Laz0S This Year
Senator de la Huerta Here
En- Route to His New
Post IN Sonora.

The Mexican senate wants TO meet
American oil operators half way and
to eliminate from the petroleum law
the points to which investors object.
according to Alberto de Ia Huerta, a
member Of the senate Of the Mexican
congress, who arrived in Ell Paso
Thursday night on his way to Hermo-
sillo TO assume his new duties as civil
governor Of the state Of Sonora He
said president Carranza would deliver
his message to congress September 1
and that it would deal largely with
the oil situation.
Senator de la Huerta declined 10
discuss his plans for the administra-
ton of Sonora, stating that before
outlining his course he desired to get
into touch with members Of the iegis-
lature and state officials.
Mexican labor leaders are trying to
interest Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation OF Labor, in
a movement to bring about closer re-
lations between American and Next
can labor, senator de Ia Huerta re-
ported. Such action, he predicted.
would result in more friendly rela-
tons between the two republics He
argued that punitive expeditions like
the one just made after the bandits

it was stated, will voice the views

government during the coming de-
bate on petroleum legislation in the
Mexican congress. Senior Cabrera
was quoted as declaring that the au-

eliminates the retroactive features,
which have been the chief points OBJ
jected TO as connscatory by foreign

Statement by Leon Salinas.
A statement was furnished the
Associated Press by Leon Salinas;
acting secretary of industry and
commerce, declaring that, judging
from press dispatches, recent state
ments by his department on the gov
ernment's stand in regard to the legal
aspects Of article p Of the constitu-
ton and president Carranza's pro-
posals Of last November had been
misinterpreted by the Oil Producers
association.
I have never said that the pro-
jected law would be retroactive in
effect he said, but I have said and
still maintain that I understand the
meaning Of the word retroactive TO
be very different than the construc-
ton placed upon it by the Oil Pro-
ducers' association The association
under the meaning it gives this word,
claims that laws are immutable and
that we have no right to change
them. even il the changes are in the
general interests. I cannot agree
