week at the latest. Zubaran denied
reports that there are any serious dif-
ferences OF opinion between Carranza
and his chief field officers, especially
Villa.
Renewed appeals have been receiv-
ed by the state department from the
OIL companies doing business in the
Tampico field asking for protection
or their property. Secretary Bryan,
as result, has communicated with
Carranza again urging the necessity
of conducting no offensive operations

also suggesting that the storage tanks

by representatives of the workers who
recently voted TO strike.
The enginemcn also charged the
managers committee with seeking TO
prolong the negotiations only to de-
feat the purpose of the employees.
While no more conferences are be-
Ing held numerous written communi-
cations were exchanged by the two
committees during the day.
The refusal TO submit to mediation
was the last letter Of the day and put
the next move up to the managers
