MEXICO CLAIMS RIGHT ID HOLD
 YANKEE AGENT

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 2S.-The Mexican government has despatched a note to Washington in which it is stated that it Is impossible for Mexi- co to accede to the demand of the American state department for the immediate release of Consular Agent Jenkins. who was placed under ar rest by the Mexican authorities sev- eral days ago. The note says there is no legal foundation nor principle of international law upon which to base a demand such as has been made by America
 It is claimed that the Mexican government cannot interfere be- cause of the fact that the Jenkins affair Is now in the hands of the Mexican state courts The impris- onment, the note says, was helLneF unjustifed nor arbitrary, and jus ,tice has not been denied the con- sular agent, who refused to take advantage of his right to obtain bail. The note expresses the belief that diplomatic relations and friendship between America and Mexico cannot be affected unfavorably by the re fusal to release Jenkins, And it is pointed out that one nation can de- mand the release of subject in another nation only when justice has
 been denied.

Must Cooperate.

It has been officially announced that operators who fail to cooperate in assisting the Government to in crease the coal production will be compelled to surrender their prop critics for Government operation. Little reluctance on the part of the. operators is anticipated, however, since a majority of those who are in this city attending the coal con- ference are strongly in favor of the Governments plan of settlement.
 It is claimed by some of the operators that compliance with the Garfield plan will compel some of the mines to close down, since it will be impossible for them to grant the proposed wage increase without boosting the selling price of coal.
 Not Settled Yet.
 While there is no doubt about the Governments determination to go into the coal mining business, if necessary to prevent the fuel situ- ation from becoming more acute, It is by no means certain that the coal men and the strikers will be
