their beautiful home Friday evening
was a most enjoyable affair. There
was a fairly good attendance, consid

DEMAND WITHDRAWAL
Of TROOPS FROM NAc0


washington. July 22.---An issue has
been Joined between the United States
and the Carranza faction In Mexico
that may force the hands Of this gov
eminent In its relations with the re-
public south of the border.
Carranza has violated the neutrality
Of Naco. just across the line from Mo-
gales. Arigona, and sharp representa-
lions have been sent to him. In which
he has been called upon to withdraw
his troops from that town. II Car
ranza should refuse. or fall to act
In accordance with this Injunction, It
kould be incumbent on the United
states either to enforce the neutrality.
Of Naco by the uses OF troops,. or re-
sort to other measures that might lead
to immediate consequences.
The belief 10 quite general that II
the administration IL disposed to In
tervene in Mexico that the opportunity
will be afforded In the event of the
army from Naco.
There is one way that the adminis-
tration could punish carranza without
4 resort 70 arms II he repudiated the
agreement under which Naco.s nsu-
trality was guaranteed by the Mexican
factions at the instance of the United
States This would be by shutting on
his supply OF arms and ammunition
from the United States. Such action
may be taken BY the President under
the authority Of resolution by Con-
gress In 1913.
The demand upon Carransa to direct
the withdrawal OF his troops was for
warded to Consul John r. SflIiman late
this afternoon. 1t should reach Car

Bridgeport. Conn, July 22.---Organ-
lied labor as well as the manufac-
turers Of Bridgeport have begun in
vestigations of the charges that Ger
man money and influence fomented
the Remington Arms strike, which Is
about to be settled amicably. Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American
Federation of Labor. who Is expected
here In the morning to confer with
the international labor leaders in
charge of the situation, plans to dis
cuss the German allegations with Ma
jor Walter G. -Penfield, general man
ager of the new Remington plant. 1t

Washington, admitted that what Ma

ington officials on the workers de-
mands would probably be secured by
Saturday night, also announced that
Gompers and the other influential la
Dor heads gathered in Bridgeport
would meet after the A. r. or L. pres
ident sees Penfield. Considerable re-
sentiment is felt by the labor heads
over the German allegations. 1t is
expected that the matter will be
threshed out among the labor leaders
themselves. AT any rate. the latter
did not hesitate to predict tonight that
the labor conference probably would
not be a peace meeting"
On the other hand. the Manufac-
surers Association has investigators
out trying TO subssantiate certain in
formation which has been received BY
the employers unsolicited. Nearly all
of them are convinced that there ia
much to the charges a German In
fluence, especially in the arms strike,
which is rapidly coiiapsing. AT the
same time they began working today
to clear the bad name which they
believe the Remington labor troubles
have saddled on the city. Some OF
them assert that the strike, even
though II did not progress far. might
have been avoided If Major Pentield
and the Remington officials had not
been SO obdurate in refusing TO meet
the labor officials and the newspaper
reporters.
