SAYS N E: 1XIcAnS N'AN'TI|' ' ' ID DRIVE:
 AMERICANS llj1
II. s. Protests Regarded as Being Perfunctory by
 Carranza Government

Washington, Dec. 10.-Further testimony taken by the Fall com mittee Investigating Mexican af fairs, made public today, pictures the Carranza government as re- garding all diplomatic protests of the American government as per- functory and accredits to officials of the Mexican government a poli- cy of driving Americans out of the country.
 The committee today made pub lie the testimony of W. r. Buck lay, an American lawyer. long resident of Tampico and one of the well known men of the American colony in Mexico.
 "Luis Cabrera (MeXican minis ter of finance) told me very frankly" testified Buckley, "that the menace of the Americans in Mexico must be removed, and that the only way to do this was to drive him cut of the country and take his property.
 "He explained to me that MT. Wilson was what he was pleased to term 'an advanced liberal, a great democrat,' whose concern was for the welfare of the people of the world and was not limited to the narrow bounds of the Unit cd States. He said MT. Wilson was opposed to capital in Mexico and everywhere else, no matter to whom the capital belonged, and that in expelling the American from Mexico the constitutionallsts would receive the sympathy of the American government"
 Buckley assailed the attitude ot the oil companies in Mexico.
 "The Mexican situation has been made too much of an oil ques- tion," he told the committee, "anc has been confused too much with the oil. The oil companies have suffered and are entitled to re- lief, but their suffering has beer nothing as compared with that o1 the Americans of smaller means.' The oil companies, Buckley charged, had pursued weak ane vacillating policy livery similar tt that of the American government in handling the general Mexican situation"

Il.S0N URGED 10
 PROTECT AMERICAN
 OIL FROM MEXICANS
Soldiers of CarranZa Ere quently Have Stopped
 Drilling

Washington, Dec. 10.-Another memorandum on the Mexican sit uation was sent today to President Wilson. It deals with the inter ference of the Mexican govern ment' with the operation of Ameri- can-owned oil properties in Mexi co and was prepared by Chairman Payne of the shipping board after representative of the Associated Mexican Oil Producers. headed by F. R. Kellogg of New York, had presented the situation to him.
 At the same time, MT. Payne prepared and sent to Secretary Lansing letter urging the im' portance of protecting the Ameri- can supply of Mexican fuel oil on which the shipping board is almost solely dependent for fuel for it's 500 oil burning passenger and freight steamers.
 It developed today that the state department has been contin- uing to protest to the Mexican government against decrees forbid ding the drilling of new wells on privately owned property in the Tampico fields and other decrees affecting the oil interests of Amer jeans and other foreigners in Mexico.
 Three notes have been dispatch ed within six months, but it was said today that President Car ranza had not replied to any of them. The first went forward last June IS, the second October 1, and the third November IS. In the first two the state department specifically protested against the action of the Mexican government in preventing. the drilling of new wells on property owned by Amerl- cans and insisting upon protection of Americans working in the Tam pico oil region,
 The note of November IS was dispatched after receipt of off cial information that Carranza soldiers had seized another Ameri- can-owned we'll November 12. ! Stopped Drlllmg.
 It was learned today that Mexi- can military forces at various times during the last month had stopped drilling operations on American companies on the pretext that ''permits" to drill had not been ob- tained. In order to obtain the "per- mits" foreign oil companies must agree in advance that such wells as may be drilled would become the property of the Mexican govern. ment. The United States had re peatedlf protested against the de , crees in particular.

CHINESE ISSUE ENTERS STRONGLY INTO
CONTROVERSY THAT STARTED P|CKET|NG
Picketing Unfair, Says Rest
aurant Owner, Not Notified
of Any Demands by Union;
Bakery Unionized.

Picketing of the French restaurant
by union men and women is unfair
discrimination and "spite work" ac-
cording to the statement today of Otto
Hohbach, part owner of the restau-
rant. Mr.. Hohbach asserts that the
union demands that the restaurant be
signed up at once while he says two
weeks time was extended other res
taurants employing help under SINH
lar conditions.
''If the whole affair centers around
the Chinese cook, All Jim, who had
trouble with one of the Mattresses re-
Gently, we can replace him" Mr.. Hoh-
bach stated 1--WE have not been no.
titled of the Unions demands. how
ever. and will not be forced into sign
ing the card unless given equal op-
portunity with other local eating
houses employing Chinese cooks and
the open shop principle. Our wages
and hours are the same as the unions
ask.
My bakery is 100 per cent union,"
he continued. In this statement he
was backed by the three bakers en-
ployed there and by a certificate OF
agreement with the Bakers and Con-
fectioners' Union Nc. ia. Of Port
land. This is the only union bakery
in Pendleton," he and his bakers said.
Mr.. Hohbach and Ernest Hohbach
who manages the restaurant. both de-
clared that the union was discriminate
ingl against them in picketing the
place and asking immediate compli-
ance with their demands. They main
tanned that Pendleton is an "open
shop" town and that they would he

union help when they had assurance
that they would be kept supplied with
help.

Justice for Working People De-
manded, Says Secretary of
Union; Says no Discrimina-
tion is Being Shown.

The cooks and walters are demand
ing recognition of local eating houses
to insure uniform hours and working
conditions and to give employment
first to Americans.
The foregoing is the statement of
II. c. Hearing. secretary of the union
cook i'm a local restaurant.
I'VE ask only justice to our working
people," Mr.. Hearing said. THE girls
picketing before the restaurant are
doing so in protest against working
for. or with. Chineses cooks and res
turant owners, with long hours and
a wage too low for decent living, We
have not picketed other houses be-
cause they have assured us they will
sign our agreement at once. We
did not offer them two weeks in which
to comply"
Mr.. Hearing and another member
of the union tried to present their de-
mands to Ernest Hohbach. manager
of the French restaurant, the union
secretary said today but Mr.. Hohbach
would not listen to them. Mr.. Hear
ing said that MIR. Hohback's only Of
fer was to hire white union cooks
and place them under bond to work
for six months or n year. Mr.. Hear
ing did not understand Mr.. Hohhach
to mean that the union should give
bond he said
'Hohbach's bakery is fair to the
bakers union but not to organized
labor" Mr. Hearing explained. "Sc
long as a man runs one union shop
and. one non-union shop, neither is
fair. There is no discrimination in
the picketing of the restaurant. for II
union goods are sold from n non-union
shop. they, too are unfair to organiz-
ed labor"
When asked why pickets had not
been placed in front OF other eating
houses, Mr. Hearing said that one,
coufectioneries and soft
drinks, was not classed as a strictly
eating house. The restaurant in ques- |
don had given promise of immediate |

dining room had also made satis-
'actory arra ngement.
