TO STOP VILLA REPRISALS
"Watchful Waiting" Policy Has Beer
Changed to "WatchfuI
Preparedness"

washington. = Recent develop
ments along the southern border ana
within Mexico itself, have brought a
radical change in the attitude of this
government towards Mexico. 1t can
be stated on positive authority that
''watchful waiting" has been discard,
ed for "watchful preparedness"
The war department has perfected
plans to throw a punitive expedition
of adequate strength across the Rio
Grande the moment official word is
received of reprisals on the part of
Villa for the Juarez incident, or in
case of other contingencies tending to
bring the Mexican situation again to
a stage approaching the crisis of last
Sunday. Orders for the advance of
this column, however, it was said
would be accompanied by instruction
for the military occupation of terri
tory necessary to insure the safety of
the expedition and absolute protection
of the border through the creating of
a neutral zone south of the line.
Further movement of the expedi-
ton would depend entirely on subse.
quent developments.

Atlantic City, n. J.-Samuel Com
pers was reelected president of the
American Federation of Labor at the

was voted a salary of $4,000 a year.
One radical voted against the re-elec-
ton of Mr. Gompers and a handful
of delegates sat in their chairs while
the rest staged a demonstration in
honor of their leader. who said his
election was organized labor's answer
to its traducers and opponents.
Second in Importance was adoption
of a resolution directing the executive
council to investigate and take action
in regard TO a joint resolution now

CONGRESS To END

SHOWDOWN.
TN EFFECT NEXT OCTOBER
Goes Through AS Rider on agricuI-
turai Appropriation BIl-All
Labor and Farmers
Pleased.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the daylight
saving, inaugurated as a war measure,
was pronounced by congress, both
senate and house adopting by over
whelming vote measures to terminate
operation of the law when the period
of summer time ends next October.
The house. following three hours
debate. by a vote of 233 to 1872. passed
bill to repeal the law on the last
Sunday in next October, but rejected
an amendment to make the repeal eff
fectiye at once.
The senate, by vote of f;fty-siX to
six, after brief discussion. added a
rider to the agricultural appropriation
bill providing for repeal of the day
light bill on the same date fixed by
the house bill.
The senate measure now goes to
conference with the agricultural bill.
and the house bill is to be sent to the
senate. 1t is considered likely the
senate amendment will be finally sub
stituted for the house measure. Ac-
ton of congress therefore means con-
tinuation of the present clock time
this summer and early fall with re-
turn to sun time Oct 90. ending two
years operation of the daylight saw
ing plan.
