SQUARE DEAL
is PROMISED
TO MEX|CANS
Thy Associates Press.)

CITY OF MEXlCO, June ia square
deal for everybody is the promise made
for the people and industries of Tamaul-
pas by Prof. Andres Ozuna, recently
elected provisional governor of that state
by the national senate after bitter fight
for the post that involved two generals and
caused the revolt of one of them. The
naming of a school teacher to govern a
state which, because of its oil deposits, is
described as the keystone of Mexico's in
ternational relations, j. in itself an inno-
vation in modern Mexican politics
'The people of Tamaulipas expect a
square deal, said the new governor, "and
they will get it. The foreign interests
need no special favors. They want a
square deal and I'll do my best to give it to
them"
Governor Ozuna. in addition to being one
of the few military men who have held
responsible government posts in Mexico in
the last decade, enjoys the added distinc-
tion of beng virtually independent in his
state. The new constitution for the state
has no yet been formulated 80 it remains
for the governor to designate what laws
shall he enforced.
Governor Ozuna has spent eight years
IN the United States and was gwen his de-
gree at Vanderbilt University in 1918.
Since January 3, 1916, he had acted as
director general of public education and
during his incumbency he put into effect
an era of efficiency by installing the merit
system for teachers, inaugurating educa-
tonal reforms, cutting down the office
force of his department and eliminating
politics in the teaching force. These re-
forms were put through and the number
of schools in the republic increased greatly
despite scanty appropriations.
Governor Ozuna was chosen by the ma
tional senate from among three candidates
named by President Carranza. The other
two were General Carlos 0zIina Hnd Cen
eral Rafael Cardenas. General Ozuna is
nephew of the new governor and will
command the military forces Of the state.

At the previous meeting, when thirty

not to pay the twenty-five cents per
month increase in union dues. supporters
Of the present alliance with the interna-
tionaI' organization declared that the
secession movement was merely local
disturbance in the southwestern end OF
the anthracite field. Since that time
however, local unions in other sections
OF District No. 3, together with locals In
Districts Nos. / and Z. have become
deeply interested in the proposed sep
arate organization and have recom-
mended a tri-district meeting OF the
locals in sympathy with the proposed
separate organization. In the communi-
cation sent out from Shamoldn today,
following a meeting of the officers OF
the temporary organization, each local
union has been asked to send repre-
sentative to the meeting on April 20 to
speak TOT OF against INC plbPpoNN oNNNo

L. S. HAS SPARE LABOR
Urges Manufactures to Use Federal
Service in Hiring Men

The Philadelphia Boursc has received
from the Department Of Labor at
Washington another call to the manu-
facturers of this country, particularly
those Of this city, to make use of the
agencies created by the Government
through which may be effected an cqui-
table labor distribution.
AS received by the Boursc, the appeal
10 the manufacturers was as follows:
css."
THE shipyards have been requested
by the United States employment serv-
ice to obtain their labor exclusively
through IL. Full compliance with this
request will best serve the interests Of
the shlpyards themselves and Of indus
try I'm general. II will eliminate the re-
Cruiting of workers by one yard at the
expense Of others or of other industries.
II will check the stampede Of men un-
fitted for shipbuildnG to the centers of
his industry, where they lie in idleness
while other industries are in urgent
need of them
What the United States employment
service is doing for the shipyards it can
do for other manufacturers. Many fac
tories still cling to obsolete employment
methods, 10 their detriment. and the OBJ
tanning of workers is a haphazard proc
eSS.
