Will Not Modify Call
For Wdlkout of Miners
Miners Reply to Set
Forth Five Points

Indianapolis, Oct. 29.--The reply to
President Wilson's plea embodied In
the statement to the public" may be
based on five points, it was forecast
at the hour of adjournment. II was
believed that the answer will follow
closely these lines:
/. The president Isl iii advised as
to the existence of wage contract,
the miners contending that the
Washingtom agreement expired Nov.
IL, armistice day, last year.
2. The president occupies two po-
sitions--one for labor and one for
capitalstic liquor interests. The
miners base this assertion on the
presidents action In vetoing the pro-
hibition enforcement law.
3. The operators have never Of
fered constructive suggestion upon
which to base an agreement.
4. The president is wrong when
he states that the rank and file of
the miners" are not backing tho
strike plan.
S. The miners cannot live on the
present scale, and 1t is right and
lawful to fight for existence"
: The committee named to frame the
Statement to the public is com
posed of William Green, international
secretary. and the following district
presidents: Phil Murray, Pittsburgh; !;
John Moore, Columbus, o.; Edward
Stewart, Terre Haute, and Frank
Harrington, Springfield, Ill. The
statement, which 1t was intended
should explain just where the miners
stand. will be adopted without radi-
cal change, it was forecast.
Should the conference conclude its
business tonight, the executive board
will hold a separate meeting tomor-
row, it was said. The question
whether or not the board could OF
would take any action tomorrow tc
revoke any decision of the conference
as whole was not discussed at to-
days meeting, it was said.

CARRANzA May TRY
FOR REELECTION
Mexico City Dispatches to La
Prensa Say Party is
Now Forming.

Venustiano CarranZa will wage n
campaign for his reelection to the
presidency, according to dispatches
from Mexico City to La Prensa Of
San Antonio. The dispatches say that
the official party has been formed
for the campaign before the Novem-
ber election and that neither General
Alvaro Obregon nor General Pablo
Gonzales will be the Constitutional
ist candidate.
This movement TO reelect CarranZa
seems to have started not in Mexico
City but in some Of the states Of the
center and north Of Mexico. The
plan is to unity the greatest possible
number of political units who have
not already declared for Obrcgon or
Gonzales and have them in a great
convention select prominent man
to wait upon the First Chief and beg
his permission to make a campaign
for his reelection.
The dispatches 90 one to predict
further bloodshed. such rs has follow
ed gubnatorial elections in Nuevo
Leon and other states. if a race Il
made by Obregon and Gonzales for
the presidency. The tendency is to
regard Carranza rs a candidate who
would be acceptable to both factions
and whose nomination would avoid
an election marked with bloody riots
and possible civil war.

WAR SAVINGS WORK
WILL LBECONTINUED
Need and Value Of Saving
Will be Kept Before
the Public.

War savings have helped materially
to pay for the war But if they have
done nothing more than educate the
younger element, the rising genera
tion, to save its. dimes and quarters
they have accomplished the education
Of the nation for it, future prosper
ity, and they have helped Kill the
seeds Of unrest that might have grown
ike weeds to choke the welfare of the
country.
T. >. Comings, territorial savings
advisor for the Eleventh War Loan
district, told the Rotary Club III
Brownsville this at its weekly lunch
con Wednesday at noon. lie added
that the war savings campaign will b.
|c0ntiaueti Ter the coming yeas. with
less insistcnce than in the past, but
with constant effort To remind peo-
pie of the need to save and the bene-
fits of saving.
Mr.. Comings asked the Rotary Club

he Is already a convert TO the future

local men. Mr.. Comings, who has
travelled widely III this and allied lines
of work, told the Rotarians that he
expected to see a city of from 3OO,-
900 to 100000 people on the site of
Brownsville within ten years after
the coming Of peace to Mexico and
the opening Of the deep water chan
mel at Point Isabel. He outlined log
ically his reasons for making this pre-
diction.
Mr.. Comings knows, through "A four
years resident III the Tampico dis
trict Of Mexico. exactly how rich the
country to the south Of Brownsville
is in undeveloped resources. He has
now seen the Lower Rio Grande Val
ley on the Texas side. Linking nh the
factors together ~ can see that "a
city larger than Los Angeles might
grow on the site of Brownsville.
What you need here is more of
the kind Of people who pushed Cali

advantages than California had ID
start with. If you get the CaIifor-
