FURTHER MEXICAN OUTRAGES
Oil Man in Tampico District Wanton-
Iy Claim by Carranza Soldier
KidnaPpers Kill captice.

Washington.-TWO more outrageS
against American citizens in Mexico
have come to the attention Of the
State Department, adding to the COM
plexities which seemed to force the
already tense Mexican situation to-
ward the breaking point.
In one case, an American citizen
was killed outright In the other, the.
victim died after being held for ran
som for months as result of brutal
treatment by his kidnappers.
There were no official pronounce
ments for the guidance of public opin-
ion as to what action, if any, the
American government might be con-
templating, but administration Off
Gals, by Indication, were willing to
show that the government is taking a
firm position, considering the eventu-
alities, and is prepared to deal with
them when its course is chosen.
Another Of ''the last straws," as one
official put it, was laid on the other
day when the official report of the
murder of James Wallace, an Amer
lean oil man, by a Carranza soldier
near Tampico recently, was received.
The State Department summarized
its adVices in this formal statement
James Wallace, an American en-
ployee of an American oil company
near TampicO, was murdered by
Mexican federal soldier at Potrero Del
LlanO Wednesday, November 26. The
murderer was not taken into custody.
According to the departments ad
vices, the officer in charge of troops
camped in the vicinity asserted Wal
ace had provoked the murder. The
department has been informed as a
result OF an investigation that a mule
on which Wallace was riding to the
place of his employment SHE'D at
machine gun which it was passing,
oVertuTning the gun.
The soldier Immediately shot Wal
lace, the bullet striking him in the
neck and killing him instantly.
The Wallace referred to is believed
here to be W. NJ. Wallace, an employee
of the Gulf Refining Company, famil-
iarly known to his associates as Jim"
Wallace recently went to Tampico al
ter having ben in Colombia for the
Gulf company. He is about 40 years
old.

Troops TO Pittsburg Mines Begins
Attempts at Sabotage.

Topeka-The movement Of the
troops and the volunteer coal work
ers into the southeastern Kansas coal
mining district has begun and the re-
ports indicated that everything would

shovel and at Arma a railroad spur
to deep mine was blown up.
On the four special trains there

GOVERNMENT MAY
ARREST STRIKERS
Federal Officials Prepare TO
Take Action Against Alleged
Injunction VioIators.
HAVE GATHERED THE EVIDENCE
Leaders of Union Miners as Well as
Members Liable for Contempt
Action 1t Is Indicated.

Indianapolis, Undetermined that
efforts to bring about resumption
OF operation OF coal mines through
offers Of Il per cent wage advance
TO miners have failed and that the in
junction issued by United States Dis
trict Judge Anderson against the
strike had been violated, the govern
ment has concluded to institute con-
tempt proceedings at once, it was in
dicated here recently.
Arrests Are Expected Soon.
Federal agents would make no state
ments as to when court action might
be expected but it is known that evil
dence has been collected against al
legged YioIators of the injunction and,
in well informed circles, it was con-
fidently expected that arrests would
be made within forty-eight hours
1t is understood that the govern
ment has delayed action in the hope
that some other way out Of the fuel
difficulty would be found.
Injunction Applies To All.
The injunction, as explained by
Judge Anderson, extends to individual
members, operators or other persons
who, in any way, encourage the strike
or interfere with production of coal.
Government attorneys, it is said, in
terpret this to mean that any state
ment made by miners, or any agree
ment between two OF more men to
continue on strike, constitutes a Tio-
lation of the injunction.
In "Cahoots to Bleed Public"
During the trial in federal court the
other day Alonzo NeWcomb, a coal
miner of Blanford, Ind, charged with
violation Of federal laws, in which the
latter declared that cit would be all
his life was worth to attempt to re-
turn to work" in the mines, Judge An
derson asserted that mine operators
and mine workers appear to be in
"cahoots to bleed the public"
A conference Of operators of strip
coal mines in the state with Gov.
James P. Goodrich recently was ad
journed without any plan for resuming
operations having been evolved. Gov
ernor Goodrich announced that an
other meeting would be held to consid-
er this subject.

GOVEREORS CONFER on GOAL
Seven State Executives in Session at
Chicago to Use Every Means
to Produce Fuel.

