MEXICAN POLICE CHIEF IS HELD
 FOR ROBBERY

Washington, Sept. 17-Chief of Po- lice Agupito Perez of Tuxpan, Mexico, and Lieut.. Colonel Rodriguez of the Mexican federal army have been ar rested on order of General Murguia, accused of complicity in the recent robbery of the Tuxpan office of the PennMex Oil Company, an American corporation, it was said in official ad- vices reaching Washington today. Practically all the 2S members of the robber band have been arrested and the prisoners without exception, the despatches said, have declared under oath that Lieut.-Colonel Rodiguez was in command of the band at the time of the robbery and personally directed the work
 The robbers secured about $40, 900 gold, of which, it is said, Chief of Police Perez received S2,50O. The ar- restS were the result of Gneral Mur- guia's promise of support to the oil men if they could prove that any sol- dier or civil official participated in any way in the frequent robberies of Americans in the oil regions.

THE PEOPLES SAY.
WHY PICK ON THE BRICKIAYEE?

ITO the Editor of the Times:
 "In the Bridgeport Post, Saturday, SepA 13, 1919, an article appeared under the heading why Waste Time" The brickIayers are on strike for S1.25 per hour. His tools consist of a trowel, training picked up at random and his ignorance as colossal as the Woolworth building" (This mans love for the bricklayer is oyerbearing.) The horny handed brickIayer needs only intelligence enough to lift and lay a brick l believe he has it.
 But what has become of this scribe's intelligence to pick out the bricklayer for criticism on the wage question. It is very plain that he has no use for a union man whether brickIaycr, or editor. His sympathy seems to be with the scab, who, he says. we have driven out. But still we have sympathy for the scab. We always invite him in, as the bricklay- CTS strength is in being united union brickIayers, founded on the principles of the United States, the greatest of unions, but if one of which states dropped out of line and became a scab state what could it gain. In unity there is strength and peace.
