mine workers, asked what effect the
postmaster generals action would have
upon the existing strikes of

that while the telegraph strike was not
discussed during the conference with
Postmaster General Burleson. the COM

BULLETS WOUND AMERICANS

Several Ell PaSoanS including q
Mexican girl, were injured, also two
American soldiers on border guard
duty. General Erwin cited these
cases in explanation of his order for
the. American troops to cross and dis
perse the Villistas.
The fighting in Juarez between the
Mexican factions ragged at intervals
throughout Saturday night and Sun
day. Twice the Villistas penetrated
to the center of the town. They had
forced the federal garrison to take
refuge in, the buildings of Fort Hida!go.
With the main Villista force held in re-
not look bright for the Carranzistas
when the American troops came to
their assistance.
An American soldier observing the
fighting from the top Of an Ell Paso
"s~kyscraper' reported seeing a federal
firing squad execute IL Villistas against
the adobe wall Of Fort Hidalago.
Gonzales Evaeuates.
Mai. Gen. Francisco Gonzales, fed
eral commander, returned to Juarez
from the southwest early today and re-
sumed command of the federal troops
remaining after American soldiers en-
tered. Upon the occupation Of Juarez
by the Americans. general Gonzales
withdrew in the direction Of Samala-
yucca to- prevent any clashes between
the American and Mexican government
troops because of mistaken identity or
purpose. General Gonzales was as
sured by Lieutenant Coke, aide de
camp to General Erwin, that he would
be given every consideration and was
handed a sealed communication from
Brigadier General Erwin believed to
express these same sentiments. After
the visit Of Lieutenant Cox and after
reading General Erwin's letter, Cen
eral Gonzales announced he would re-
main 1T Fort Hidalgo and asked per-
mission to 60 to different parts of the
town now under control of the Ameri-
can troops. He also asked that his
officers and men who had .een tenn
porarily detained at the United States
immigration station he released. This
was ordere ddone.
The number of Villa rebels killed
during the engagement was placed at
200 by the federals, while 70 were
wounded, they said. They said they
had no estimate of their own losses.

PUBLISH GERMAN PROPOSALS

Paris, June 17.-The German
ter proposals made public yesterday,
contain the following assertions: q
{. Germany accepted Wilson's IA points

nomic conditions and Germany's admis-
sion t the League of Nations.

especially to abolition of compulsory
service, but contends she must retain
sufficient forces during the period of
transition" before reducing her army
to the 100, 900 limit.
Cession of upper Silesia and the Saar
basin should not be carried out without
a plebiscite. The same principle should
be applied to Posen. west Prussia; Dan
zig, Schleswig and Moresnet.
Dismantling Of Heligoland is agreed
to.
Although Justified in demanding re-
%storation Of her colonies, Germany Is
ready to accept a mandatory over them
under the League of Nations.
Remuneration Of German rights In
China is affirmed.
.Realization of the provision for re-
nunciation Of all of Germany's rights
in Europe outside her own frontiers is
impossible. s ..+
The obligation of paying for all dam
ages sustained by the civil populations
of Belgium and France is accepted.
Germany cannot make ton for ton
replacement Of destroyed shipping as
this is beyond her powers of produc-
ton.
Germany proposes establishment OF
a German commission to cooperate with
the allied PREPARATIONS commission in
working out the details Of payment OF
indemnities.
Demand Is made for immediate ad-
mission to the league Of nations.

nations under conditions Of reciprocity.
. Germany refuses to recognize any
justification or legality in criminal
prosecution Of the former kaiser or
other persons accused Of violations Of
the laws Of war, but declares h is
ready to see that violations of the laws
of war, but declares she Is ready to
see that violation Of International law
are punished and suggests the prelimi-
nary question as to whether such Of
Tense has been committed to an inter-
national tribunal of neutrals.
Protest is made again even temper
airy exclusion Of Germany from the in
ternational labor organization.
! Germany protests against "occupa-
ton Of her territories to guarantee full

The American crossing was made
with typical Yankee dash. Within 10
minutes after orders were given the
advance forces were entering -Juarez.
The preparations were made with the
same thoroughness as for a night raid
on the western front, but on a smaller
scale here.
Find Many Dead.
The American troops found Juarez
filled with dead and wounded Mexicans
Of both factions while the inhabitants

BLACKLISTING AGENCY
Misleading Advertisements Bring Men
to Toledo to Learn They Are
Expected to Scab

Toledo-The Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association of Toledo have
in operation a private employment
agency and are at present advertising
in Cincinnati and other cities in the
state Of Ohio for labor to come to
Toledo.
The private employment agency of
the M. 6& M. maintains a Bert lion
system Of blacklisting and is being
used to discriminate against members
of organized labor in Toledo. If you
are tabulated by them as an agitator
you must practically move out of
Toledo to get job.
The Central Labor Union of Toledo
has established a picket in front of
this exploiting and blacklisting insti-
tuition to acquaint those applying for
work with the real conditions. Hun
dreds of men have come to Toledo
expecting to secure fancy jobs and
are forced by necessity to accept any
kind of job or agree to work for less
wages than those now employed are
receiving.
These are indisputable facts and
cannot be successfully contradicted
by the M. & M. The purpose OF
course is to flood Toledo with labor
so that wages may be reduced and
trade unions put out of business.
The United States Department of
Labor Employment office granted
reasonable time, can furnish all en-
ployers who pay living wage a suf-
ficient amount of help.

FEAR RADICALISM OF LABOR
Seeming Trend Of Workers Of Cana
dian West Toward Anarchlsm Has
Alarmed the thoughtful.

In the Canadian West thoughtful
men are wondering how far the swing
Of the Labor pendulum toward the ex-
treme radicalism is to go. The United
Mine workers at their recent conven-
ton, representing about 1900 coal min
ers in Alberta and southeastern Brit
fsh Columbia, passed, without a dis
senting vote and amid applause, the
following resolution:
Resolved, That greetings be con-
veyed from this convention to the Rus
sian soviet and all the workers of Rus
Sia struggling for the same millennium
to the complete elimination Of the cap
italistic system"
The miners convention was short
ly followed by the Western inter-pro-
vincial conference of labor with 262
delegates representing practically all
the labor unions in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, Alberta and British Colum-
bia. Not only did this conference send
greetings to the Russian soviet govern
ment, but 1t advocated by unanimous
vote the breaking away from the in
ternational organizations and the foE.
nation Of the One Big Union.
