SEEK TO STIR UP
SYMPATHY STRIKE
New York Labor Leaders Try
ing to Gain Support For
Striking Street Car Men
Delay Likely.

New York, Sept. 12.-With the lead
,rs of 100000 labor men Of Greater
New York and vicinity threatening a
sympathetic strike. traffic on the sub
way and elevated lines in Manhattan
and the Bronx impeded. and the sur
face systems in those two boroughs
and West Chester county virtually tied
up, the general strike situation as
sumed as more serious aspect today.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, de-
clined to discuss the probability Of a
general strike, but union leaders as
serted that if necessary $4,000 union
men could be called out within six
hours
Traction officials attribute the fall
ing off in service on the subways and
elevated roads to the unprecedented in
crease in traffic caused by the stop
page of all the surface lines. Union
leaders claimed, however, that the de-
lection of heretofore loyal employees of
the roads was responsible
Ten strike breakers, most Of them
from Chicago, who said they had "es-
capped" from one of the PETERBOROUGH
barns presented themselves before
Mayor Mitchell and the public service
commission today and charged their
employers, strike breaking agency
with forcing them to remain on duty
at the point of pistols, the weapons in
many cases being held by New York
policemen. The men complained that
they had been misled as to pay and
working conditions and begged the
commission to aid them.

further and rather sharp exEsange o.
notes between Great Britain and
Sweden in regard to the difficulties
brought about by the entente allied
blockade and Sweden stretaliatory seiz-

The British foreign secretary, Vis-i

to submitting the matter to arbitration
Sweden must promise not to Interfere
again with English parcels post mat
ter in transit across Sweden. The
Swedish government apparently IS de-
termined not to make such promise.
1t is notable that until now the cor

wholly between Viscount Grey and the
Swedish minister in London. Count
Wrangel, but Viscourt Grey says the

Stockholm is being directed to present

RAIL WAY DISPUTE
MAY NOT DEVELOP
Roads and Trainmen May Get
Together on Long Contract
Without Carrying Case
to Court.

Washington, D. c. Sept. 11-From
source close to the railroad brother
hoods, it is learned that both the rail-
roads and the brotherhoods are consid-
ering means of adjusting their diff
cultieS without recourse to the courts.
It was stated that neither side desires
to create situation involving a ne
tional crisis, such as they have just ex-
perenced
To that end, it was said, negotiations
are being opened looking to a contract
or scheduled agreement which VIII bind
both interests for term of years. The
brotherhoodS realize that if the rail
roads contest the constitutionalit of the
eight-hour law they have the risk Of
losing the advances in wages the laws
enforcement will bring to them and the
railroads feel that any contest on their
part to have the law set aside may
cause them to lose any chance for an
increase in freight rates by Interstate
Commerce commission action.
Senator Reed Of Missouri, las intro
duced in the Senate a resolution au-
thorizing the Interstate Commerce
commission to make a study Of the cost
of operating the railroads under the
cight-hour system and report to COM
greSs in December.

MEXICO soon MAY
Be DEEMED SAFE
Commission Checking Up the
Ability of Carranza to Pro-
teCt American Prop
erty Owners.

New London, Conn, Sept. 11.-An In
quiry, which has for its object tha re-
turn to Mexico of Americans with prop
erty interests there, was begun here
today by the American Mexicon joint
commission. 1t was Indicated that, if
the facts disclosed warrant it, the state
department might withdraw its warn
ing that Americans stay out of the
neighboring republic for the present.
At the suggestion of the American
delegates, the Mexican cOnferceS began
presenting detailed reports as to the
progress made since the recognition Of
General Carranza toward reestablish-
ing order. Whether Americans are to
De invited by their government 10 re-
turn to their properties, it was indicat-
ed, depends apparently upon the SHOW
ing that can be made as to the ability
of General Carranza to protect Them
from bandits. The commission expect
ed to issue a statement later in th" day
giving the substance of the reports on
tins subject which have been presented.
Another phase Of the discussion soon
to be taken up will be the various de
crees issued by General Carrln2a,
which are held to be confiscatory by
Americans operating in Mexico. These
are being arranged and classified for
the commissions use, and tabulations
are being prepared to show their eff
feet in dollars and cents upon American
property holders in Mexico
Luis Cabrera, head of the Mexican
commission, said today that the prog
rcss which had been made by his gov
eminent during the last year would
prove surprising to those who had no
direct information on the subject.
Secretary Lane, heading the aneri
can delegation, indicated that the M ey-
lean commissioners fully realize the ne
cessity for getting American owned
properties hacI. to work. The reEan-
GRAFTON Of Mexico, he said. depended
on getting the country to work again
and the present object of the joint de-
! alterations was to 3etermin" CXocl!Y
what conditions Americans Woild face
when they returned to their properties.
! Since their meeting three days ago
the American members have devoted
much time to u study of government
reports on the various phases of the
border problem. They entered the
meeting today prepared to go into II
detailed examination of the various
plans for border patrol that have been
suggested.
