 'SThe last paragraph of the note which I nm answering and which insists on demanding the imme- diate release of Jenkins is based is fOunded-On the belief of the American government that the charge of false testimony against Jenkins is unfOunded. Neverthe- less, the belief of the American government in the innocence of Jenkins is not sufficient, accord ing to Mexican laws, to establish such innocence and avoid legal consequences; and the Mexican government cannot accept this point of view as a sound base to remove a foreign citiDen from the
 Jurisdiction of Mexican tribunals.

MINERS ANXIOUS
 TO RESUME WORK
BY HOLLAND

New York December 16.--With such eagerness have the bituminous coal miners or the greater part of them rushed to take up the pick-axe in order to resume work in the mines that it is now recognized that excellent foun- dation existed for the reports that reached New York which reported a great majority of the coal miners were anxious that the strike be ended. It is also beleived that a good lesson has been learned not only by the miners but by the operators and all interes- ted in the bituminous coal industry. that the miners accept the proffered advance in wages and immediately re- turn to work, with the understanding that a strong commission will be ap- pointed to make investigations into the entire situation will be followed after the report of this commission by the appointment of another organization which will be constituted with perma- nent authority for the settlement of disputes and the reaching of agreement between operators and miners.
 If this be done, and the surmise is strong that an arrangemen of this kind will be adopted it is likely as far as possible to resemble the committee
 
 longed strike by the bituminous coal miners
 The committee consisted of competent representatives of the miners chosen by themselves and in addition repre- sentative of the operators supplement- ed by representatives of the coal carry ing railroad companies. When this com mttee was organized some incred- ulity prevailed about it's success. The miners were represented by intelligent men who had the confidence of the miners and were familiar with all the conditions appertaining to the digging of coal and the reasonable wages for service of that kind The operators who served upon this committee were able men familiar with every feature of bituminous coal mining. The rail- | road companies made choice of men whose Judgement was good and who were of recognized ability and also fair minded In little while incred- ulity was ended. This committee fully served it purpose When the occasion arose meetings of the committee were held. All the members gathered around | the table with the understanding that there was perfect equality. In the dis cussions which followed the men who represented the miners held their own and as a result were highly respected by their associate members of the com mlttee. All differences were thrashed out Reasonable compromises were rached and there followed a term of

on the automobile shortage he quotes
the figures of production for the last
few years: Previous, to 1917 there
was an increase of 40 per cent an
nually in the production and sale of
motor cars. In 1917 there were l.
100000 cars built. In 1918, owing to
war restrictions, only 100000 cars
were produced, or 100000 less than in
the previous year. In the first six
months Of 1919 about 100000 cars
were built and sold.
Therefore. July 1 the market was
100000 cars short Of the demand. 1t
is not likely that the manufacturers
will be able to catch up with the
demand for eighteen months to come"
The registration records to which
he calls the attention of motorists
show that Ohio, with a registration
of 464.S26, has passed New York with
436,932, giving the middle western
state a majority of 1884. Striking
increases in percentages are also
shown in the south. Tennessee, with
an increase of 20 per cent in automo-
bile registration. shows the great
est gain. Alabama, Louisiana,
Georgia and Kentucky also show
marked gains, having increased 19, IT,
16 and IA per cent. respectively.
There is now an average of one
motor vehicle for each nineteen per-
sons in the United States. The total
registration for the first half of the
present year is 6.353,233, a gain of
nearly half million cars for the
same period of last year. In this Pc
riod Ohio was able to forge ahead
of New York by an increased regis
tration of $500.
