MEXICAN TREASURY LOOTED
Newspapers and Citizens of Capital
Shocked by Reported Shortage
of Is Million Dollars.

Washington.-The discovery OF a
shortage of Isl, 514,476 pesos in the
accounts Of the comptroIler's office in
Mexico for the year 1918 has created
sensation in the Mexican capital,
said adVices reaching Washington
recently. The comptrolIer's report,
which has just been made pub
lie in Mexico City, announces the
shortage under the head of funds un-
accounted for" which covers amounts
owed by all of those handling govern-
ment funds, specifying embezzle-
ments and failure TO supply proper
vouchers for expenditures. No trace
can be found Of this amount, which
in American gold would be more than
IS million dollars, the report says,
since no vouchers or documents Of
any kind showing authorization for
the disbursements are in existence.

The GOVERNMENT
ISSUES WARNING
Attorney General Gives Out a
Statement in Reply to Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
TO ENFORCE COURTS ORDER
Palmer Declares Resolutions of Or
ganfzations Not Above Law
Presidents Offer Still Open.

Washington = Warning has been
given the United Miners OF America
by Attorney General Palmer that res
olutions OF conventions and orders OF
officers of organizations are not
above the law
Final declaration of the govern
ment's policy Of dealing with the
coal strike was announced by the at
torney general, while officers of the
miners organization at Indianapolis
were struggling with the question how
to answer the courts command to
rescind the strike order.
VIII Enforce Mandate.
Describing the strike as violation
of a federal statute, Mr.. Palmer,
speaking with full authority of the
government, announced that all the
power of the United States would be
exerted to enforce the mandate of the
court.
Although no reference was made In
the attorney generals statement to
the announcement of organized labor,
supporting the miners and demanding
withdrawal of injunction proceedings,
it was evident that Mr. Palmer had
that document in mind, and official
Washington accepted his declaration
to mean that refusal Of the miners
to cancel their strike order would
mean fight to the end
Admits Situation Is Grave.
There was no attempt in official
or labor circles to conceal the feel
ing that the situation was grave and
getting beyond the question of coal
strike. This was due to the belief
that the miners apparently were not
OF one mind on the question Of max
ing quick reply to the court.
All day word from the Indianapo-
lis meeting was awaited with anxiety.
Some labor leaders had predicted that
the mandatory order would not be
complied with and that the strike or
der would stand until passed upon
by the same delegate convention
which arbitrarily fixed the date for
the nationwide walkout, unless spe-
cific demands were granted by No
Yember l.
The action of the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
unfolding the strike, pledging support
to the strikers and denouncing the
governments injunction suit, was va
riousiy interpreted. While officers Of
the federation refused to add one word
by way Of explanation or interpret
it's meaning, in view Of the feeling
in some quarters that it was designed
to back up the strikers, it was at
tackled on the floor of the senate and
emphasized there that under the Food
Control Law injunctions could be
legally issued against strikers inter
rupting the nations foor Or fuel

FEDERATION DEFIES COURTS
Executive Council Promises to Back
Striking Coal Miners Against Judge
Anderson's Drastic Order.

Washington.-aolding that the &C
ton of the government Injunction pro
ceedings against striking bituminous
coal miners to be $50 autocratic as
20 stagger the human mind" the ex-
ecutive council OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor declared in a state
ment, after q four-hour meeting, that
the miners Ealkout was justified,
promised for the strike the entire sup
port organized labor and asked aid
and Endorsement for it from the gen.
eraI public.
The Lever Act, under which the
government acted in the court pro-
ceedings, never was enacted to apply
to workers, the council asserted, and
its use against the miners was
classed as IAN injustice not only to
workers, but to all liberty-ioving
Americans" The action was taken
without the participation of William
Green. general secretary of the Mine
Workers, who is a member, but all
the remaining principal officers OF the
A F. of l., were present
Indianapolis, INSTRUMENTATION Of
the strike order, which. since mid
night Of October 81, has kept 100000
union bituminous miners out Of the
coal pits OF the country, was ordered
by Judge A. B. Anderson in the fed
eral district court here.
Violation of the wartime federal
food and fuel control act, as alleged
by the attorney generals depart
ment, was affirmed by the court, who
said that the strike was not only
illegal, but under the circumstances it
approached rebellion
Unless the union leaders choose to
defy the court-and there was no in
6ication of any such intention--they
can move only towards ending the big
walkout. The courts order was so
gorded that failure to cancel the
strike call OF any affirmative word
or action tending to laid and abet'
the continuance Of the strike would
make them violators Of the injunction,
and in contempt OF court.

the most dangerous anarchist agita-
tors in the country, were arrested the
other night by department of justice

lie and after they had been taken to
headquarters of the Department of
Justice and cross-examined, fifty were
held for deportation as undesirable
aliens
Eight women were taken in the raid
of whom two were held for deporta-
ton.
The raid was made by seven agents
of the Department of Justice, under
the direction Of Mr.. Flynn. They
were assisted by five members of the
New York bomb squad" and four
patrolmen.
The patrol wagons made several
trips to the building to take those
who were caught in the raid A big
crowd gathered in front of the build
ing, and when the last man was taken
away it was necessary for the police
to drive the spectators back
Patrolmen were assigned to watch
the building during the night.
While the men were being exam
med reports were received of other
raids which were made on radicals
at other cities.

rants had been issued by Commission
er General of immigration Caminetti

ticularly active in the industrial un-
rest of the country. 1t was reported

ularly sought. had been caught. They
were taken to police headquarters.
The raids, taking place on the eve
OF widely advertised celebrations of
the second anniversary of the estab-
lishment OF the soviet government in
Russia, were said to have nipped in
the bud a country wide plot openly
