THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

In the early part of the year it was
evident that Francisco Villa had the
ambition to become the political War
wick of the republic of Mexico. On
January he deposed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez, and installed Gen
eral Cara in his place. He was still
master of the situation at the City OF
Mexico, and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz. Meantime, the
fighting went on uninterruptedly, with
varying results, but none decisive.
In June the situation on the border
and elsewhere became so irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
to the fractional leaders that failure on
their part to come to some agreement
would necessitate Intervention. De
spite this intimation, the forces OF
Villa and Carranza continued to keep
revolution afame, and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed to be
more inexplicable than ever. Villas
star waned perceptibly. A new mill
tary influence, General Obregon, took
the center of the stage. He assumed
the leadership of the Carranza faction,
and his military successes were con-
siderable. In July General Gonzales,
another Carranza supporter, fought his
way into Mexico City, displacing Gen
era1 Zapata, who held the place in the
Villa interest. Later, Gonzales was
driven out and the situation was so
threatening to life and property in the
capital that, in August, American bat
tleships were ordered to Vera Cruz,
but were not put into action. In this
month, also, an appeal signed by Sec
rotary of State Lansing and the repre-
sentatives of South and Central Amer
lean governments asking all warning
elements in. Mexico to get together in
an attempt at qualification was sent to
the various leaders. During Septem-
Der the fighting on the Mexican border
grew more desperate. There were
many fatalities before United States
troops. gained control of the situation.
On October 10, nine of the principal
governments of the American hemi-
sphere, headed by the United States,
recognized the de facto government of
Mexico of which Carranza is the chief.

INDUSTRIAL AGITATION

Early in the year, the meetings of
the industrial relations commission,
held in New York city, attracted much
attention on account of the promi-
nence of some of those who were
called to testify. The chief purpose
of the investigation was to obtain the
opinions of well-known capitalists and
employers on the present relations of
capital and labor. January 10, guards
in factory near Roosevelt, N. j.,
fired on a group of striking workmen,
killing one man and wounding several
others. April 16, in Chicago, 1900
carpenters went on strike for an in
crease in wages. June IA, motormen
and conductors on the surface and
elevated railways of Chicago, $4,000
in all, struck for higher wages and
a complete tie-up resulted The dis
pute, however, was settled by arbitra-
ton after two days of business paraly-
sis. The carpenters strike in that
city. which had crippled the building
industry for several months, was end
ed by a compromise wage agreement
July 10. Ten days later, strike of
$4,000 garment makers in New York
city was ayerted by wage increase
OF from IL to Is per cent.
In July the employees of the Stand
ard Oil plant at Bayonne, N. j., went
on strike and serious rioting followed.
During the lawlessness which pre-
vailed, two strikers were killed and