Chicago.-GoFeTnOrs OF seven SoIt
coal producing states at conference
here agreed that the state govern
ments should take 'an possible" steps
to obtain the production Of coal and
recommend 10 the federal government
that a complete fuel administration
with an administrator for each state
recommended by the government be
perfected Immediately. The state
executives also requested equitable
distribution of coal under uniform and
rigid regulations in all states
The governors participating in the
conference, called by Governor Fred
erick D. Gardener, Of Missouri, an
nounced that they had adjourned to
meet IN St. Louis next Sunday to
await the further development OF the
federal governments plans for bring
ing about resumption Of production Of
coal Miles C. Riley Of Madison, Wis,
secretary OF the conference, was in
structed to proceed to Washington to
remain there temporarily as the gov
errors representative and Ito present
to the authorities the seriousness Of
the situation in the states"
Attending the conference we're Gov
errors Frank o. Lowden, Illinois,
James P. Goodrich, Indiana; W. L.
Harding, Iowa; Gardner, Missouri;
Robertson, Oklahoma; A H Roberts,
Tennessee, and Attorney General R. J.
Hopkins of Kansas, representing Gov
ernor Henry J. Allen.
The state executives were in agree
ment that their states faced a serious
shortage Of coal and that only the ut
most conservation Of all fuel and the
most rigidIy supervised distribu-
ton would prevent suffering of the
people and disaster to industry
The governors were unanimous that
the fuel administration organization
should be perfected to provide more
absolute charge OF coal reserves and
distribution through state admins
traitors named by the state executives
themselves. Their conference got IN
der way before noon Although not
all of the conferees had arrived, the
sessions were executive, and it was
not until late in the afternoon that
the conference broke up and issued q
public statement.
Governor Gardner, following the
conference, said it was the sentiment
Of the conference that the governors
should use every effort to have the
state governments meet the coal stu
alton in their commonwealths- It was
desired to cooperate with the federal
government, and until the government
had further time to put its plans for
increasing production into effect no
further action by the governors con-
ference would be taken, until the
meeting one week hence in St. Louis.

GARFIELD ISSUES
ACALL TO NATION
New Restrictions on the Use of
Coal More Drastic Than
Those of War Time.
MANY INDUSTRIES TO CLOSE
Only Transportation Agencies, Insti-
tutions, Utilities and Household
ers Will be Supplied Fuel.

Washington.-C Calling on the nation
to show a determination to endure
privation and discomfort until coal
mining is resumed on its terms, the
government announced restrictions on
the use of coal more sweeping than
any in effect during the war.
Widespread closing down of indus
tries will be a result of the new or
ders-but there will be no compro-
mise with the miners.
Only Essential to Consumers.
DIR. H. A. Garfield, the fuel admins
traitor, acting in conjunction with the
railroad administration, gave notice
that hereafter only the essential con-
sumers included in the first five
classes on the war priCrities list
would be supplied with coal The
help of all state and municipal author
tiles was asked to make the ratiOning
effective
Under the new order, coal will be
supplied only to the following:
Transportation agencies, including
railroads and inland and coastwise
shipping.
Federal and local government insti-
tutions and establishments.
Industries working on government
contracts.
Public utilities, including news
papers.
Retail dealers, who are to supply
househOlders.
Railroad administration officials
conceded that the order meant wide
spread cessation of industrial oper
ations, only justified by the gravity
of the situation.
A Check on Public Utilities.
sit is necessary that coal shall be
used only for essential purposes DIR.
Garfield said in giving public notifi-
cation of the step. Public utilities
consuming coal should discontinue to
furnish power, heat and light to non
essential Industries and should con-
sumo only sufficient coal to produce
enough light, power and heat to meet
the actual, urgent needs Of the people.
Advertising signs and displays of va
rious kinds necessitating the use of
coal should be curtailed and no coal
should be distributed for such pur-
poses.
Officials said the terms Of the order
as given were framed to allow the
greatest possible variation in local ar
rangements, so that emergencies could
be met by action best suited to that
result. Industrial establishments op-
Grating their own power plants will be
forced to shut down when the present
supplies are exhausted, while the OPP
erations of those whose power is sup
piled from public utility plants will be
curtailed or continued in the discre-
ton of local agencies and officials.
DR.. Garfield noted further that the
government would be glad to leave
supervision and control of distribu-
ton by retail dealers entirely to any
state, county or municipality which
may make provision therefor"
