Delegates Sign New Con-
stitution Containing Many
Radical Provisions
FIXES 8-HOUR DAY
AND PROFIT SHARING
Re election of a President
Prohibited-Church Prop
erty To Be Taken Over

Oueretaro. Mex, Jan. 3l.-Ihe dele
cates. 70 the Constitutional Assembly,
which ended its labors last night, as
sembled at / o'clock this morning and
signed the constitution on which they
had been working for two months The
ceremony was attended by great en-
thusiasm. All the members of the Cab
met were present except Luis Cabrera,

eight hour day, seven hours OF night

leans the preference in obtaining en-
ployment and acquiring lands and con-
cesSions
Under the terms of the new constitu-
ton foreigners must renounce allie
glance 70 the countries whence they

gent. They provide for TIE cutting up
of large estates and the return of com
munal and tribal lands.
The provisions regarding separation
of the Church and state virtually mean

George W. Perkins and Everett

in letter yesterday to Chairman Will
igm K. Wilcox Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee formally requested
him to call a meeting Of the natlohai
committee 10 select an advisory couh-
ell composed Of representatives oil an
the elements opposed TO the wilson Ad-

had no desire or intention of serving on
such council
Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. Colby pointed
ON, in their letter that since issuing
nrblic statement on January 10 sug-
costing that such meeting should De
called. they had heard from the lead
ing Progressivcs throughout the couh-
try who supported Hughes. and that
tbev were in full accord with their
stand and mad asked them TO press
their re0s..t for meeting
Chairman Wilcox declared last night
that he would make no statement IN re-
gard 10 the letter at this time. Mr..
Wilcox is known 10 be in sympathy
with the suggestion of the Progressive
leaders, and Il IS thought likely that
ne will call meeting of the national

MIR Perkins and Mr.. Colby declared
cain IA -esterday's letter that the ma
iority Of the men in control OF the
executive committee were "out OF tune
with modern thought" and opposed TO
4 liberalized Republican party
I'VE are unwilling TO believe that
the national committee, with repre-
Sentatives from every state the letter
stated. twill be short-sighted and reac-
tionarv if called together for free
and open conference on the affairs o.
the country. II the national committee,
after such n conference, should decide
that the Republican party should re-
main reactionary, this should be known
at once. so that other alignments can
be Immediately made. as no time should
be lost in preparing for the tight OF
1920.
'Tf ever again the Republican party
is TO be intrusted with government 1t
must make haste to offer to the people
of the country a constructive, forward
looking programme that will gain their
confidence. The Republican National
Committee is the supreme authority o.
the party between national conventions.
We believe il should convene TO dis
cuss fully and openly the grave and
important questions that confront our
country to-day.

CITY MILK DEp0TS
URGED BY DILLON
Legislature Will Be Asked
to Try to Lower Prices
in the State

The State Legislature is to be asked
20 take action to lessen the price Of
milk to the people of New York. John
j. Dillon. State Commissioner Of Foods
and Markets. announced yesterday.
This will be the first step in answer
to the Borden Company's price increase
of one cent quart for Grade milk,
effective to-day. The proposed bill Will
provide, according to Commissioner
Dillon, for an appropriation OF 100000
for three milk depots in Manhattan,
Brooklyn and The Bronx.
Farmers organizations, notably the
Dairymen'S League, would supply the
milk TO these dcpotS. upon the eXplrd-
tiOn of present contracts with the milk
companies. II would then be distrib-
uted to grocery and de!icatessen stores
for regular delivery.
The retail selling price, Commission
er Dillon said, would be eight cents,
including a profit for the storekecper
Of cent a quart.
"Only public support is necessary 10
make this move successful" he added.
"If We could establish this method of
delivery on a citywide basis il would
save $4,000 day TO the people Of New
York.
Moreover, the seven cent price for
which the storekeeper would get the
milk would leave the farmer with his
present profit. The saving would be
made in the present high cost of dis
tribution. The milk delivered from the
depots would be bottled and pasteur-
lied"
Speaking before the College Won
ems Club yesterday on the high cost
OF living, the Commissioner said that
there was no appreciate difference be-
tween Grade A and Grade b milk ex-
cept the cost The two grades. and
sometimes c milk. all came out of the
same creamery watts in most cases. he
declared.

SEES NO SOLUTION IN
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
Chambers of Commerce
Urge Safeguards for
the Public
From The Tribune Buresal

