 Though numerous decorations had been hung out to welcome the return of the president. his reception was en- tirely without recemony.

CARRANZl SUMMONS
 AN EXTRA SESSION

WASHINGTON. March 1s-The Mexican congress has been called by President Carranza to meet in extra session May l. State department ad- vices today said business to be consid- cred would include oil land legislation, a law to enforce provision of the new constitution relating to labor, and social welfare and legislation for a central bank.
 The oil land legislation is of marked interest to the United States, Great Britain and France. as it will affect vast holdings of their nations. Tho pending petroleum bill upon which the last congress did not have time to act after the measure was submitted by President Carranza, is regarded in un- official circles here as unsatisfactory. in that it marely grants licenses to oil companies to operate their productive wells and thus fails to ensure title to their undevelOped lands held in reserve for the future.
 Officials said today the proposed law failed to recognize vested rights which the United States. Great Britain and France specifically insisted upon in notes sent to the Mexican government nearly year ago The rights of prop erty purchased in Mexico under the old constitution were recognized until 1917. until the new constitution declaring all minerals belonged to the govern - ment, and denying the right of foreig- CTS 10 own land in Mexico, became ef- fective
 Some high officials believe that be- cause of the new feeling of co-opera - tion now evident on both sides of the Rio Grande. the objectionable feature of the oil bill will be eliminated by the Mexican congress
 The labor legislation to come before the extra session of congress also is considered of great importance here. because it affects many mining. agri- cultural and other companies in Mexico financed by Americans and other for eigners. Under authority of the new constitution many states have adopted the eight hour day. with a seven -houl ; limit for night work, compulsory profit sharing among the employe and othel
 labor laws, and means is now soughi , to enforce them.
 Workmen's compensation laws have been enacted by most Of the state legis. { latureS.

TRY ARGUING WOMEN
 BACK TO OLD JOBS

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Argu- ments in the appeal from the recon- mendation of the national war labor board, that women conductors at Cleve- land, Ohio, he discharged 10 satisfy de- mands of striking male employees, were heard today by the board. The case was taken under advisement and a decision is expected within two weeks.
 Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the national American woman suffrage association, Frank P Walsh, former joint chairman of the board, and Miss Mary van Kleek, di- rector of the woman- in industry ser vice of the labor department were among those appearing in behalf of the discharged women workers, while James H. Nahey. attorney for the In ternational Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Elm ployes. opposed the appeal.
 pr. Shaw declared that during the war. womea in all parts of the country had responded nobly to the nations call for workers, but that now that the achteness for workers has passed, there was a tendency to 'get rid" of the women.
 Mir Walsh, who appeared as counsel for the women employees, said the board should declare that women were legally entitled to the same rights in industry as men. The women conductors of Cleveland were unjustly discharged. he said, and should be reinstated.
 MT. Vahey urged that the board was acute-TT eDDectorrp menst-
 not legally empowered to order the re- employment of the women conductors since it's jurisdiction extended only tc cases where labor disputes between employees and employers threatened tC result in a strike He said the womer knew when they were employed that they would be retained only for the period Of the war

FRENCH TAXES WILL
 DEPEND UPON SIZE
 OF HUN INDEMNITY

PARIS. March 13.-Louis Klotz, the minister of finance. began his eagerly awaited speech in the chamber of dep uties today on the financial situation by denying that he had made the state ment that France had become richer since the war. From the fiscal point Of view there had been more resources created, the minister conceded, but it would be absurd to say that any country with departments in such a condition as the invaded departments of France had become richer.
 The yearly budget M. Kotz an nounced. would be three or four times greater than before the war, the deficit to meet being 21750,OO0,O0O francs.
 M. I<lotz gave some striking figures of war expenditures He said that more than thirty billion francs was spent for artillery and eleven billion francs for the pay of troops. The total expenditures of the ministry of war were one hundred and nineteen billion francs. while the navy department spent oly six billion francs.
 Maneuvers for Funds
 According Co M. Klotz it would he relatively easy to meet the 1919 deficit by an increase in certain indirect taxes. an income tax. receipts from the liqui- dation of war stocks, and a revision of the law governing the transportation of troops over French railways. by charg- ing the allies for transportation. as the French arc charged. The railroad defi- cit the minister said, would be 4,000. OOO00O francs.
 Concerning the proposed tax on capi- tai. M. klotz said the French capitalist tax payer would not be called on to pay one cent of additional taxes until Germany's indemnity figures to France were settled upon and guaranteed. But even should Germany pay completely for damages and the restoration of the devastated provinces, NJ. Klotz said this would not balance future budgets after 1919. The tax on capital. the minister asserted. Was destined 10 reach war profiteers
 Frequently Interrupted
 M. Klotz did not heed numerous in- terpellations from all sides of the chamber, asking him to name the amount which would be demanded iron Germany. Victor Dalbien. radical so- cialist, created some excitement by shouting:
 Long live CaillauX.' referring to for. mer Premier Joseph Caillaux. who i: under arrest charged with having haC dealings with the enemy. The cham. ber was filled with officers and soldier. who loudly hissed Dalbien. One officer shook his fist at the deputy and shouted a challenge to a duel
 M. Klotz during his address men. toned future financial society of na. uons. the plans of which have beer discussed and will be given out shortly as the only means for France 10 balanc, future budgets. He also spoke of ad ditional taxes after Germany's war in demnity has been deducted from tn, present French debt.

REDF F|ELD WILL
 DISTRIBUTE ALL INDUSTRIAL DATl I

NEW YORK, March 13.-Constantly increasing data on industrial conditions abroad, which is being accumulated by the bureau of domestic and foreign trade of the department of commerce. will be turned over to the national industrial conference board for dissemination among manufacturers interested, Will liam C. Redfield secretary of com merce, announced at a meeting of that organization here today.
 A committee was appointed to re- ceive, classify and distribute the data. The conference board includes mem bership of 26 state and national assO- citations Of manufacturers. Mir. Redfield told members of the board that it is the aim of his depart { ment to assist American industries in every legitimate way to maintain sta bility and prosperity at home, as well as to promote American prestige and trade abroad, and to foster all proper operation between the government and American industry.
 Later Mr. Redfield addressed the Paint. oil and Narnish club of New 1 York on 'America's business oppor- { tunitiesr
 ! This country, on it's business side. said MT. Redfield, has been on a great military debauch, and we are now go- i ing through the morning after The i supreme object of the country during the war was output. Prices Were not considered"
 Even the war, Mr. Redfield said, had not brought the nation to a full reali- Zation of its industrial resources.
 If the war had continued" he said ''the United States could have lifted Germany bodily out of France and Bel gium, simply by the eXertion of it's in ! dustrial power
 Don't Complain of England Although he predicted increases it international trade, the secretary urged that manufacturers make no complaint if England shut out some imports Great Britain, he said, is facing a great problem in the matter of unemploy ment. and is heavily in debt.
 We cannot complain bitterly" ht said, If she adjusts her affairs as she thinks best. Our feelings towards all the European nations must be one of CO., operation and mutual help
 The things that America needs mos today" he continued, are flair vision and "a quiet mind conscious of strengtl and power"
 I Mir Redfield said war restrictions were being removed as rapidly as pos sible and added that his departmeni was doing everything in it's power to foster the nations commerce and tn, transportation thereof.
 Yesterday, he pointed out he haC filed sprief in behalf of a corporatioG against the railroad administration, be cause he felt the administration ac- ton in doubling freight rates for trans nortation of this corporations produc was unjust.
