That is a question that it would
be impossible to answer now. There

TAMPICO, April Ito say that
the oil men Of Tampico are between
the devil and the deep blue sea is
quite literal.
In the course Of this morning !
had the pleasure of meeting a repre-
sentative gathering of oil men,
called for the purpose of presenting
their side of the petroleum contro-
versy. 1t was interrupted by a late
conner with the news that bandits
had just captured a payroll of the
Huesteca Oil Company, after shoot
ing two Americans and one Mexican
who were guarding it. This little
episode took place in the neutral
zone, beyond the lines held by the
Federal government and near the
zone commanded by Pelaez.
1t was agreed with the oil men
that no names should be used. They
said with the utmost frankness that
they had nothing to hope for, either
from Washington or Mexico City,
and that whatever they might say
would be used against them.
1t was suggested that round
robin could be drawn up which would
divide this responsibility equally
among all present

I'LL Feeling

While no one was actually injured
during this demonstration, the
Americans were embroiled with their
British neighbors because their Brit

to stronghold prepared for their
own nationals in times Of emergency.
and this feeling Of illwill enrcndercd
in time of stress has not wholly died
out.
When Tampico business men sent
representatives to Washington to lay
their grievances before President
Wilson they We're unable to see him.
Referred to the Secretary Of the
Navy, they obtained no satisfaction
from Mr.. Daniels.
Against the Mexican government
the grievances are equally numerous
and no less bitter.

Taxes assessed in the municipality
Of Tampico amount to some ST 800
coo per annum. 4 revenue said here
to be larger than that Of Kansa
City, but the Americans have uo
voice i'm the administration of tie
revenues, and plans FOR civic inn
provements are promptly side
tracked If presented.
There are leaks between tho Car
rama officials in Tamnieo and the
outlaws in the oil camps, SO that the
outlaws possess at times uncanny
knowledge Of the routes Of payrols,
the amount Of money carried and the
strength Of the guard. No satisfac-

Oil Men Are
DistrustftsE

Mexican officials say that the
petroleum law presented at the last
Congress by President Carranza will
be reintroduced, and that the confs-
catory features of the new constitu-
ton viii be eliminated, so that on all
property purchased prior to the date
on which the new constitution be-
came effective titles will be absolute.
This, they say, is to be effected by
means of an amendment to which it
is promised Mr.. Carranza will con-
sent.
But the oil men axe distrustful.
eve will not do any new business

sentative of one of the largest
American corporations.

too far there" interrupted man

objection to doing business under the
new constitution provided the royal
ties fixed are such that I can make

at is possible the other resumed,
chat some of you may be able to
operate under the new law, but to
make the attempt would, from our
point Of view, mean placing full re-
lance upon the promises of the Car
rama people, and what we want
from them is not promises, but per-
formances. Our experience thus far
with the government in Mexico City
is quite as unsatisfactory as our ex-
perience with Washington, and we
feel that we have nothing definite
from either source upon which to

F1'iey1dIess OIL Men
Tan1pico Operators Hare No Standing Either
at Washington Mexico City and Haze TO
Pay Tribute for Protection

State Department at Washington is
perfectly aware as TO our relations
with Pelaez, and has approved them
from the beginning. Washington
knows to penny what we have paid
and are paying Pelaez and has never
interposed any objection"
1t was the sense Of the conference
thai unless the Mexican government
actually carried out its promises re-
garding the elimination Of the retro
active features in the new constitu-
ton regarding the ownership Of oil
discoveries the situation rs regards
Mexico would be quite hopeless; that
an appeal fer protection or assist
ance from Washington would be
equally hopeless, and some Of the
grievances of the oil men against
both governments were thus out
lined.
Washington. at the time of tie
Vera Cruz episode. instead Of help
ing the Americans in Tampico, or
dered the two naval vessels then in
port to sea, leaving the Americans at
the mercy Of mob which was pa
rading up and down the streets
shouting Death to the Gringoesw
Washington apparently held to the
view that Mr. Taft had given ample
warning to Americans to get out OF
Mexico and lad assisted those who
needed aid, and that if any were
foolish enough to remain behind
after this warning it was their duty
to take care of themselves.

Finally, it IS charged, but with
out proof, that many Of the hold-aps
which frequently take place between
Tampico, which is controlled by the
officials Of Mr.. Carranza. and the oil
zone, which is guarded by General"
Pelaez, are the work Of Carran-
zistas.
The oil men say that, on the one
hand, they have contributed literally
Of men and money toward winning
the war for America. besides fur
nishing an essential war material
They insist that they are reputable
American business men, entitled to
their rights as citizens, even though

that they have been insultod so uni

with American officials that they Will
