'MISUNDERSTA TANDING. SAYS CARRANZA NOTE
 SEEKING WITHDRAWAL

Mexico City, April 13.-In it's note to the American government, asking that the American troops be with drawn from Mexican territory and that the pursuit of Villa be left to the Mex tcan constitutionalist army, the de facto government of Mexico contends that as the American troops crossed into Mexico without permission, they should be withdrawn until a proper foormal compact can be entered Into between the two governments. It is insfstent1y affirmed that the previous notes of. the American government 'em- phasized the fact that permission for reciprocal crossing of the frontier would be granted only in the event of the repetition of a raid similar to that made by Villa at Columbus. N. M.
 The note was sent to Elizeo Are dondo, the Carranza representative in Washington, with instructions for its delivery to Secretary Lansing, .'so end ing negotiations for a reciprocal cross ing of troops ad asking for disoccupa,- ton of the territory occupied by American troops in. view. of Villas party having been destroyed.'
 Throughout the note the emphasis was laid on the fact that the American expedition was undertaken under a misunderstanding.
 what was intended by the note of March 10, it is pointed out. was to submit Va proposal 'tby- means of which the forces of one country could rec1procally cross the dividing line tn- to the others in pursuit of bandits if unfortunately there should be re- peated1y along the border acts like those committed in Columbus.'
 The note adds, however:
 From the beginning the Mexican government judged that by reason of oM7 F0r the purpose of treating a, ease already passed, the said incident could not continue as a proposal for the recipro- cal passing of troops"
 The fact that the United States had incorrectly interpreted the note iof March 10 was called to the attention of the asfington government, the statement points out in a note dated March 1T. This note likewise en- phasized that the passage of troops would be permitted "only if. unfor- tunately, from this time forward there

HUNDRED STRIKE
 BREAKERS WORK IN CRAP HOP HONE
Several Hundred Strikers Have Mass Meeting in
 Ciglar's Hall.

More than 100 strike breakers were put to work this morning at the Amer ica.n Graphophone- Go. in the endeavor to keep machines moving that were stalled by the strike of yesterday. Un- ion members exected to ''pulT' these when Organizer Patrick Duffy arrives in the city.
 A mass meeting attended by more than 700 strikers was held this morn ing in Ciglar's hall, Spruce and Han cock avenue. John J. O'NeiI of the Central Labor union, George J.

should bs repeated eruptions like the one registered at Columbus or Of any other. kind whatever at any point of the frontier 1ine.''
 On March IS, the statement con tinues, Frank Polk, acting secretary of state, in an interview with the Car ranza confidential agent depIored not having the observations of the dezzi- can government before American troops crossed the border, declaring that the passage of troops took place in the best of faith and in the belief that it would not be necessary to en- ter into more details of an agreement which was considered definite and ended. The declarations made by MT. Polk were later confirmed on March 23 to the Mexican representative by Secretary Lansing, ''who stated also that he was sorry at having interpret- ed wrongly the contents of the said note in respect to the passage of troops and that they would not ad- vance more to the south of the place where they then were.''
 Reference is also made in the note to the declaration made by President Wilson on March 26, saying ''the se.-' petition was ordered under an agree ment with the de facto government of Mexico for the purpose only of cap turing the bandit Villa, whose forces have invaded territory of the United states, ana on no pretext would we order an invasion of that republic or a violation Of the sovereignty.
 That tdea," continues the note, published by his excel1ency, Presi- dent Wilson, was rectif9ed March S1 by message sent to our confidential agent in Washington in which he was instructed to call your attention to the idea indicated since the note of March 10 referred to the reciprocal passage of troops only in case that incidents like those which occurred at Columbus should be repeated"
 In conclusion, the note. which ia signed by Candida Aguilar. secretary for foreign affairs. pointed out that as the American expedition 'nas full filled It's objecting insofar aa tt will be able to do so, as the party headed by Villa has already been diBp0Essd and, finally. because there arc 1GesEi- can troops In sufficient uumbers puE-

 The decision raises once more in Connecticut the ancient controversy of whether an Injunction should issue to the offender subject to punishment when the offense is proved.
 The strike leaders heard of the in junction with interest today, and the view was expressed that the case would be taken to the court of last re- sort, in an effort to show at least that the injunction should not run be- forbid picketing for the purpose of lawful persuasion.
 The statute reads:
