Policy Toward Mexico

Chicago, July 5.-How American ref
ugees from Tampico shoveled coal.
cleaned pots and pans and did other
menial SKIS aboard the United States
steamship Dixie, because the ship was
inadequately manned. was told today by
Frank S. Engle, of Chicago, secretary of
the Frisco Salvador Ranching properties,
who was the first of the refugees to ar
rive. Mr.. Engle declared the ship car
ried 80 refugees out of Tampico with a
crew of only $50 men, when 400 was the
number required.
Mr.. Engle said that when the Dixie
landed it unloaded $50 bitter critics of
the administrations policy toward Mex
leo.
How the Dixie could have been so
badly prepared is beyond all imagina-
tion," he said. The decks were never
scrubbed while we were on It. There
were no blankets. and most of us slept
in the open on the deck A man with
two little girls and two little boys was
given some blankets by the sailors, who
went without. The ship was so short
handed that we all had to turn in and
work. Some of US shoveled coal.
Mexico is important. and the people
will not stand back of Carranza. If they
could express their real opinion at the
polls without getting shot for it, they
would overturn the de facto government.
Although we are Americans we look
to the British to protect our interests.
The American governments vacillating
policy toward Mexico is more than a
joke, in our eyes. 1t is a crime"

ICE SHORTAGE IN THE WEST
WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS.

The president denies he has
thrown over the principle of arbi-
tration. But actions speak louder
than professions. The railways re-
peatedly offered arbitration. and
the president made absolutely no
real effort to get the men to accept
it. The president adds that the
eight-hour days is sanctioned by
social progress and justice and is
not an arbitrabIe question. This is
sheer nonsense. and if it were not
it would have no application to the
present controversy To say that
the question of an eight-hour day
is not arbitrable when a day of that
length has been esta blished in only
a very small part of the CONNER
cial and industrial concerns of the
country is absurd on it's face. Fur
thermore, what is more important
in this connection, the train en-
ployes have not asked for a real
eight-hour day, and acceptance OF
the plan which the president has
endorsed would not establish an
eisht-hour day. The plan of the
employees which the president has
endorsed. does not provide that no
employee shall work either more or
less than eight hours. 1t provides
If an emp1oye work more than
eiBnt hours ne Shall pS phAU ONCA
time for the excess hours, and that
l. he work less than eight hours he
shall receive a full days pay any
way. The Railway Age
Gazette believes that not only the
future of the railways. but to
great extent the industrial future of
he United States has been put at
stake by the form this controversy
has been given by President VIII
son and it believes that
n a strike come the chief respon-
sibility will rest on President Will

consumers, the railroads of the ven
trail west are having difficulty in Sc
curing adequate supplies of ice, says
the Railway Review.
The recent hot wave" says the Re-
view, served to diminish the reserve
supply at several times the normal rate
and for a time taxed artificial plants
beyond their capacity. The shortage
is particular onerous to the railways
because of the difficulty of keeping
perishable commodities in proper con-
dition en- route"

panieS, the public can understand
why it is that the many phases, in
recalling the early stages of the con-
ferences of the national conference
committee of the railways, and later
of the executive heads of the roads
with the president, nothing was de-
veloped to show that the brotherhoods
were called upon to yield any funda-
mental principle of their demands,
it having been specifically provided
that the punitive overtime clause be
submitted to the scrutiny of a federal
commission or impartial board In
other words, the railroads by conced-
ing the adoption of the eight-hour day
would of necessity submit to an in
creased expense of approximately
$50,000,000 a year, and, on the other
hand, the employees would stand a fur
Their chance of gaining other conces-
sions thru any subsequent award that
might be made
And further than this, the grant
ing of the S-hour basis day by the
railroads would open up broad gap
between the pay of the train en-
ployees and that of other workmen
and, in justice to all. the railroads
would be confronted by the plea of
other railroad employees who would
have to be considered. And we mus
also remember that despite a clamor
in some quarters against what had
been termed the autocratic or AFRO
CANT attitude of the railroads, the
leaders of the brotherhoodS, IS 1 see
il, occupy a unique position as auto
Gratis in this controversy, for they
have steadfastly refused to submit
their side to arbitration"
with respect to the monetary
phase of the negotiations, the further
fact confronts the carriers that the
proposal made by the president calls
for an increase of approximately
tv-enty-one per cent to class of wage
earners, who are already receiving the
highest wages in industrial work and
constitute less than one-ha1f of one
per cent of the population of the
country"
