Demand for Union Shop -

chicago, July 1O.-NlneLy deputy
sherjffs were taken into the Corn Prod:
ucts Refining company plant at Argo,
southwestern suburb, in anticipa'
ton of a repetition Of the outbreak
there, in which two alleged strikers
were shot and killed and so persons
injured.
The plant has been closed down and
it is said no attempt will be made to
resume operations for several days.
More than $50 shots were fred III
the battle, the guards relying chiefly
on their rifles. Eye witnesses say the
strikers appeared to- be armed chiefly
with clubs and rocks. None OF the
guards was wounded by bullets, So far
as known.
$50 Refuse to Strike.
The shooting was the climax of a
day of tension for the village of Argo
where employees who had been recent
ly organized by the Federal union, an
auxiliary OF the international Union of
United Brewers, Flour, Cereal and
Soft Drink Workers, declared strike,
in effect, to enforce demands for a
closed shop.
About $50 girls and 200 men, who
had refused to join the walkout, re.
NAMED at the plant. Federal union
officials said 1900 of the company's
$500 employees were organized. Com
pany officials say only 900 were or
gani7ed.
Some 1000 of the employees hired a
band and Iparaded through the streets
of Argo, waving American flags and
wearing buttons on which were in
scribed "The Argo Labor Union" and
underneath, 1.-THE Chicago Federation
of Labor" After the parade they as
sembled about the entrance to the
plant, a massive stone gateway, sur
mounting 10 foot fence of boards
and barbed wire.
Nurse In Car Attacked.
They cOntented themselves for some
time with picketing the fence. Miss
Elizabeth Morgan, official nurse for the
company, was seen driving toward the
plant in an automobile. The strikers
began throwing stones. The car had
an inolosed top. All the windows were
broken.
They surrounded the car and Miss
Horgan was subjected to taunts and
gfbes, she says. Some of the strikers
had assumed menacing attitudes, &C.
cor1ing to witnesses, when Charles Jo
names, chief of the company's police
force, came to her assistance. He was
pelted with stones and suffered scalp
bruises, but conducted Miss Morgan
to safety.
A majority of the 1900 employees
of the company's plant at Pekin went
on strike when the time limit to &C.
cede to the demand for CLOSED OPP"
expired.
Troops Ordered to Be Ready.
If Sheriff Peters is unable to main
tain order at the plant. state troops
will be called out, according to Off

New York, July 10.-Opposition of
the American Federation of Labor to

Disputes over Oil Claims, Continued

+ and coas.a:::: Danger to Prop
erty Are Reasons.

Washington, July 10.-Within few
days Venustiana Carranza, first chief
Of Mexico, will be asked for an ac-
counting by the American government.
It is not expected that the account
ing will. be satisfactory and every in
dication points to the res,Tt that Car
rama must 60. AS a sequel to the
various acts CT Carraaza which have
ifritated the American government
ever since American recognition ais.
sured him of power, this government
has under consideration a showdown
with Mexico. y.
Trouble over the settlement of Mexi-
can oil claims, the continued anarchy
in Mexico, the recurring loss of life
and the constant danger Of property
has brought this result.
The attitude of Carranza in ignor-
ing the State. department. in the SET
Element Of oil claims a6d the estab-
ltshment Of special commission of
his own in New York for the settle
ment of these claims has been the
last straw.
DlsavoWa1 Is Issued.
The State department issued sharp
disavowal Of published advertise
ment in New York newspaper enti-
tied the *'Truth About Mexico" calling
attention of Americans to the Mexican
claims commission authorized by de-
crees of President Carranza Of Nov.
"a and Dec. "a, 1917, and suggesting
that all who have claims cognizable
by this commission should make appli.
cation at once for damages sustained
The inttmation in the advertisement
was that the American government
had approved this method of settling
the oil claims and this the State de-
partment tartly denies.
The statement followed an extended
conference of representatives of oil
interests in Mexico with Frank L.
Polk, acting secretary of state.
Willie definite course of action has
not yet been decided upon, one is un-
der consideration and it is thought
probable that it will be put into effect
within comparatively short time.
This program, it is understood, calls
for the occupation of Mexican ports as
the first step in the direction of set
Element with Carranza and future &C.
ton is to be determined by events.
