night on what officials of the Inter

were virtually normal schedules, al

Officials of the union conceded that
subway and elevated lines were not
seriously hampered, but reiterated
their determination to fight to the
end.
Disorders that occurred in various
parts of the city resulted in only
minor injuries to few persons. In
some instances bricks were thrown
from the roofs upon the cars, and at
tempts were made to rush the strike

PLANS TO EXTEND
MEXICO EMBARGO
Administration to Stop
Shipment of Any Goods
Useful to Military.

Washington, June 26.-A virtual en-
barge on commerce between the United
States and Mexico, pending determine
ton Of their future relations, is being
planned by the Administration.
Customs inspectors along the border
have been holding up shipments into
Mexico since Saturday, and for weeks
no arms and ammunition have been
permitted to pass. Now it is proposed
to extend the restrictions TO prevent
the movement into Mexico Of any goods
which might be used in military op-
erations against the United States.
Such an embargo, executed by the
army and Treasury officials without
formal proclamation, would be in ef-
feet until the question Of peace or var
was settled. An official proclamation
would follow 9 declaration Of war.
The tentative embargo list drafted
to-day included such articles as lssth-
or, rubber, powder, dynamite. iron and
steel products which might be used
for military purposes, uniforms, shoes
and also several varieties Of foodstufs.

CENSORSHIP PLANNED
FOR MILITARY NEWS
Authorities Seek Way to Reg

Washington, June 26.-Administra-
ton officials and members of Congress
have been working to-day on a bill to
establish censorship owe. war news
as soon as a break with Mexico comes
Secretary of War Baker has arranged
press bureau of his own that will
control the handling Of all news from
the forces in the field.
Tho present intention OF those at
work on the censorship bill is not TO
attempt any regulation of publication
OF news in this country, but TO prevent
any information of military value
crossing the border. This is a difficult
task. since the Canadian border, as well
as the Mexican and the cables, must be
guarded. The big news associations in
this country give Canadian papers the
same service that goes TO American
papers, and newspapers from many Of
the border cities circulate largely
across the line. Various plans are be-
ing considered 20 meet this difficulty,
and il is hoped that the bill will be in
shape 90 present tomorrow.
Secretary Bakers press bureau is in
tended chiefly TO facilitate the making
public Of news that reaches the de-

START FOR THE BORDER
A and B Off-Cavalry Troops to
Go by Dawn.

Sea Girt, n. j., June 26.-Shortly be
fore midnight the first trsinload OF
New Jerseys National Guard pulled
out of the siding here. Batteries A
and b had started for the Mexican Dor
der. From every window hung heads
of the tired but enthusiastic youths,
who waved farewells TO the little group
of women who had remained about the
platform.
All day and up TO the hour of depart
ing members of the two batteries had
been working feverishly to get their
equipment and supplies ready. The de-
layed supplies arrived before noon.
At last the train that was TO carry
them to the front-whereve their par
ticular front" might be-arrived and
was backed on the siding. officers and
men dragged guns, horses and heavy
equipment aboard. There were plenty
of watchers during the day, but they
dwindled TO the few faithful relatives
who yearned for final word with their
boys before the train pulled out.
As soon as the Pennsylvania train
was out of the way, another was backed
into its place, and the work of loading
equipment and supplies for Troops A
and c Of the cavalry began immedi-
ately. These two companies will leave
during the small hours Of the morning
