eral months ago and decided to ask
for:
A six-hour day.
A five-day week.
A substantial increase in wages.
Naturalization of the mining in
dustry will be advocated in resolu-
ton prepared for submission to the
convention. This action was urged
by the policy committee and it was
considered likely copy of the reso-
luton will be forwarded to congress.
Numerous other resolutions, pre-
pared weeks before the convention
came to order, were to be presented
The nature of these will not be di-
vulged until they are introduced at
which time they will be referred to
the committees.

leave from the presidents chair re-
covering from a nervous breakdown.

sidered one Of the most important
inasmuch as it either adopts or re-
jects the report of the policy COM

Americans Robbed
$4,000 by Mexicans

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Details
of three robberies in a week in the
Tampico region have been received
at the offices of the oil companies.
The robbers obtained $59,060 Mex
lean gold. American companies be-
'ng the victims, and the robberies all
took place in the territory where no
one but Carranza troops are permit
ted to carry arms.
H. M. Krimbill, cashier of the
PennMex. camp, was forced by ban
dts to open the safe, from which $685.
600 was taken, the robbers escaping
in company launch. Twenty-eight
men in all took part in the robbery,
all armed with rifles and revolvers.
Luis Guitieres, paymaster of the
Agwi Company, while taking a pay
roll of $4,000 to the Petat Camp, was
held up by three armed and masked
men and robbed. Neither Guitterres
nor his companion, Kenneth de Lacy,
knew they were to make the trip un-
til ten minutes before they started.
The company officials, howey er, had
notified, the Mexican authorities at
Tampico of the amount of the pay
roll and the time of departure and
route to be taken.
The robbers demanded the exact
'.mount, according to the report,
which was not known to the two men
carrying it, and it was counte be-
fore the robbers would let their vic
tins go.
A Tampico bank made up a $780,
900 payroll of the Transcontinenta
Oil Company in an effort to thwart
the robbers and placed in box to be
sent to the camp at Mata Redonda
by launch. The Mexican authorities
are said to have delayed the depar-
ture of the launch unexpectedly for
one night, and when it reached the
camp, box of old iron had been
substituted for the orginial.

The Swing and The Fire.
/ don't want to do another thing
Than sit right here in this blamed
old swing;
It's seats SO easy, its back just right
And its arms are surely my hearts
| delight.
l lounge and loll and take my ease,
!, While the soft wind murmurs through
the trees.
It breathes lullaby soft and clear,
That to worn-out souls is ever dear;
While far o'er-head the days great
eye
Looks red and inflamed through the
smoky sky.
Not far away is the forest fire,
Waging it's war with relentless ire. '
And men are weary from fighting the
thing.
My! But it's nice here in this swing.
IT'S sad to think that the fire-swept
trees
Can never again respond to the breeze
And murmur their songs so soft and
clear,
That to me seems ever so good to
hear.

Too bad they should meet such use
less death.
Much timber and homes are swept
away,
In the wild mad rush of the demons
sway.
After the fire is thing of the past
And winter has come with its chilling
blast,
How sad and dreary the scene will be,
That once was the home of the beau
tiful tree,
Their blackened bodies in skeleton
form,
In death must battle the winters
storm.
And later as men forget their worth,
With a last short dirge they'll fall to
earth.
Perhaps should help those fellows,
but Oh!
It seems useless to fight such a
powerful foe.
| feel so tired and l like this swing.

bring
TO stop the onward rush of the fiend,
Before it threatens the home Of a
friend.
