FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
WATCHING LABOR SITUATION

Washington, Aug, 2,-Officials of
the federal government, including
President Wilson, are closely watch
ing developments in the controversy
between twenty-five railway systems
and their 100000 employees and are
preparing to offer every possible aid
in effecting an agreement and avoid a
strike.
Today the president forwarded to
the labor department an appeal he
had received from the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
through Harry A. Wheeler, chairman
of the chambers committee on rail
roads, declaring a strike is inevitable
unless some strong measures of in
terventlon are speedily introduced" !"
and urging an inquiry.
Acting Secretary of Labor Post said
tonight he was in close touch with
the situation, but had not decided
whether action by the department
would be necessary. The federal
board of emdiation and concilation,
which is authorized by law to attempt
to divert strikes on railroads. also Is
keeping watch on developments and
its officers expect to be called on as
soon as the strike vote, now being
counted, has been completely can
vassed. They said tonight that moth
ing could be done at present.

PRISON FACTORY ABOUT READY
Machinery for Some Plants Delayed
by Manufacturers.

Oklahoma City Okla, Aug. 3,-The
factory building at the state prison at
McAlester is practically completed
and the prison authorities are ar
ranging to install the several prison
industries therein.
The machinery for the prison twine
factory that was authorized by the
recent session of the legislature will
not be ready for installation for sew
eral months and it seems to be a
matter of doubt whether the twine
plant will be in operation in time to
make twine for the wheat harvest of
next year in Oklaht ma. The delay
is due to the factories for much ma
chinery being behind with their work.
Members of the state board of pub
lie affairs who were in McAlester In
specting the factory building and
other matters in connection with the
prison are pleased with the status OF
affairs at the penitentiary under the
new warden, s. L. Morley Of Harts
horne, who took charge a month ago.

MEX|CO| IS
FAVORABLY
IMPRESSED
WITH U. S. NOTE ACCEPTING THE
SUGGESTION FOR JOINT COM
MISSION - PROMPT ACTION is
DESIRED.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Officials of
the de facto government of Mexico
have been favorably impressed, ac-
cording to information reaching the
state department today, by acting Sec
retary Polk's note accepting the sug-
gestion for a joint international com
mission to consider border problems,
but no definite indication has come
as to when General Carranza's reply
may be expected.
At the Mexican embassy it was said
the reply might be received tomor-
row, although officials would not dis
close on what information the state
ment was based
At neither the state department nor
the embassy would any official pre-
thorities would take in regard to the
American proposal that the commits
sion be authorized to discuss other
matters than the military situation on
the border. 1t was made clear by
administration officials that the sug-
gestion did not contemplate discus
sion of acquisition of territory, of
claims of one government against the
other arising out of the losses suf-
fered by Americans in Mexico, on
the one hand, or damage resulting
from the occupation of Mexican ter
ritory by American troops on the
other, or the processes which brought
the de facto government into power.
Speedy Report Desired.
Great stress was laid on the fact
that a speedy report was desired from
the commission by both governments.
This alone, it was said, would pre-
vent any discussion Of financial
claims or consideration of the dis
pute over a small strip of land in the
El Paso region, which has REQUIRED
at various intervals for many years.
SO far as the stTtus of the Carranza
goernment goes, it was added, the
United States has extended recogni-
tion to it and can not go behind that
act.
Officials would not say what-mat-
ters in addition to the military situ-
alton it was desired that the commits
sioners take up. Any consideration
of the internal affairs of Mexico, it
was said, must arise on motion of the
Mexican government itself. If the
' economic and financial situation of
the southern republic were deemed by
the Mexican commissioners to be ma
terial for discussion at any point the
American members doubtless would
be instructed to undertake it. The
possibility that from such a discus
sion might be developed a plan un-
der which American bankers could
go to the aid of the de facto govern
ment, it was pointed out, would rest
wholly upon the initiative of the Mex
| leans.
Labor Troubles for carranza.
Private advices today from Mexico
indicated that new problems are press
ing on General CarranZa with the
spread of labor troubles. No denials
were given but it was reported that
discomfort was spreading among Mex
lean railroad employees and that an
extensive tie-up of the lines was
threatened. The state department
had no reports on this subject The
Mexican embassy had heard something
of the trouble, but had no definite
