plain matters to him, but a report
embodying' the views Of the two SEN
ators will be made to the full COM
mittee.
Feel Importanee.
Because Of the importance Of the
Mexican situation, the committee felt
IL should consult with the President.
II was explained last plight that the
inability of the subcommittee to see
the President and talk things over
with him would leave Congress free
to act within its own discretion In
the entire matter.
Secretary Lansing, while before the
Foreign Relations Committee. was un-
willing to give his entire approval to
the resolution requesting the -Presi-
dent to "disown" Carranza and break
relations with the Mexican govern
ment. He did not know whether or
not he would be able to see the Presi-
dent on the matter.
He also thought that the adoption
of the resolution att this time might
endanger the lives of the 1O,OO0 odd
American citizens who are now in
Mexico.
Tells of Evidence.
Ambassador Fletcher was able to
give the Senators a "close up of
Mexican justice. The State Depart
ment, according to his story before
the committee, has apparently re-
ceived the following authentic ver-
sion of how the "evidence"' was col
lected against Consul Jenkins:
A party of officials of the state Of
Puebla went to Jenkins hacienda,
which is near the city OF Puebla, and
there gathered ten Of his peon work
ers in one room.
The spokesmen OF the Mexican o.
ficials then asked the poems II Mr..
Jenkins was not at the hacienda sew
eral days before with Federico Cor
dova, the bandit chieftain. who ab-
Quoted him.
NO" said the poems in unison. "he
was not"
"Sure?" questioned the official.
Yes" said the poems.
Used New Method.
Thereupon one of the workers was
chosen from the group and led outside
the building His companions within
heard a single shot. and the officials
returned in a minute-but the tenth
peon was not with them.
Now, then" said the spokesman.
addressing the other nine. you are
sure you did not see Jenkins here last
Monday with Cordova."
mo. we did not" was the reply.
Another peon was chosen, another
shot was fired-and then there were
eight in the room.
BY this time the lines were begin
ming to waver, but the question again
drew a negative reply.
A third worker was taken from the
room, and a third shot sounded-and
then there were seven.
Now then" said the returning
group of officials. this is the last time
we are going to ask you whether or
not you saw jenkins here last Mon
day with the bandit Cordova."
"Sure!" exclaimed the seven poems
in unison. We all saw him. We're
positive CT it."
And their derositions were accord
lngly taken down. Jenkins is in Jail
on this kind of evidence"
Pending the visit of the subcom-
mittee to the President there will
be. of course. no further action in
the Mexican situation. Both the War
and Navy departments, though, are
"on their toes" for any eventuality.
With a portion of the Pacific feet
in San Diego at the present time,
and the Atlantic fleet ready to move
at quick notice. the naval forces of
the American government are in bet
ter shape and hold more strategic
positions than they have at any time
in the past with respect to Mexico.

The Gulf Within Labor
lFrom We NeW lork Trlbune.l J

Perhaps the most astonishing feature
Of the steel strike TO the outside world
was the speed with which the gulf be-
tween skilled labor, largely American,
and unskilled labor largely alien de-
Veloped. That we had an "srtistOcracy
of labor in this country whose inter
esis inevitably belonged with the capt.
talists and the middle classes was an
Old assertion of investigators. There
was little realization, however that
thls potential cleavage coincided with
The line between Americans and aliens
which is to say, between digested and
undigested immigration.
In The Times Review Of Sunday there
was a citation Of steel strike comment
from the radical labor press of the
country which showed that these radi-
cal elements knew Of this cleavage and
welcomed it. The New York Call was
one of the loudest TO treat the line-up
between American and alien labor as
inevitable and overdue. It accused the
American skilled laborer Of keeping the
allen lab0rer down among the unskill-
ed. IL gave alien labor the credit OF
leading strikes and other campaigns for
better labor conditions in America. Tile
sense Of class consciousness of alien as
against American was plain throughout.
