WANT u. S. TO RUN
LINES TWO YEARS
Organized Railway Workers
Desire Fair Test" Of Gov
ernment Operation
OPPOSE ANTI-STRIKE LAWS
by the Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 30.-Organizcd
railway workers placed themselves on
record at a conference last night AS OPP
posed to legislation designed to prevent
strikes of railroad employees and as ia =
voring government control OF the lines
for at least two years.
The conference, called by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor, was attended by
representatives of the four big railway
brotherhoods and heads of the ten shop
mcn's organizations affiliated with tho
federation.
The parliamentary situation of the
Cummins and Esch railway bills was
the chief topic under discussion. Among
the conclusion reached by the confer
enCo were that the penalty clauses in
pending legislation on railroads against
employees quitting work should be elm
mated and that government control over
the roads should not be relinquished for
at least two years in order that proper
test of federal operations might be
made. Opportunity for fair demon
stratiou was not afforded during the war
period, the Confcrees declared. The
conference also favored the provisions
of the bills which would establish bet o
ter relations between the employees aud
carriers.
At the same time the labor officials
were discussing the railroad bills Sen
ate and House conferees were in scs-
sion in an effort to harmonize the two
measures. The provisions dealing with
the regulation of railway securities were
discussed, but no definite decisions were
reached

RIDICULOUS, SAYS LANSING
RH the Associated Press

Mexico City, Dec. 30.-The Supreme
Court has decided that William O. Jen-
kins, American consular agent Mt
Puebla, who was arrested some time
ago in Pueba, shall be tried before the
Federal Circuit Court instead of by
the Puebla State District Court
This is considered a preliminary vic.
tory for Mr.. jenkins, whose counsel
had alleged that an impartial hearing
was impossible in the state court.
Washington, Dec. 3O.-(By A. P.)--
Reports alleged to have been circulated
early this month in New York by the
Mexican consulate there that "Presi-
dent Wilson or Secretary Lansing paid
the necessary bail money to have the
American consular agent, W. o. Jen-
kins, released from the Puebla Jail"
will be investigated by the Senate for
eign relations subcommittee inquiring
into Mexican affairs. it was announced
here last night by Francis J. Kearful,
counsel for the subcommittee.
In connection with the alleged re-
ports, which Mr.. Kearful said had been
called to the attention of Chairman
Fall by "a correspondent in New
York. it was announced that Rafael
Nieto, subsecretary of finance under
President Carranza, and Emilano I,o-
peg Figueroa and Rafael MARTINEZ Car
rillo. Mexican attorneys in New York,
would be subpoenaed by the subcom-
mittee.
Hieto and Figueroa, the Correspond
ent" charged, concocted a story. cir
culated about New York and connecting
Secretary Lansing and President VIII
son with j. Salter Hansen, who fur
nished the bail for Jenkins's release
from jail.
Secretary Lansing. when his attep-
tion was called to the reports, declared
the whole story was absolutely ridicu
lous.'
The secretary, in commenting on an
other alleged Mexican consulate rpnort
that he had conferred with Hansen he
fore theTlatter left for Mexico, said he
did not know Hansen and had not even
heard of him until reports to the State
Department carried the information
that it was he who had furnished len
kins's bail.

The information was secured from
Fred Hugo, the American who was
kidnapped, and other residents of the
town.
According to the informants, Villa
had approximately 1000 men and re-
mained in possession of the town three
days. A force of Carranza troops of
unknown strength appeared southwest
of the town, observed the rebels for
some time and then left without chal-
lenging the raiders.