Washington. Jan. 3l.-The railroad
brotherhoods intend TO have their own
way or paralyzc interstate trsnsporta-
ton, and the decision Of the Supreme
Court or the Adamson law will not de
ter them, Walker d. Hines, chairman
Of the board of directors Of the Atchi-
son. Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. told
the National Chamber of Commerce to-
night.
In declaring that the public should
be protected against railroad strikes,
Mr.. Hines said:
"The danger 10 which the bushes
of the country is subjected as long as
labor organizations are permitted with
out restraint 20 stop interstate trans
portation for the purpose Of promoting
their private interests IS just as real
now as il was last August. and failure
10 deal with the matter SO as 70 insure
governmental control OF this problem
in the interest Of the whole people
will leave business subject at any time
and from time to time 10 be paralyzeu
whenever the brOtherhoodS believe that
their private interests will be promoted
ny bringing about such paralysis.
Strike Talk Stops Temporarily
Il think you must appreciate. also,
that the present absence Of strike talk
on the part of the brotherhoods is
merely temporary. Perhaps il is just
the velvet glove TO cover the iron hand
IN the hope that through that cXpedient
Congress may be induced TO let the
session end without legislation to pro
tect the public interest against the
paralysis of interstate transportation.
In any event, you can count upon II
that after the session of Congress shall
end and after the Supreme Court shall
nave decided the Adamson act test case
he country will wake up TO the pur-
pose of the brotherhoods to have their
own way or paralyze Interstate trans
portstion.
"This menace will arise whether the
Supreme Court holds the Adamson act
constitutional or holds 1t unconstitu-
tional. That act, even If constitutional,
will necessitate many readjustments
which must be matters Of agreement
between the railroads and the train
service employees, and you can be pre-
pared to hear threats Of strikes If the
matters are not agreed 10 as the
brotherhoods demand.
Not for Federal Ownership
Coming now 10 other questions of
governmental control. | believe we can
lay aside at the outset the notion that
the business men Of this country want
government ownership and operation Of
railroads as means of getting ade-
quate and efficient rail transportation"
Political railroad management will
not give as good transportation service
As can be obtained under private man
agement, he said A change from pri-
waite ownership to government owner

LITTLE THEATER PROSPERS
IN MID-WESTERN TOWN

Those concerned with the advance
ment of art in the drama will be in
terested in knowing that Galesburg,
an Illinois college town, is support
ing it's little theater" in a note
worthy manner. Popular Mechanics
Magazine describes this unusual in
stitution, which is owned, managed,
and directed by local men and wom-
en-, and in two years has built q sub
stantial foundation for further de-
velopment. 1t is fittingly known as
the Prairie Playhouse and. has be-
come a democratic community enter
prise that is backed by the good will!
of hundred of citizens. When prop
critics are needed for its sage, they
can be obtained from practically any
home in the town. Box office receipts
during the theaters first season paid
expenses. The past winter, 1t is in
ferred was even more encouraging.
The aim of those actively connected
with the venture is interesting. The
hope is eventually to organize a
strong group of players and bring
about the dramatization of unwrit-
ten stories of life in the upper Mis-
sissippi Volley.

RED" OWENS WITH HIS MOTIVE POWER TEAM WALLOPS QUAKER
WELEYs S=doRNER

Harrisburg is still in the cellar.
No hits when pitchers are going
right; weakness in fielding, and a
few other things not good in a ball
game, have been responsible for the
islanders failure to get into the win
ming stride. Perhaps the players are
homesick. They certainly have not
had chance to get acquainted with
Island Park.
The lateness in getting the con-
scription bill through is looked upon
as good thing for baseball. 1t is
probable there will be no PLAYERS
called until in October. Cities with
il easy reach of mobilization camps
are expected to be literally patron
lied.
If the Catlin bill becomes n law,
and there is an army of fighters in
the State who would like to see 1t a
certainty, there will be no violations
of ring rules. Timers will be obliged
to use stop watches, and it is certain
there will be no oversigkts in ringing
the bell at the proper time. Letting
a fight go eleven rounds, as was the
case a few weeks age, will not likely
happen under the new law.

NEW NIEXICO MUSEUM BUILT
LIKE INDIAN MISSIONS

The new museum building in San
ia Fe, n. M, which is being con-
structed under the auspices of the
School of American Archaeology at a
cost of 100000, is a fine example
of the results of movement in the
Southwest to preserve. as far as pos
sible in new buildings, the distinc-
tive features of the Indian architec-
ture of the region. The new structure
is an enlarged replica, in reinforced
concrete, of the brick and stucco
New Mexico state building at the
San Diego fair. 1t combines the pic
turesque chara cteristics of several
famous missions, reproducing the
balustraded recess of one. the facade
of another, and so on. 1t bears spe-
cial resemblance to the ancient Spa n
ish mission church at the pueblo of
Acoma, n. Ma massive building
of stone, timber and stucco, having
walls 10 feet thick in some places.
The museum will serve as state
civic center as well as an appIo opriate
shelter for rare archaeological col
lections.-From the Popular Me-

ebration this morning. 1t was a
great victory for them at Pittsburgh
Saturday. Considering that the west
ern high schools have been leading
in all meets for several seasons, Iar-
risburg's victory is all the greater.
It came with the absence of num-
ber of stars on the Tech track team.
The biannual Far Eastern Olym-
pic games, held in Toxic, Japan, last
week, proved unusually successful.
The entry list was larger than in any
previous meet and the competition
closer. Although the japanese ath-
letes emerged victors, they were
forced to show better performances
than heretofore. Close to 400 ath-
letes took part in the weeks games,
of which nearly fifty per cent. came
from China and the Philippines.

PROSPECTORS USE a
STOVE FOR VENTILATION

A novel method adopted by some
ingenious prospectors in Montana
for ventilating their prospect holes,
is described in the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. When they have dug
to such a depth that fresh air no
longer circulates freely to the bot
tom of the hole, they set up an air
tight stove at the edge of the shaft,
putting up three or four lengths of
stove pipe for a chimney and run
ming another pipe from the bottom
of the hole to the air intake a.t the
front of the stove. The latter pipe
is held in place by fastening it to
the shaft timbering. When a fire is
built in the stove, air is drawn from
the bottom of the shaft and fresh
air circulates downward to replace 1t.
Ventilation can be secured in this
way to a considerable depth.
