DECLINE TRUCE
Several Thousand Attend the
Cooper Union Meeting, In
dOrSe Strike.
JEERS GREET O'CONN0R
Union President Hooted Be-
cause of His Proposal for
Resuming Work.
JEERS GREET O'CONNOR

In spite OF the plain language from
President T. V. O'Connor, who told
the men they had broken their pledged
word to the Government. the public
and the steamship lines. the 5000
local representatives Of the Interna-
tional Longshoremen's Association as
sembled in Cooper Union last night
and voted down a proposal to return
| to work pending a resubmission of
their demands to the National Wage
Adjustment Commission.
O'Connor. who was quoted several
days ago as saying the strike was the
work of an I. w. W. element in the
, locals at this port and who has be-
come exceedingly unpopular in conse-
quence with both the radical and con-
servative members, had a hard time
getting a hearing. Shortly after the
meeting began he rose to speak. but
the combination of booing on the part
of his opponents and the cheering
with which his friends among the del
egates tried to drown the vocal dis
approval of the opposition was too
much for him, and after ten minutes
Intellectual effort to restore quiet he
retired tc his seat.
After Hugh Frayne. general organ
| izer OF the A. +. OF l.. Ben Tillet, gen.
eral organizer OF the British Docker's 3
Union, and Richard Butler OF Local $50
had spoken O'Connor made another at
tempt to be heard and this time he was
successful. He explained in detail the
various steps by which the demands of
the men had been presented to the Ma
tional Commission and the pledge which
the organization had given that the
workers would respect the decision, and
declared that the pledge was not his
but that of the individual members of
the association. upon which they had
voted three separate times without a
single dissenting voice.

MEXICAN SUPREME COURT
 TO TAKE UP JENKINS CASE
Official Not from Mexico Lacks De- tails and the Attitude is Still
 Unchanged.

Washington, Dec. 10,-The Mexican supreme Court has assumed jurisdic- tion over the case of American Consul lar Agent w. o. Jenkins, the state de- i; partment was advised today by the
 American embassy at Mexico City. The message gave no details other than that the transfer of the case from the Puebla state courts had been made on motion of Jenkins counsel, and officials indicated that develop ments thus far had not been such as to cause any change in the American government attitude, as outlined in the recent sharp note to Mexico re- newing the request for Jenkins re- lease.
 No reply to that note has been re- ceived and administration officials make no effort to conceal their inn patience George Summerlin, the American charge at Mexico City, cab led the state department yesterday that the reply from Carranza was eX pected during the day, but so far as the department knew tonight, it had not been delivered.
 In refusing the original request of the United States that Jenkins be re- leased the Mexican government said the consular agents case was in the ,,,4r, Nf nhl lo which had charged him with giving false evidence in connection with his kidnapping by bandits and his subse- quent release on payment of $150,000 ransom, and that the executive depart ment was powerless to act.
 In it's reply the United States took the boston that under the new MeXi- can constitution, the federal supreme court alone had jurisdiction over cas- es of foreign diplomatic and consular representatives in Mexico. This also was the position of Jenkins. counsel in arguing the motion that his case
 be transferred to the supreme court. Jenkins was released from the Pue-
 bla penitentiary last Thursday on l. 900 pesos bond furnished by J. Salter
 Hansen and the state department was informed today that he had arrived in Mexico City from Puebla to confer
 with Charge Summerlin relative to his case. Jenkins investigation and that of the department into the circum- are under way. Meantime officials withhold comment on Hansen's state ment that in furnishing the bond he acted on his own initiative.
