MENICAN CONGRESS- WILL
ACT SLOWLY On OIL LAWS

Mexico City, Sept 25.-The possibility
that the Mexican senate would act
quickly ON oil legislation became uncer.
tain today as a result Of the session Of
lhe upper house of congress.
Senator Juan Frias, one Of the au-
thors Of the bill being considered by
the senate, began the discussion for
the measure, but Carlos Zetina offered
proposal for the amendment of arti-
Gle 27, of the constitution, which ar
ticle nationali2es oil lands.
The measure, backed by Senor F'rias
ana his faction in the senate, makes
article q operative without being
retroactive, thus meeting the principal
objection of foreign interests.
The motion of Senor Zetina, it is be-
lieved will entail weeks Of discussion.
While the senate has taken up the oil
question, the chamber Of deputies has
thus far failed to touch upon the oil
proposals submitted by the executive
branch Of the government last Novem-
Der against provisions Of which foreign
oil interests have made strenuous objec-
tions.

Burleson Enters Denial

Washington, Sept 25.-Denial that
any effort had been made by the post
office department to influence the civil
service commission in the rating of eli
gible dppointcos for postmasters of
first, second and third class offices is
made by Postmaster General Burleson
in II letter to Speaker Gillett.
On the contrary, the Department. he
asserted, has observed, lat all times in
letter and in spirit" the presidential
order for the certification of the can
ddatc with the highest rating.
To substantate his statement Mr.
Burleson included in his letter a tabula.
ton showing "concusively that the
charges so frequently made that the
postmaster general is violating the exec
utive order is unfair, unjust and with.
out foundation in fact"
The letter was prompted by house
adoption of a resolution, calling for
detailed information about the post
master generals department, after the
dispute between Mr.. Burleson and for
mer members of the commission.

LEADERS Of RAIL WAY
BROTHERHO0DS ATTACK
THE CUMMINS BILL

Washington, Sept 25.-Sections of
the Cummins railroad reorganization
bill which would forbid strikes by rail
way employees continues to draw fire
before the senate interstate commerce
committee.
Officials Of the railroad brotherhoods
attack the proposals as a return to
slavery in industry.
Three proposals take away rights
of citizenship from railroad men," p.
j. Mcnamara, vice president of the
brotherhood of firemen and enginemen
said. ut makes serfs out of men,"
w. n. Doak. vice president OF the
tranmens brotherhood, classed the
sections, 'as the most bold attempt
at bondage since the civil war;
You don't need to be afraid of or
gani2ed strikes in this country" he
declared. "but you do need to be afraid
of the unorganzed mob strike When
they start there is no way to get the
men back. This bill simply fosters

ments, because it will destroy honor

SENATOR SAYS THAT
BURLESOE WANTS TO
CONTROL OFFICES

Washington, Sept. 25.-When Sen
ator Norris, republican, Nebraska, told
the senate, yesterday, that he believed
an investigation of the alleged activi-
ties Of Postmaster Burleson in con
neCtion with civil service appointments
would show some things which might
be sufficient grounds for impeach-
ment and asked that the resolution
upon which he was speaking. a reso.
luton proposing such an inquiry, Sen
ator simmons, acting democrat leader
said he knew of no democratic oppo
sition to the Investigation, adding that
the democrats rather courted it.
Senator Norris said it was the com
mon custom" i'm cases where the post
master candidate certified by the com
mission, did not suit Mr.. Burleson,
politically or otherwise, for the post
master general to send out inspectors
for the purpose Of disqualifying the ap-
plicant, "instead of conducting a fun
and fair investigation"
The senator also charged that the
postmaster general had retained in
office a postoffice cmploye convicted
of political activity i'm violation Of the
law.
The Nebraska senator also asserted
that an investigation would show that
Mr.. Rurlcson was attempting to con
troll the appointment of a chief Of the
civil service commission, 80 he can
place more democrats in office"

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 25.-The senate
committee investigation at Washington
of the nationwide strike of steel work.
ers, today drew the attention of en-
ployers, labor leaders and other inter
ested parties in the Pittsburg district.
Reports Of actual strike developments
We're given secondary consideration by
those involved i'm the controversy, the
Washington inquiry taking precedent
over all other news.
The fight of the steel workers for
,he right of free speech and free as.
semblage in the pittsburg district, ac-
cording to union leaders, is one of the
main questions to be brought to the
attention Of the senate investigators
with the demand that the constitution.
al rights of the workers be upheld by
the federal government"
Little change in the strike situation
here was noticeable today
Conflicting statements regarding the
number of workers involved in the
walkout come from the employers and
union headquarters, with both sides
claiming the advantage.
Disorders in the district, so prominent
during the first two days Of the strike,
have dwindled to sporadic outbreaks in
which members of the crowds have been
slightly injured and many arrested

of Raiwaymen will participate in the
conference to be held this morning with
representatives of the government rel
ative to the unions threatened nation.
wide strike, according to notification
sent to Sir Eric Gaddes, minister of
transport early today. The president
Of the union said today that if a strike
should be ordered it would begin at mid
night Friday night.
Members of the union are now work
ing under an agreement with the gov
ernment by which the men will CON
tinue to draw their wartime wages un-
til December 81. The sudden demand
for an immediate settlement therefore
came as a surprise yesterday and there
We're hints that the unions action was
of political significance.
General CONSERVATION over the threat
ened strike is voiced by London morn
ing newspapers, the majority of which
are indignant at the haste with which
the National Union of Railwaymen
launched its threat while there was yet
three months for the temporary agree
ment to run. There is some criticism
Of the governments handling of the
situation, it being especially accused Of
"dawdling," but the bulk of opinion is
sharply against the union which is con
demned for playing with fire" and
doing everything possible to force con
cessions which the country is unable
ut this time to afford"

ER TELL OF STRIKE CAUSE

Washington, Sept 25.-Investigation
of the nationwide steel strike by the
senate labor committee which begins

situation in any way can be relieved by
federal action
John Fitzpatrick, chairman of the
strikers organization, has assured the
committee he would present "labor's
side Of the controversy and he was
summoned as the first witness.
+. II. Gary, chairman of the United
States Steel Corporation, was sumrS....

troyersy, but will be unable to appear
until next week. He will be asked to
make detailed statement and then
submit to cross examination
Failure of negotiations to avert the
strike, committeeman said, also would
be investigated and why it was not post.
poned at President Wilson's request and
why Mr.. Gary refused to deal with the
uaion organizers.
