WILSON UNDECIDED
ON MEXICAN MOVE

CORNISH, N. H., July 2S.-Presi-
dent Wilson has not yet decided on
the next step in his Mexican policy
and no announcement will be made
on the question until after his return
to Washington Word to this effect
came from the president today In
answer to questions submitted to him
on the Mexican situation.
He Informed newspaper men that
since his arrival at the summer White

data on the Mexican situation from
Secretary Lansing, and that the secre-
tary had not forwarded any recon-
mendations as to what should be
done The president did not deny
that some step would be taken in the
near future as announced at the
state department at Washington.
The president has been considering
the next step In his Mexican policy
very seriously ever since making the
announcement recently that condi-
tions In Mexico must improve. His
answers 10 questions today, however.
indicated that he still had the ques-
ton under adVisement and would not
reach a final conclusion until after
a conference with Secretary Lansing
and other close advisers. There have
been many indications recently that
further action was to be taken in
the near future. Nothing could be
learned here today, however, as to
just how soon this action would be
decided upon or what course II would
take. The president has made no ar
rangemen.s for returning to WASH
ington.

Political hopes are sure to be raised

the consensus of opinion of those
present was that demand should bt

- and more pay at once.
That the Plsinfield local will go on
strike unless their demands are grant
ed is almost an assured fact" said
Mr.. Reilly, "and | leave for Trenton
today to go over the situation in that
city with the heads OF the Trenton
union''
Here in Newark we are not as
well organized as they are in Plain
field and Trenton, there being about
700 machinists in the local union,
said Mr.. Reilly, but efforts will be
made within the next few weeks to
get lot of new members in antici
patton of any move thar we might
decide to make. A visit will be made
to every shop in the city and the ad
vantages of organization will be
pointed out to those employed"
Mr.. Reilly stated that at the pres
ent time there Is very little war
material being manufactured here
In comparison with some of the other
cities in the State and that a good
deal of that material Is made for the
United States government
The local official has been in daily
touch with Vice. President J. J. KEEP
pier for the past week, and the atti-
tude of the local machinists will be
finally decided by orders from the
president, who is in full charge
of the situation in the East.
When asked what the union de-
mands would be Mr.. Reilly stated
they would ask for an eight-hour day
minimum wage of S2.25 per day for
machinist and 1915 per day for tool
and die workers.
Hill Strike But Forerunner.
The strike In the Hill section
shops lie only a forerunner to a gen.

SHRAPNEL PLANT FOR
ALLIES, REPORT SAYS
Location Near Oak Island Sec
ton May Become an In

A transaction involving the sale
of acreage in the Newark meadows
for consideration far beyond any
previously reported has been record
ed this week. 1t involves the trans
fer of 100 acres by Austen Nc
Gregor for $4,000 through John Fran
els Cahill for clients.
It has been further stated that the
purchasers. whose names have not
yet been divulged, propose to erect
plant for the making of shrapnel
and other ammunition on q large
scale, employing thousands of men.
Neither the representatives of MIR.
McGregor nor Mr.. Cahill could be in
duced to talk about the transaction
today. Mr. McGregor referred all
questions to Mr. Cahill to answer. Mr..
Cahill declined to discuss the propo-
sition in any way saying that any
publication would be premature.
The consideration reported is much
higher than that obtained or even
asked for by the municipal authorities
for city land or by any private owner
of meadow property
1t was stated that the highest pre-
Vious quotations on property in the
vicinity of the McGregor holdings
was $4O0 per acre This is unim-

about one-half mile south of this is
filled. This property may be rented,
but cannot be sold by the city.
James G. Hallock. deputy chief en-
gineer of the street and water de-
partments, said today that If any
thing like $4,000 was paid for 100
acres the price was extremely high.
He expressed doubt that such a
transaction was consummated.
ANY of the property in that neigh
borhood can be bought for from $3.50
to $3.50 an acre, unless it Is on the
water front" he said "Of course,
improved parcels are higher, but
$400 an acre for this property is the
most that can be Obtained
