He said the adoption of such rescr-

GEN. ACER0
Local Officers Notified of
Roundup of Undesirables
at Mexicali; AcerO Never
Near Algodones, Accord
ing to Story Reported;
Notes Written.

Friends of Gen" Acero, exc
cuted at Mexicali last week for
being involved in the mutiny at
AlgOdOnes are threatening a rev.
OlutiOn at Mexicali, it was learn
ed today.
Several days ago Gov. Cantu receiv-
ed a threatening letter from sympa-
thizers of the executed man and this
morning it became known that each
member of the military court martial
has received a letter threatening his
life. The situation has once more be-
come tense at the border city.
From stories generally circulated, it
now appears that Refugio Acero, ring
leader of the revolutionists, was not
near Algodones at the time of the mu-
tiny there. 1t is said the cavalry ar
rested him and as it was not known
he was deeply interested in the at
tempted uprising, he was placed on
trial and found guilty ard executed.
This is reported to be the real reason
for the deep resentment in the hearts
of his friends.
The action taken by Cantu in order
ing roundup of all undesirables has
also evoked much feeling. 1t is esti-
mated that there are 200 of these men
in Baia California who will come I'M
der the ban.
United States Secret service men,
Department of Justice men, city po-
lice and county officers are said to
have been warned that an influx of un-
desirables from Mexicali may take
place at any time and that efforts
would be made to arrest and deport
all men crossing the line who are
classed as undesirables by this coun-
try.
With Gov. Cantu seeking to Dust the
agitators from Lower California and
Imperial county not relishing their ap-
pearance it seems that some interest
ing events will likely occur.

1t was decided that the chamber of

aid of the small chambers of commerce
between this city and San Diego will
be enlisted Individual members of the
local chamber will write letters and it
is hoped to secure the action desired

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 25.-"It
would be necessary to dig a grave
forty-eieht miles long to bury the men,
women and children killed by acct
dents in the United States during the
nineteen months of our participation
in the war with Germany" G. w.
Price, general manager of the nation
al safety council, told the American
institute of Meat Packers in convention
here yesterday.
Mr.. Price said that more than 2,000,-
600 men, women and children We're SO
seriously injured that they lost ovs,
four weeks of time or were permanent
ly manned and that the casualties
from accidents each year are twice as
great as were the casualties among the
United States soldiers, sailors and ma
rines during the war.
There never was a time when en-
ployers of labor and serious minded
citizens generally were waking up so
fast to realization of what this loss
means to industry and society" Mr..
Price said "The most significant fact
that stands out in ten years expert
ence in organized accident prevention
is that we have absolutely demonstra-
ed that we can eliminate three fourths
of all accidental deaths and serious
injury in industry. Not more than
one-third of this reduction can be
brought about by mechanical guards
and two-thirds must be brought about
by education and organization"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-
Even if the United States Steel
corporation should consent to meet
the representatives of the men in
the national strike of steel work.
ers, the strike could not be called
off, in the opinion Of John FitZ-
patrick, chairman of the strikers
committee, in testifying before
the opening of the Senate labor
committees investigation con-
corning the strike.
'Three hundred and fifty thousand
men who are striking are going to de-
mand from the United States Govern
ment justice and decent justice" said
Fitzpatrick.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick arrived late from
Pittsburg and hurried to the committee
room which was crowded with sena-
tors and representatives and others in
terested. He was accompanied by VIM
H. Rubin, counsel for the strikers.
Mr.. Rubin inquired what assurances
had been given by Judge Ebert H.
Gary of the United States Steel Cor
poration that he would appear before
the committee next Wednesday,. Sena-
tor Kesyon replied that Judge Gary
had telephoned that he would be pres
ent and added until that time we will
not question his being here"
Fitzpatrick reviewed labor cond-
tons in the steel industry. He said
with the creation of the United States
Steel col poration a campaign began to
push organized workers out of the
mills. He stated large campaign
fund had been appropriated.
The mills are operated at long hours
and poor pay, he avered and said the
American Federation Of Labor had I'M
tiated a move to organize the steel
workers because the steel industry was
a bad spot in the labor situation. He
related about unsuccessful efforts to
confer with Judge Gary.
MIR. Fitzpatrick said the representa-
tives of twenty-four international
unions affiliated with American Fed
Grafton of Labor met in Chicago with
the American Federation of Labor
about a year ago and effected cam
paign to organize steel workers.
"The men in the steel mills he
said, chad no hope although looking
for relief. They responded in large
numbers and in only a short time we
had a successful organization.
Conditions such as those prevailing
in the steel industry, he said, would
lead other large employers to consider
imposing similar conditions on en-
ployees so for the benefit of organized
workmen everywhere am organization
among the steel workers was consid-
cred essential by labor leaders.
