 this end and with the view to having the strikers thoroughly informed as to the magnitude of the decision they will be called upon to make, Mayor
 Wilson has been asked to address the
 meeting tomorrow and this morning cancelled engagements in two cities
 of the State where he was to have
 taken part in welcome home celebra-
 tions.
 There was a general feeling of op- timism today throughout the city and among a large number of the work CTS there was an evidence of new spirit. It was admitted that the pup lie and active participation of Mayor Wilson was for the purpose of bring ing into full effect conciliatory meas ures.
 Some of the best informed men of the city, both in labor circles and in the field of the employers, regarded the move calling in the city executive as an evidence that the rough house tactics and strong arms measure both on the part of the Graphopnone off1- cials and on the part of the strikers would give way to reason and intelli- gent negotiations.
 Business Agent Lavit today said he welcomed the entrance of Mayor Will son into the efforts at strike settle ment and that if it was decided to- morrow that his presence to any ex- i tent interfered with the influence the i mayor might have then he would be very glad to withdraw.
 | This statement was made after La wit had said that he would insist or | original demands and called Wilson's ] introduction a political move. It wa: 1 pointed out to him that if he waE
 sincere in his interests to get a strike 1 settlement, then he should not regard 1 possible political effects, whereupoE 1 he declared himself as willing tC ! withdraw in favor of the mayor if i 1 would help.
 i Prominent residents of the city to- | day began to show a lively interest IT 1 the developments attending the worH 1 here of two Federal conciliators | They regarded the coming of the ! Washington adjusters as timely ir that they are disinterested govern | meth agents without power ovel ] either party to the controversy, and ] not concerned in the result. The Federal agents were investigating l the situation but a short time wheT | they turned to Mayor Wilson as z conciliator and on him pinned theil i hopes of ending the strike, whicf has been poorly handled in some re | spects according to the judgment o
 citizens.

PETROLEUM COM. PRESENTS REPORT ON LEGISLATION Regulates Article 27 That
 Nationalizes Oil
 Lands.
CARRANzA PROPOSALS
 BEING CONSIDERED
Oil Interests Satisfied With Committees Recon
 Inendations.

Mexico City, Aug. 2s--The petro- leum committee of the Mexican Sem ate, yesterday. presented a report on legislation regulating article 27 of the constitution of 1917, which na- ticnalizes oil lands and at the same time laid before the Senate a draft of a law regulating this article and eliminating all retroactive effects of proposed oil Legislation. This Is a concession for which foreign oil in terests have been working.
 The proposals submitted by Presi- dent Carranza last November looking to the regulation of article 27, now are being considered by the Chamber of Deputies.
 The Senate committees draft of the law is based on the Presidents pro- posals but makes important changes in the plan of the chief executive. These are embodied in section four of article three which provides that oil lands privately owned or leased shall be nationalized except "all private properties regarding which there have not been made contracts for the ex- Liberation and exploitation oT the sub 'Soil before May 1, 1917, the date when the present constitution became eff fective, and also those where the owner of the surface has not ShoWn by positive acts before this date that his intention has been to use sub stances derived from the subsoil."
 oil interests here have expressed satisfaction with the recommends 's~ns of the committee.
 The introduction to the report sets fo Dh the committees belief that property rights are protected by the triuCinIoS exDraSSPd in article 27 Ot the constitution and that the princi- pies outlined in the report respect the rights of oil interests legitimately acquired before May 1, 1917, withou' the sacrifice Of national sovereignty.
