ing Munitions to Car

ment, it was learned today. repre-
seutatives of the various American
oil companies with property in Mexico
met here this week and drafted a
memorandum replying to charges
made in a recent note presented at the
department by ambassador Bonillas-
The ambassador intimated in his note
that the numerous payroll robberles
were perpetrated by the paymasters
themselves.
The paymasters Of the companies
are all known men of long association
with the companies" said the memo
randum replying &c this charge. and
would not be serving as paymaster
unless the companies had thorough
confidence in their personal honesty
The belief Of all the representatives
is absolute that tie insinuation con-
tanned in the note from the Mexican
embassy is entirely unjustified in
fact"
The memorandum also asserts that
until the coming Of Carrancista cam
raign into the oil country there was
not a single case Of assault. assassi-
nation. robbery or even insult to any
employee of any American company by
their inhabitants OF the oil producing
region"
The statement in the Mexican note,
made public Thursday. that the gov
eminent had promised TO reimburse
companies for funds stolen from pay
masters escorted by CarranZa guards.
the oil COMPANIES contend was worded
very vaguely and contained no direct
obligation to refund stolen funds.
