Large Quantities Guns and AM
munition Bought in Spain
and Belgium
UNITED STATES GOV
ERNMENT PROTESTS
Shipments Of Machine Guns and
Ammunition Made From
Spain During War

Washington, Nov. 13.-Large or
ders for arms and ammunition,
placed by Mexico in Belgium and
Spain, in preparation for the posi-
bility Of American Intervention,
came to light today when the state
department let it become known that
the government had taken steps to
prevent their shipment.
The charge d'affaires Of the United
States embassy in Brussels has pro-
tested, under instructions, that ship
ment of the munitions would be vio-
latiOn of the international arms COM
vention. AS Spain is not a, party to
the agreement, which was resigned to
aid in the keeping of the peace of the
world during and after the war transi-
ton period, no such direct action is
probable at Madrid.
The order in; Belgium was placed
with the Fabrique Rationale D'Arn1s
at Liege, probably under the direction
Of Candido Aguillar, Mexico minister
of foreign affairs, and President Car
ranza's son-in-law. who went to Eu-
rope recently after stopping here and
placing a wreath on George Washing
tons tomb at Mount Vernon.
The orders in Spain which included
rifles, millions of rounds Of ammuni-
ton and a large number of machine
guns, were negotiated through the
Mexican minister there, Elezeo Are
dondo former ambassador to the Unit
ed States. -
The Spanish munitions, according
to information in the hands of, the
government began passing into Mexico
more than year ago while the Euro
pean war still was going on and IN
violation Of the Interallied embargo.
The United States has beentdeny2EGs
shipments of arms into Mexicosafor
many months for the reason that they
generally fell into the aandss Of ban
dts and often were Used against
Americans.
Such information as has now come
into the hands of tie government
shows that Mexico already was turn
Mig to European manufacturers for
-,er supply and has since placed enor-
nous orders.
Meanwhile the activities of a Ger
man mission in Mexico. .are closely
being observed. Attempts by the
Mexican government at con6scation of
mines and oil wells with an announc-
ed view to their naturalization are
being closely examined in comparison
with Germany's need for those pro-
ducts.

COAL STRIKE
CONFERENCE
Miners and Operators Continue
Negotiations at Wash
irgton

Washington, Nov. 16.-Negotiation
of a new wage scale in the soft coal
industry stood in much the same Slt-
uation tonight as when miners and
operators met at Buffalo in Septem-
Der to frame contract TO replace the
Washington wage agreement.
This time. however, there was no
threat of a strike. and both.s sides were
ready to resume their conference to-
morrow IN -the-hepe af-scrcnfngg>
quick settlement.
Some of the operators protested
that union miners had failed to re-
turn to work as ordered BY Federal
Judge Anderson at indianapolis and in
the face of withdrawal Of the strike
order by officers of the United Mine
Workers Of America. 1t was inti-
mated that this would be brought up
at the joint conference.
JOHN J.. Lewis. acting president OF
the miners organization. still holding
the miners demands just. took issue
:oday with the statement Of Secrc-
larE Wilson that a wage increase OF
60 per cent. would make them a fay-
ored class of workers.
The demands submitted TO the op-
orators yesterday reafirmed the six
hour day, but omitted reference to

ed The miners now are asking a
maximum Of si:; hours working time
in the mines The time required to
so down into tie mines and 20 return

CT about haif hour TO the day. Lew
IS said.
There was no Indication today that
operators outside the central compe-
titive fields intended to accept any
agreement which might hc reached
III this territory in advance of tie
agreement itself. Nir. Lewis declared
that miners representative from out
iying districts would remain here un-
til a settlement in The coal industry
was reached.

cerning the reported arrest of Consul
lar Agent jenkins at Puebla, on

LOANS ON COTTON
Harding Says Grades Must Be
Shown, However

Washington, Nov. 16.-DenyinS per-
sistent rumors to the effect that the
federal reserve banks have contem-
plated the recall Of loans made on
cotton or the future issuance of loans.
W p G. Harding, governor OF the
federal reserve board, in letter to-
day 20 Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima stated the only change made IN
the position Of the banks regarding
cotton leans was tendency to Strlcter
examination into the grade OF cotton
shown By the receipts pledged Us col
lateral. The bark will not assume
the value Of even % cents a pound.
NJ. Harding said, .urless he receipts
do indicate the grade or other salts
factory evidence is furnished as TO
what the grade is. There are SO many
different grades OF cotton and the
spread between the value OF the low
est and the highest grade is so great
that it seems to me that some knowl-
edge Of the grade is necessary in lend
ing intelligently on cotton as collat-
eral.'
Mr.. Harding declared there was
nothing TO warrant the Inference that
25 cents a pound was to be regarded
as maximum Salable value for loan
purposes, adding: we know that
some long staple cotton recently sold
in New Orleans at Is cents a pound.
and we know also that it is not un-
usual for the fluctuations in cotton to
amount to as much as 200 points in q
single day IN these circumstances II
seems TO me that it is necessary to re-
quire a larger margin in making loans
on cotton than was the case when
cotton was selling at a much lower
price and was free from the eNtraor-
binary fluctuations to which it is now
subject
While believing that the federal re-
serve system should do everything
possible, with due regard TO safety
and to the wants and requirements
Of other commercial interests in the
country" TO aid the cotton producers
to market their products in a gradual
and orderly manner. so that no one
might be forced TO sell at a sacrifice,

not be used as a medium TO enable the
owners of cotton to withhold ii cntirc-
