that the kaiser has gathered every

Another order just captured, bearing

Latln-American neutral nations ln

that his trip would IN an indirect way
contribute to a better understanding
and moro cordial relationship between
Mexico and the United States"
Mr.. Cabrera. although absent from
Mexico more than eight months and out
OF touch with affairs there. expressed
the belief that the recent nationallza-
tiOn OF the oil land mineral lands OF
Mexico wouldn't interfere with produc-
tion, and that Allied fleets would stlll
be able 10 obtain all the fuel they re-
quire at Tampico and Tuxpam. At pres
ent, he said, the Allied countries did
not have ship bottoms enough 90 carry
Mexlco's entire output OF OIL. and under
the new plan the production would be
greatly increased.
Charges OF pro-Germanism In Mexico
were denounced by Cabrera. who In
sisted a strict neutrality was being
maintained. In proof OF his friendship
for the United states he intimated that
his attitude toward the war was such
IN South America that in certain quar-

lows:
II wish n express with clearn7ss that

lon that In trying 10 bring Mexico and
Argentina into closer relationship we
are showing partially in the present
war at the expense Of the harmony
which must exist between the nations
on the American continent that are still
neutrals and between those that are
involved In the present struggle, Brazil
and the United States.
I'VE Mexicans believe that closer
amity between the Latin-Amerlcan
countries must not be based upon mis-
trust or rlvalries with our neighbOrs
OF other races or distinct interests. On
the contrary II should be based upon
the intelligent and cordial understand
ing OF all countries with which for
reasons OF geographical necessity we

Admiral Rosseau Looking
Over Field for Suit

MAKE DECISION
EARLY NEXT WEEK

The drydock situation for Philadel-
phla Is stlll IN a state OF investigation.
Admiral II. II. Rousseau, manager OF
the shlpyard plants division of the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, yester-
day said that by next week he hoped
to give out a definite announcement
that would dispose OF the drydock
question for the time being Az pres
eni. Admiral Rousseau said. he was
still looking over the field for suitable
sites for drydocks along the Delaware.
Il am particularly interested in the
sites proposed for the Petty's Island
project, the AlcNally proposition at
Gloucester, the Lincoln Park project
and project outlined by the sun Ship
building Company az Chester" said the
admiral. Il believe the port and harbor
facilities committee has recommended
to the Emergency Fleet Corporation 10

ciple OF making private interests put up

Justified In spending any money at all. /"
Admiral Rousseau intimated that In
all probability the drydocks would be
located farther down the river. owing
TO the fact that the ice menace was
not so acute there because Of greater
traffic cutting up the ice and the deeper
and stronger flow OF water.

Send PROTEST TO
WAR LABOR BOARD

Objects to Organizing
Steel Industry
WOULD HALT ACTION
UNTIL WAR is OVER

The Manufacturers Association OF
Wilmington has sent to the National
War Labor Board at Washington q
protest against its plan Of "organlz-
Ing the iron and steel industry OF the
country The protest Is as follows:
National War Labor Board.
Washington, ID. C..
Gentlemen-At a recent meeting OF
the American Federation Of Labor, a
resolution was adopted TO the effect
that a nationwide campaign be instl-
tuted for the organizing Of the iron
and steel industry OF the country. A
meeting was held In Chicago by fed
eratlon officials a week or so ago for
the purpose OF making plans to carry
out this resolution. This Is being done
under the pretense that such a cam
paign Is warranted by the provision in
the principles Of the National War
Labor Board recognizing 1.-The right Of
workers TO organize"
But the right Of men 10 Join a union
II they desire, and the right Of a great
federation OF unions to institute a de-
liberate systematic campaign directed
against peaceful establishments and for
the purpose OF stirring up unrest and
discomfort In order to recruit the ranks
OF the union, are two separate and dis
tinct things. That recognition OF the
right 10 Join a union carries with Il
any sanction 10 make such a national
assault upon essential war industry Is
a proposition that should be most Wig
orously opposed. Such a campaign
will inevitably lead TO dlsorganization.
loss OF discipline, and decrease Of pro-
ductlvity among workers engaged in
performing a very large part OF the
essential war work OF the country. II
Is not IN furtherance OF any national
or public need, but is instituted solely
in behalf Of the partisan interests Of
a class that IS willing 10 take advan-
tage Of the national crisis for It's OWL
ends.
This association considers the grav-
ity Of the situation such, that at a
meeting held today, / was instructed
TO formally protest against such ac-
ton TO your board and vigorously urge
that you take such steps as are neces-
sary 10 stop this movement until after
the war, and in doing so. bring TO your
attention the agreement which was
made when the United States entered
the war, that all shops which were
open shops before the war started
should remain open. and that all shops
that were closed, should remain closed.
and that no effort be made on either
side TO change this status.
Very truly yours,
The Manufacturers Assn
Of Wilmington.
