Workers Blame the ExpIOiters

New York, June 22-Carlos Loveira
and Baltasar Pages, representatives
of Yucatan (Mexico) organized work
ers arrived in this city Saturday and
have made public an appeal to Ameri-
can workers for peace between Mex
leo and the United States signed by
officers of the following Yucantan
unions:
Electricians, carpenters, seamen,
BARRIERS, masons, hotel and restaurant
clerks and cooks, commercial clerks,
smeltermen, hackmen, railroad men
and machinists, blacksmiths and boil
er makers.
Next week the Mexicans will visit
Washington and present a copy of
the proclamation to President Com
pers-who is now in the middle west
and also discuss with the A. F. of
L, executive his proposal that con-
ference be held at FL Paso, Texas, be-
tween representatives of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Mex
ican trade union movement.
The proclamation signed by the
Mexican unionists is a stirring ap-
peal for fraternity and peace between
the two countries.
Until the day on which our social
revolution broke out" says this
spirited document, Mexico was, de-
spite its wonderful resources, a land
of desolation and misery for the real
producer, for the proletaKans, be-
cause sheltered by the government
represented first by Porhrio Diaz, the
dictator, generally known as the czar
of the Americans. and later by Victo-
riano Huerto-ignorance, religious in
tolerance, alcoholism and proletarian
slavery in its most terrible form pre-
vailed in the country.
"In shops, mines and manufacturing
centers the condition of the toilers,
although not so bad as in the 'ha-
ciendas' were still terrible; II or IA
hours daily, poorly paid labor was ex-
acted without the hope of any pro-
gressive legislation at all being enact
ed that would secure their condition
as free citizens; at the mercy of their
owners Mexican or foreigners, who
while the real producers howled,
bore the yoke of servilism and suffer
ed starvation-drove through the bril-
liant streets of the city of Mexico in
luxurious automobiles, and built in
every corner of the same villas and
palaces that gave the capital of the re-
public universal renown.
Public instruction, especially in
the large rural districts, was entirely
abandoned, because it was the dicta-

ed through the hot coil, the temper
ature of which makes it superheated
steam. 1t then passes on and is shot
into the mixture in the intake, raising
the temperature of the gas as it min
giles with it. By weight water has
considerable more oxygen than air;
the oxygen in the superheated steam
combines with the carbon and forms
carbon dioxide. Thus any deposit that
may exist is burned up in the forma-
ton of carbon dioxide. The device
also effects considerable saving of
fuel.

torial policy, in this respect, to drive
the poor people to the great 'ha.
ciendas, great mine and factory re-
gions. where they could be more cas-
lily controlled by the 'rurales' and the
soldiers, instead of allowing them to
go to school and get an education to
become real citizens deserving of such
title.
'sWorkingmen in Mexico were killed
if they attempted to unionize or to
strike; the peasants were slaughtered
in order to secure their property; the
Yaqui Indians were deported or sold
into slavery in Yucatan, so that the
great landowners of the state of So
nora could sell their lands to Ameri-
can syndicates. Anybody who pro-
tested, orally or in writing, was
thrown into Jail, where Imprisonment
was worse than death.
1--WE want to say, very frankly, to
the American toilers that the Mexican
people do not hate the real American
people, the people who still have in
their heart the principles of Washing
ton and Franklin; we do not have
any hostile sentiment of any kind
against you, American laborers. In the
United States we only hate the mo-
nopolists, the great oil and railroad
kings, all those who have utilized the
richness of our land for their personal
benefit; impudently stealing from us
the fruits of our labor; the same as
they do with you in your country,
those very same compatriots of
yours, whose only interests are their
bank accounts, having no love of
country, honor, or high ideals of life.
BE on your guard, workers of the
United States. The Columbus raid, all
the anti-M eXican agitation of the
mercenary press of North America, all
the meetings, lectures and publica-
tions of our foes in the great Ameri-
can cities, are only for the purpose
of drowning in blood the desires of
brother people who have had the
courage and the strength to rebel
against their oppressors, of giving the
workers of the world an example of
the only social revolution that honest
ly deserves such a name.
"Be on watch, North American COM
rades. Do not allow any one to fool
you with the lies of those who, as
long as they can make money, do not
care very much about the killing of
thousands of laborers. Help us to
secure that, once and forever, the
United States troops be recalled,
avoiding the great danger that there
is and must be while khaki uniform
remains in Mexican territory"

journeys were made with the genuine
prairie schooners drawn by OK teams.
For many years the owner of this
unusual car has been an advocate of
good roads and this trip also is under
taken in that cause. His car is COM
fortably furnished inside with cook
stove, provision shelves, bedding, etc.
A picture of this up-to-date prairie
schooner is to be found in the July

