Posters Urge Mexico to
ForestaIl Intervention

Washington, Sept. 27.-AIfredo Ro-
pies Dominguez, a Mexican engineer,
has written and had posted through
out the republic a call to the Mexi-
can people to settle their differences
and establish a responsible govern
ment so as to forestall Intervention
by the United States. The poster
cited the reply of United States SEN
ator Fail, chairman of the senate
committee investigating Mexican re-
lations, to an inquiry from a Mexico
City newspaper asking for an ex-
preston OF opinion regarding the So
luton or the Mexican situation. Sen
ator ran says each member of his
committee hoped Mexico could es
tabllsh government which would
comply with her international obli-
cations without intervention.
This paragraph was taken by Do
mlngueZ as text for his poster, in
which he said Senator Falls renIv
meant the American senate no longer
took into account the present Mexi-
can government and that the Mexi-
can people should take matters in
hand and create a provisional gov
ernment.
Domlnguez is said to have a large
following, although the onrv. office he
ever held was that giving him charge

Summary of
Strike Situation
(By Associated Press.) J


The first week of the great
steel strike ended today with the
situation a virtual deadlock while
both sides waited with keen an
ticipation for Monday, when A.
crucial test will be afforded of
the claims of the opponents re-
spective strengths. Steel COM
pany officials professed the full
est confidence that the opening
OF another working week would
see such defections in the ranks
of the strikers that the back of
the unions resistance would be
broken. Leaders of the strikers
were equally optimistic in their
predictions that the ranks of
their followers would not be Sc
riously preached.
In the meantime the strike
generals were neglecting no eff
fort to strengthen their position
in anticipation of the coming
test. Mass meetings were held
today and will be continued to-
morrow throughout the Pitts
burgh district, the strategic GEN.
ter of the battlefield, and union
organizers strove INCREASINGLY to
gain new recruits and fcrtify the
resolution of their existing
forces.
On the other hand, steel off,
cials in the Chicago district con-
tinued their claims that iAcreas-
ing numbers of men were re-
turning to work. and announced
the reopening of more mills at
Gary.
As far as the threatened strike
of the 10000 workers in the
plants of the Bethlehem Steel
corporation is concerned, there Is
no definite change In the situa-
ton. Neither side has given any
intimation OF yielding and the
union leaders are continuing
their preparations for calling out
the men Monday.
Rumors of the pending spread
of the strike to allied Industries
continue. but without definite ba-
sis to form conclusion. A mass
meeting of members of the rail-
road brotherhood has been an
nounced at Youngstown for to-
morrow, but the purpose of the
meeting Is not stated.

gee, was demanding that we report
out the treaty. Then when it was
ihtimated that we were proposing
reservations there was a clamor from
people who said this would wreck

abandon the only chance it had o.
amending the treaty.
