MEXICAN.AMERICAN CONFERENCE
At STANDSTILL.

FL Paso, Texas, May Mexican
and American conferees over the dis
position of the American forces in
Mexico marked time yesterday while
Generals Hugh l.. Scott and Frederick
Funston awaited word from Washing
ton as to the next step to be taken in
the negotiations with General Obre-
gon.
'fhe report of the American repre-
sentatives on the first conference went
forward by wire early yesterday morn
ing. On the answer of President Will
son and Secretaries Lansing and Bak-
er to its recommendation depends the
future status of the conference.
In the meantime the following facts
developed:
That to date the apparent intention
of the Washington government to keen
General Pershings column in Mexico
has not been changed.
That General Oregon, in yester-
days conference, served no sort of
notice on Generals Scott and Funston
that could be construed as an ulti-
matum demanding immediate with
drawal
That the desire of the de facto gov
.ernment for withdrawal again was
stated, but that the only discussion
along this line was regarding the ad-
visibility of an American retirement.
That there was considerable dis
cussion of the possibility of effecting
American and Mexican cooperation in
the eradication of scattered Villa ban
dit groups.
That there is a strong possibility
there will be only one more conference
held, that depending on the wishes of
the Washington government
That while the present negotiations
are proceeding, shipments of supplies
to the American expeditions front are
going forward uninterruptedly, among
other supplies leaving the Columbus
bas yesterday being nine truck loads
Of ordnance
From stray bits of information that
became known today it appears that
yesterdays conference ended with the
question of withdrawal of the United
States troops still uppermost in the
minds of the Mexican conferees.
They are understood to have tried
to impress on the American represen-
tatives their claim that political condi-
tons in Mexico are such that they can
not be responsible for any eventual
tiles that may result from continued
occupation Of Mexican soil by Amer
lean columns. They are said also to
have laid stress on the fact that the
position of the Carranza government
would be extremely delicate if the
eXpeditionary movement were not
ended.

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First TO Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made 1t plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity of the pro-
posed increase Of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means of settle
ment Of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine, Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
81 deeply deplore, In the name Of
labor, in the name of justice, in the
name of American ideals, the surren-
der of the Executive and of Congress
TO force, instead of permitting reason
to reign.
THE measure to which have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking, an
eight-hour measure. 1t was a wage
measure. 1t was plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. l do
not speak of the equity of that. That
is a matter to be fairly considered.
want what is just and right with re-
spect to wages. l am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement Of
these Industrial controversies. We
can settle everything in this country
If we approach those matters with
fair and open mind and an examine
ton of the facts.
This particular measure shows on
its face that 1t was legislation in adj
vance of the investigation, instead
Of investigation In advance Of legisla-
ton. 1t is said that there was in its
favor the judgment Of society. The
judgment of society in this country
has never been passed In favor of leg
islation without knowledge Of the equi-
ty and regardless of the facts of the
case. There was no judgment of So
ciety in favor of the roads which were
excepted from It's provisions. If there
was judgment of society, why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
of roads or roads less than 100 miles
in lengthf l say, away with such pre-
tense! 1t was a surrender to force In
stead of clear, candid, faithful
framed examination of the facts, and
then action In accordance with Ameri
can principles.
"Autocracy represents force; tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule of the common judg
ment after discussion after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

HUGHES, LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. GomperS, remembering
only that he is a Democrat and for
getting that he is a leader of organ
lied labor, ventured to assert that
Mr.. Hughes is unff1endly to labor be-
cause he concurred in the unanimous
decision in the Danbury hatters' case,
he ventured on very thin ice. The
Chicago Tribune promptly reminds
him that an honest judge must apply
the law as he thinks it is, not as
he thinks 1t ought to be; and asks
him to tell those who look to him
for political advice something about
the record of Mr.. Hughes as Gov
ernor Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ Of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
Governors chair at Albany for his
place on the supreme court Here 1t
is:
"Now that Gov. Hughes has retired
from politics and assembled to a place
on the highest judicial tribunal in the
world, the fact can be acknowledged
WIluOul
corns that he was the greatest friend
Of labor laws that ever occupied the
Governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-six
labor laws, including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted In this
or any state.
HE also urged the enactment OF
labor laws In his messages to the
Legislature, even going so far as to
place the demand for a labor law in
one of his messages to an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature.
''Only 1872 labor laws have been
enacted In this state since its cree
ton in 1777-in 1873 years. One-third
of these, exceeding in quality all Of
the others, have been enacted and
signed during Gov. Hughes term Of
three years and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on
this point: "Mr. Hughes Is no dem
agogue and no visionary. He is a
man of courage and conscience, and
n labor cannot confide its cause to
his rock-bottom Americanism there is
something wrong with Its cause

DR.. HARVEY w. WILEY
TO VOTE FOR HUGHES
He Says Wilson Has Failed to Enforce
Pure Food Law.

