Land Question Troublesome.
By Fred 8. Ferguson,

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 27.--Nego-
tiations between the "a. b. c" medi-
ators and the Washington and Mexico
City ENJOYS here were progressing 80
favorably today that another full con-
ference, with the mediators and both
sets of ENJOYS present, was thought
likely Thursday.
1t was stated authoritatively that
the Mexican land question was the
least of the negotiatOrs troubles. The
land controversy being the Oldest in
Mexico, it was said that none of the
conferees thought it would be possible
to settle it at Niagara Falls, but all
agreed pacifieation of Mexico was i'm
possible until reforms were effected.
The Mexican ENJOYS were understood
to feel that the conference would be
going too far if it undertook to write
laws for Mexico, and the Americans
and mediators agreed to this. 1t was
made clear, however, that any provi-
sional government created by the con-
ference must be pledged to land re
distribution.
The main issue was how to handle
the matter. Persons in close touch
with the negotiations were authority
for the statement that it was unlikely
land reform plan would be put dowr
in black and white, but that the Amer
lean ENJOYS would make it plain what
the United States expects, and that the
Mexicans would endorse the policy out
lined.

Rocky Mountain Association
Of United Mine Workers
in Session at Seattle
MEETING OF TODAY
HELD, IN SECRET
Belief Is That Call Will be
Made for Concerted Sup
port of Workers

Seattle, May 27.-Neither to give
nor to ask quarter of the Colorado
mine owners, it seems likely today, will
be the attitude adopted by the Rocky
Mountain Association of the United
Mine Workers in session here.
The gathering reconvened to con-
slider the report Of the special commit
te of five leaders, on which the com
mittee worked all day yesterday while
the convention marked time.
While the session today was secret
and none of the committee men would
talk for publication, these facts seemed
evident:
That the committee would bring in a
strong report on the Colorado situation.
That it would recommend a finish
fight on the ground that the mine own
ers had carried matters too far to per-
nit of arbitration talk.
That it would call for the concerted
support of labor men, believing that the
Colorado struggle was critical to the
mine workers future progress.

Petersburg, Russia. He is thirty
five years of age, and a marvellous
mind-reader He reads your mind
like you read a book. He will tell
you your name, your age, how much
money you carry in your pockets. He
is not like other mind-readers, who
use woman or man helper; he goes
direct, he uses the audience and
works alone. His exhibitions in Car
negie Hall, New York, surprised pro-
fessors of Columbia College. His
exhibitions in Boston surprised pro-
fessors of Harvard. Prof. Hodgdon,
Prof. James, Prof. Pickering, the
greatest astronomer, acknowledged
him as a wonder of the Goth century.
He locates lost or stolen articles
about love, marriage, business OPP
portunities, ask Neuman. He will
tell you; he will be at your disposal
day or night, while in your town. II
Neuman says all is SO, he has never
failed. He has saved thousands of
people by giving advice.-Adv.
