tank until
such time as the said Rock Island
Bridge e. Iron works carry out the
spirit of said contract and that the
city clerk be authorized to notify the
bondsmen of the said Bridge & Iron
works to this effect"
Approve Protest.
The question of employment OF I'M
ion labor on the elevated tank has
been under discussion for several days
before the city commission. In the
first instance union structural iron
workers were used in putting up the
frame work. When this was complet-
ed the men started building the tank
proper. At this junctuTe the boiler
makers union protested, claiming that
the structural workers were encroach-
ing on their specified work. The re-
suit was the structural workers were
called off and in their place non-union
men were employed. The boilermak-
ers carried their grievance to the city
commission, insisting that under the
terms of the contract with the city
the company was under obligation to
use union labor.
When officers of the company held
conference with the commission 1t was
urged that the services of the union
structural iron workers in completing
the job would have been satisfactory,
and it was cited that the employment
of non-union laborers had only been
tried after the union men made a pro-
test. The company left the whole
question of labor up to the city COM
mission, and the action taken yester-,
day afternoon shows in no uncertain
manner just how the subject is viewed
by the members of that body.

not always appreciate the advantages
to their organizations of sending their
engineering and administrative Off
Gals to a congress of this sort. By
placing the matter before them at an
early date time is afforded for i'm
pressing upon them the educational
value of attendance at a congress such
as this. There is no other meeting or
opportunity of such value to the
highway builder as is afforded by the
American road congress. This cam
not be too strongly emphasized. The
benefit primarily is to the organization
and not to the individual, for the in
formation gained conjuced not so
much to individual advancement as
to greater efficiency in handling road
problems.
The Official Call.
The official call for the congress
signed by the AZ organizations, is as
follows:
o. Whereas. the rapid concentration of
population in our large cities and the
high cost of living are, in a consider
able measure, due to bad roads which
render farms inaccessible, transporta-
tion uncertain and costly, educational
advantages limited, and social condi-
tions unattractive; and
Whereas, il is estimated that the
people of this country are annually ex-
pending on public roads more than
100000, 900, a large percentage of
which, by reason of lack of system,
ignorance of proper methods, and
wasteful management, is not accom-
plishing results commensurate with
the outlay; and
Whereas, the national government
and the various state governments are
now endeavoring to ascertain the char
acter of legislation which will best
accomplish a maximum of effective
road improvement and maintenance
coupled with a wise and efficient ex-
penditure of the road revenues; and
Whereas, the increasing use of mo-
tor vehicle has brought about prob
lens of construction and maintenance
of roads which are exceedingly diff
cult and for the solution of which
the combip-d wisdom and experience
OF trained specialists are necessary;
and
Whereas. the aroused public spirit of
the people in behalf of the movement
for better roads has found expression
in the form of many organized bod
les: and
Whereas. IL is only by a correlation
and coordination of efforts, and by
an exchange of knowledge and expe-
rience that the greatest good can be
Therefore. we, the undersigned.
the organized road move
ment of America. hereby Join in call
ing the American road congress to
hold it's sessions in the city of Allan
IA. state of Georgia. during the week
of Nov. Q, for the purpose of giving
careful consideration to the subjects
of road legislation, both national and
state: the administration of public
road throughout America. including
states. counties. and the smaller sub
divisions thereof. and the provinces OF
Canada: the problems of construction
and maintenance; the financial ques-
lions concerned with road revenues
and their expenditures; the advance
ment OF highway engineering in edu-
cational institutions: and other ques-
lions. the consideration OF which may
be of practical advantage to the bet
terment of the public roads of Ameri-
ca.