81 favor the election of Mr.. Hughes
to the Presidency for entirely differ
ent reasons than those held by most
of his supporters. 1t is not because
Of the Mexican policy nor the foreign
policy of the Administration nor by
reason of its domestic policies. 1t Is
because of the apparent indifference
of the Administration of President
Wilson to the cause of pure food and
drugs. Practically all of the abuses
which were injected into the Pure
Food Law by the preceding Admins
trations are still In force. Benzoate
of soda is still regnant. The fumes
of burning sulphur are marching along
undisturbed. There is evidently lull
In the activities of the Administration
of the law. A well-knOwn beverage, de-
clared by the Supreme Court misbrand-
ed and amenable to the Food Law has
not been molested. No attempt has been
made to enforce the law in regard to
the bleaching of flour. The repeal of
the mixed flour law. that splendid
safeguard TO the purity of our bread.
has been tacltly approved by the
Treasury Department.
"Mr. Hughes in his activities on
the Supreme Court has stood like a
stone wall for the proper Administra-
ton of the Food Law. l believe his
election would see a radical change
in the attitude Of the government
towards pure food and pure drugs, so
vital to the welfare Of our people.
For this reason, ! sincerely hope that
Mr.. Hughes may be chosen as our
next President.
81 should expect Mr.. Hughes as
President TO have. the same attitude
toward the pure food and drug law
that he had as judge on the bench
and to appoint secretary of agri-
culture with subordinate officers who
would be enthusiastic and earnest In
the enforcement of the pure food law
for the benefit of the physical, men
tai and moral welfare Of our people,"

Sometimes you hear men, sensible
men, too, say, I'm going to vote for
Wilson this year because he kept US
out Of war"
Ask such men short question.
Ask them, "Out of what warp
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of the
European War; No. He has himself
In a formal address to congress spok-
en- of the European war as "a war
with which we have nothing to do, a
war whose causes do not touch u.s."
How could Mr.. Wilson keep us out
of war with which we have nothing
to do and whose causes do not touch
usi
Did he keep the rest of the western
hemisphere out of the European war?
No independent nation on this side
Of the world is involved in it; the
only people In 1t are the colonies of
European powers and they had no
voice In their fate, for they were au-
tomatically at war when their mother
governments went to war. Who kept
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, out Of
the European war? Did Mr.. Wilson?
Did Mr.. Wilson keep us out Of war
with Mexico7 No. In his term more
Americans have been killed by Mexi-
cans and more American property has
been destroyed by Mexicans than by
Spaniards during the whole Spanish
war. In his term we have seized
Mexican port and have sent our entire
regular army and militia to fight Mexi-
cans. In his term Mexican armed
forces have invaded American soil and
fought battles against our people with
in our boundaries.
President Taft went through two
Mexican revolutions during his term,
the revolution against Diaz and the
revolution against Madero. American
lives were safe In Mexico during that
time. No Mexican cities were seized
By Americans and no armed Mexicans
invaded the United States while Mr.
Taft was In the White House. Yet Mr..
Taft never thought of asking the
American people to vote for him be-
cause he kept US out Of war with
Mexico. He put an embargo on arms
80 that American weapons would not
be sent across the boundary, and he
refused to interfere IN Mexican affairs.
When he left office Mexicans liked
Americans and Americans were safe
in Mexico. Since he left Office Next
cans hate Americans and Americans
dare not remain in Mexico. Did Mr..
Wilson keep US out Of war with Mexi-
CO? Not If words mean anything.
Mr.. Wilson did not keep US out Of
the European war and he did not keep
us out of war with Mexico.
Out OF what war, then? Detroit

NO ONE WAS AFRAID OF
HAITI,

Haiti did not behave as badly
to US as Mexico behaved; but
Mr.. Wilson interviewed, fought
the Haitiens, shedding their
blood and the blood Of our
troops, took possession and now
has our armed forces In control
of Haiti and directing It's gov
eminent. His course of action
In Haiti can be defended only
If his course of action In Mex-
co is unqualifiedly condemned;
for such action was far more
needed in Mexico than in Hal
ii. But there was a difference
in the two cases; and to Mr..
Wilson 1t was vital difference.
Haiti was weaker than Mexico.