When Francisco Villa raided across
our border and caused the counter
move of American troops to attempt
his capture on Mexican soil, most stu
dents of high finance in this country
'looked for just about what has happen
ed at last-the impossibility of Car
rama to control and smother Mexican
hostility to American occupation.
lThe fact that our National Admin
istration has made general call for
the state militia bodies for concen-
tration on the barber, coupled with
Carranza's demand for withdrawal of
our army, shows the critical stage of
affairs. The New York consiprators
have been very busy and there not
the slightest reason to doubt that
many United States officers have done
their level best to create a feeling of
hostility between Mexicans and
Americans in order to precipitate a
conflict. 1t is doubtful if general oc-
cupation of Northern Mexico can lon
ger be delayed and while the neces-
sity is deplorable, there is no reason
to believe the financial marplots who
are back of the seheming are going
to be able to dictate the course of
American affairs across the border.
OF course, we may expect the infam-
atory press of this country, edited
by as CONSCIOUSNESS band of scroun-
drels as ever wore stripes in Sing Sing
prison, to become particularly active
with their worst appeals to passion
in order to sweep the country off its
feet and demand permanent American
occupation. Temporary occupation of
Mexico seems certain now and ulti-
mately it may be best that such is the
case but while Woodrow Wilson is
President no plutocrat is going to
dictate the conduct of Mexican re-
habilitation for the sake of plutocrat-
ic profit, regardless of the noise which
will eminate from newspaper jack
ais. To prevent the national disgrace
of seizure of territory that does not
belong to us it will be necessary to
keep President Wilson in the White
House for another term and to back
him up with a congress which stands
for honor and morality instead of
downright theft under a cloak of hy-
pocracv.

questions of production and distri-

when solving the true remedy to ris-
ing prices and the answer to the ques-
tion is this: adopt the single land

collected honestly by putting a heavy
penalty upon those who attempt to
eyade or defy it and you will have
loosened the knot that has been tied
around production and which will

FREDERICK STREET
RESIDENTS ARE MAD
Delay in Paving ThoCoughtafe
Puts Property Owners at
Inconyenie nee.

Property owners ag on F-cdar-
lex street, betwee. Broadway ASST
Normal avenue, are cOmpI"-uia., a-au;
the delay of F. W. Keller, the Cont
tor, in paving the street.
The grading has been finished scy-
eral weeks, and the delay in pouring
the cement has caused much incOnvc-
nience to the people living on the
street, they say.
G. W. Setback, proprietor of the West
End Grocery, who lives on Frederick
street, said yesterday that he had been
unable to lazy in his winters supply of
coal because of the condition of the
street. There is absolutely no cx-
cuse for the condition of that street"
said Mr. Setback. "Tne weather has
peen ideal for paving the street. and
as the grading has been finished long
ago, the people residing on Frederick
cannot understand why we have been
neglected.
"While the street is unpavcd, We
are greatly Inconvenience. If there
was any reason why the men could not
work, it would be a different matter
But the weather has been fine We
cannot do any heavy hauling until the
street is covered with paving. As the
property owners are the people who
must pay for the work, | think they
ought to be given some consideration
now"
Mr.. Keller announced ten days ago
that he had intended to pave Frcdcr-
lex at that time. but rain had delayed
the work. Mr. Setback said yesterday
hat he last work hat had been done
was he grading.

WARRANTS ISSUED
IN 3-CORNER FIGHT
Father and Son Are Charged by
Dewey SulIerger of
South Cape.

