Big PowerS Are Watching
MEXICO Prepare Big Oil
Flat Affecting World Nauies

Fifty per cent of these fields are op-
Grated by American interests; 40 per
cent by British, and the remainder
by Dutch, French and Spanish, with
but a few small Mexican-owned wells.
The annual output is So, 900 900 bar
rels. valued at s90,0O0,00O in New
York.
Revenue to the Mexican government
last year was $1,000, 600.
New Carranza oil taxes remain un-
paid. Export taxes which originated
under Madero have been paid but
marked under protest"
Foreign Operators Cry is "Confisca-
ton"
! The cry of all the large oil opera
| tors is "Confscation."
Here are some of the facts I have
| gathered after exhaustive research,
which must be taken into account in
| connection with the charges of confis-
cation.
FL Aguila Gord Cowdray's English
| company fast year exported in 12
months over $4,000. 900 barrels from
Tuxpam and Tampico. besides local
sales. The gross profits were $29,-
117,100; net profits S14,S59, 900; or
binary dividends, 25 per cent, pre-
ferred receiving an additional eight
per cent. The figures are in Mexicon
gold~
Besides paying this enormous divi-
dend, FL Aguila doubled it's deprecia-
ton allowance and sextupled special
allocations."
Ad this company paid $1,SS7,510.O5
| export tax on its oil last ear Com
pare the taxes with net profits.
BY holding it's depreciation and spe-
cial ALLEGATIONS appropriations down
Ell Guila could have paid n dividend
of almost so per cent.

MEXICO CITY, May 2-Oii, Mex
ico's greatest source of national profit,
is also the source of her gravest inter-
national peril.
: 1t has kept Mexico out OF the pro-
posed league of nations.
Brought about the chief misunder-
standings between hat country and
ours.
Laid the foundation for interven-
ton propaganda.
Prevented England from accrediting a
minister to Mexico.
Caused France to table the creden-
tfals of Mexico's newly appointed min
lister, Alberto PAM.
Laid charges of Imperialism, pro-
Germanism and Bolshevism against
the CarranZa government, and fright
ened away outside financial assistance.
Withheld huge foreign investments
from Mexico, and melted smoldering
disquiet into open rebellions.
Thehe are some of the political
and economic shadows which the pc
troleum geysers cast against the hot
skies of Vera Cduz and neohfiiborCJ
skies of Vera Cruz and neighboring
states.

Crude craftsmanship to BE Remedied.
Somewhere between Mexico's hith-
erto crude craftsmanship regarding
her richest natural resource and the
rough-shod aggression of foreign oil
interests. American included, lies the
safe battle-ground of amity, prosper
fly for all and supply of the worlds
petroleum needs.
The Carranza government expects
to find and fix this battle-ground
TO pour its oil ON the troubled wat
ers, in justice both to national and
outside interests-at a special petro-
leum congress to be held in May.
Eyes will be turned from the peace
conference to watch Mexico's next
step-for the worlds navies and mer-
chantmen depend largely on her liq-

'STIRRATT WILL

Y DISCUSSIONS
Secretary of Local Association VIII
Lead in Hour and Half Talk
On Experiences.

o. ]. Stirratt, general secretary
of the Rock Island Y. M c. A., has
been asked to conduct an hour-and-
a-half discussion between general
secretaries of the state, at the
meeting of Illinois Y executives to
be held in Chicago on Sept. 1920.
The discussion will entail four or
five minute talks on experiences
that have benefited the secretary.
Mr.. Stirratt will open up the con-
ference with an experience of his
own and he has written to secre-
taries down state asking them to
be prepared for a short talk. These
stories will be told following the
12:45 noon luncheon of the con-
ferees on the first day of the con-
Yention.
Not At Starved Rock.
The state meeting was to have
been held at Starved Rock, from
Sept. 1922. The change was made
known to Mr.. Stirratt in a letter
this morning which said that be-
cause there is only one building, a
dancing pavilion in which any in
door session can be held and be-
cause authorities there can give no
assurance that the pavilion can be
used on those dates in case of in
clement weather, the place has
been changed. The meetings will
probably be held in the Association
college building in Chicago.

TWO HUSBANDS
CHARGED WITH
BEING BAD men
Gertrude Fettis Says That Baxter
Fettis Is Very Bad Niger When
Drunk-Wants Divorce.

Gertrude Fettis, colored, charges
that whenever Baxter Fettis, the
defendant, is drunk, he is a very
nasty niger" in suing for a di-
vorce from him.
Baxter uses the caveman type of
matrimonial felicity, and believes
that he, as the king, can do no
wrong. Cruelty has been the reg
ular thing in his actions toward his
wife, and twice he drove her from
home with threats of shooting her.
The couple was married Jan. 5,
1915, at Macon, Mo, and lived to-
gether here until Nov. 10, 1918.
Fred Brondel is charged with
adultery and cruelty. Selma Bron-
del, suing, names Alberta Moore.
She asks custody of their three
children, alimony, and the costs of
the suit. They were married in
Daenport, Nov. 20, 1907, living to-
gether until Aug. II, 1919.