Warrants yesterday were issued by
Judge ". H. Willer against father
and as Il result of fight that took
place late Tuesday afternoon at the
Mcbride planning mill. The quarrel
arose between two sons, and on either
side, the fathers interviewed.
The original quarrel was between
Grover Hartlc, an crploye at the plan
ing nil, and Dewey SUIIenger. Young
SuIlenger, according to the story that
was told to Judge WiIler, struck at
young Hartle when the argument had
continued for several minutes.
At that iuncture, the Judge was in
formed, David Hartle, straw-boSs a.
the mill and father of young Hartle
broke into the argument and began
pummeling young Sullenger. Sullenger
retreated when, he asserts, the elder
Hartle proposed to introduce an iron
bar into The battle.

J. RUSSELL CLAIMS
ELECTION BY 1900
Hill Still Claims He is Winner
Orren Wilson Loses in
Dunklin County.

With unofficial and estimated re-
turns in seven counties of his district
giving him a lead of 1850 votes over
his opponent, Congressman Joseph j..
Russell yesterday claimed his re-elec-
ton over David w. Hill of Poplar
Bluff by 1900.
In virtually all the Democratic coun-
ties of his district, Russell ran ahead
of his ticket, his friends have reported
to him, and in Dunklin County, the
estimated majority for him is between
1900 and 1900. In Cape County he ran
90 votes ahead of Wilson. and he re-
ported to the Cape last night that he
had run well in Butler County, the
home Of Mr.. Hill.
Russell outlines his majorities by
counties as follows: Scott. 500; Mis-
sissippi, 500; Dunklin, 1900; Oregon,
1850; New Madrid, 400; Pemiscot,
500, and StOddard, 700.
According to reports that were re-
ccived from Butler County yesterday
evening, Hill received a majority of
between 400 and 500 in Butler Coun-
ty. He has been unable to hear re-
turns from the western counties of the
district, but still claims his election.
The tremendous Democratic major
ity that o. s. Harrison received in
Dunklin County put the skids under
Orren Wilson in his race for State
Senator. Harrison is reported to have
a majority of moro than 1900 votes.
Orren Wilson last night made a
statement in which he conceded his de-
feat at the hands of Dunklin County.
Democracy in Dunklin is everlast-
ing" he shid.
Judge Edward d. Hays last night
said that the majority of 625 votes
which he received in Cape County is
offset by similar majority that was
returned for his opponent, Judge
Frank Kelly in Mississippi County, so
that the majority that Kelly received
in Scott County measures Kelly's vic
tory in the entire district.

FRAZIER REA TRAPS
live FOX SQUIRREL
Gives Animal to Rage for Zoo at
City Park-Gets 3 Wild
Geese.

Following one Of the most peculiar
squirrel races on record in the vicinity
of the Cape, Frazier Rea, Il driver for
the Cape Brewery and Ice plant, Sun
day afternoon captured alive the iai-
gest specimen of fox squirrel ever seen
in tn Cape.
Mr.. Rca yesterday turned the SPUR
rel over to Mayor Rage to be given
d home at the Fairgrounds Park Zpo.
At the same time that Rage took the
squirrel to the park, he had three wild
geese, presented to tn zoo by Alien
I,"l~,el, taken TO the park 70 MAKE
their home at the lake in the race
track.
Mr.. Rea captured the squirrel after
a quarter of a mile chase in corn
field, while he and some companions
were rabbit hunting west of town.
They found the squirrel quarter of
mile from tree, and after throwing
down their guns, they started out to
run the animal down.
Rea proved the faster on his feet
and finally covered the squirrel by
throwing his coat over it as the squir-
rel bed toward tree at the side Of
the field. The animal then was taken
from under the coat and brought back
to the Cape for the zoo.

RAT BIG As \ BEAR
SHOWN IN NEW YORK

New York. Nov. "a rat as big as
bear IS the latest wonder here.
The rat isn't dangerous, it doesn't
even carry about cholera or yellow
fever. It's name is pillotherium and it
roamed the United States in the region
now Colorado about three million
years ago. The skeleton set up in the
American Museum Of Natural History
here is the first complete specimen
ever found.