BOSS PRINTERS
>AND FRESHMEN
DIFFER ASK So
Men Come Down 81 in Demand for
Wage Increase, But Still No
Settlement Made.

Arguments pro and con on the
question of higher wages for job
pressmen of the tri-cities at a
meeting of committees of the press
men and the boss. printers at the
Rock Island club yesterday after
noon, brought forth no new results,
only that the pressmen have agreed
that they would consider an So in
crease.
The bosses are firm in their
stand that they will not offer more
than a So a week advance in sal
aries. The pressmen have decided
to lower their demand from SO to
So per week, therby making the
minimum scale $38 per week.
Printers in the three cities are
paying their help more than any
other like concern within 400 miles
from here, outside of Chicago"
Henry Kramer, of the Kramer
Printing company, said today. 1--WE
have always paid higher than other
cities for miles around here. Our
printers are making $3120 and
their contract expires next March.
If we give the pressmen the So a
week increase, that alone would
make their minimum scale $3.50
more than that of the printers"
While the bosses were putting
these arguments up and those of
the higher cost of printing equip
ments and of the contracts they
now have on hand, the pressmen
were hurting statements of the
high cost of living and of what it
means for a workingman to live on
a $50 or S33 a week basis.
Contract Void.
Pressmen declare that the con-
@ract made four years ago and
watch provides for a sliding scale
effective until September of next
year, is in practice void, because
living conditions of four years ago
and those of today cannot be com
pared Boss printers declare that
the average pressman makes more
than the minimum wage and that
there is an understanding between
the two factions that after the min
imum scale is set. many of the men
are treated individually, taken ac-
cording to experience and effici-
ency.

BOYS DEPARTURE
AFTER THREAT is
BLOW TO PARENTS

You'll miss me after I'm gone,
all right" said Homer Dean to his
sister Thursday. Yesterday he left
his home and his family is unable
to trace his route IF departure.
Homer Dean, lately employed by
the Moline Pillow works and living
with HIS parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Claude Dean, at 1903 Fourteenth
street, has frequently in past
months tainted his family with
threats of going away" until they
became used to it and took his
statements as a joke. That is why
he was not missed at home yester-
day until long after his accustomed
time of returning from work, al
though he had taken an elaborate
leave with many "goodbyes" in the
morning. Today his mother is in
sad realization Of the fact that his
threats were partly in earnest, as
he certainly has disappeared
The lad, who is aged 16, but cas-
lily passes for IS, came home from
work at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and made a change of apparel.
He babe his mother goodbye and
went out of the door and down the
street. That was the last time he
was seen by any of the family.
They waited all through the night
but he failed to return and by this
morning Mr.. and Mrs. Dean felt
sure that the boy had really run
away. They Immediately wired to
several towns where they thought
it likely he might go, but the mes
sages were unavailing. No word
from or about him was received
today.
If he was going any distance he
would be forced to walk or bum
his way" on the trains, is his par
ents' opinion, since his wealth to-
tailed less than SO at the time Of
leaving 1t is not probable that he
would walk, because his compan-
ion in the adventure is a boy de-
Ecribed as having one artificial foot
which causes him to limp-the re-
suit of a former French leave" es-
capade of his own, during which
he fell beneath the wheels of
train he was stealing a ride upon.
When he left home, Homer was
wearing a green cap, light shirt,
dark trousers and had no coat. His
parents wish to know his where
abouts and desire his return, so
that any news along that line will
be appreciated. He may apply for
entrance to the navy, where his
true age will bar him

Enemy Propaganda
Flooding Congress

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Pro-
tests against the peace terms to Ger
many and criticisms of President
Wilson for having deceived" the
Germans are flooding congress. They
come from Chicago and are signed
by Fred Walther, President, and DR..
Gerhard, Secretary, of the German
american Citizens League. The
League carefully eliminates the n.y.
phen from it's title. 1t claims to COM
prise over seventy organizations of
voters.
Quoting phrases from the ,Presi-
dents speeches and referring to the
fourteen points, it says the "barba-
rian" peace treaty is the "exact re-
verse of what President Wilson has
promised the world" so that ''the
principals of true democracy have
been trampled upon" and the Ameri-
can people appear before the world
as hypocrites." 1t ends by asking con-
gress to withhold its sanction from
the treaty. Put into effect, it says,
the treaty would foster the germ of
a new war.
