Samuel Gompers Declares
Conflict Will Result if Rec
concentrations of Senate
Committee Are Carried Out.
BRANDS REPORT OF
PROBE AS VICIOUS
Says It Demands Unless Con-
stitution Of Republic Is
Changed U. S. Send Soldiers
To Police Certain Sections.

Washington, June ;. -- Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, declared in a
formal statement today that a war
pss(ween the United States and Mex
leo would result if the recommenda-
ton of the senate committee which
investigated the Mexican affairs were
carried out.
"The report of the senate suboom-
mittee investigating conditions in
Mexico under the chairmanship Of
Senator A. B. FALL" Mr.. Gompers
said, amounts to declaration that
unless the Mexican government re-
writes its constitution in accord
with the idea of the American oil
and mining interests, the govern
ment of the United States will in
tervene' in Mexico.
"The report of Senator Falls
committee demands number Of
specified changes in the Mexican
constitution. These changes would
be the consummation of what has
been long the hopes of the great oil
and mining interests as well as the
land and timber interests which have
ipmented the bitterness between the
people of the United States and
Mexico.
Heart of Report Vicious.
"In some minor particulars, rec
concentrations made by Senator
Falls committee may be acceptable,
but the heart of the report can only
be described as vicious. The re-
port demands that undess the Mex
lean constitution is altered as recon-
mendcd, the government of the
United States send a police force,
consisting of the naval and military
forces of our government, into the
republic of Mexico to open and
maintain open every line of COM
munication between the City OF
Mexico and d,every seaport and border
port in Mexico.
"Of course this amounts to polio
ing practically the whole of the
.aSuntry. Those who know Mexico
and the Mexican people understand
fully that such action would mean
war between the two countries"
1.-THE report of Senator Falls
committee, therefore. is a report
which recommends course leading
direct to war with Mexico. This
has long been desired by American
interests engaged in the exploitation
of the national wealth of Mexico.
Condemned by Working Class.
Adoption by the senate of this
report wAuld constitute the adop-
ton Of foreign policy completely
at variance with the established

Fauors Change in
Foot Ball Rules
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated fresS.
Philadelphia, March S.--John Heis-
man. coach OF the University oil
Pennsylvania football team, favors
the proposal to substitute u certain
number of plays for certain period
OF time to determine the length OF
football games.
1T Is good rule he said. and
would eliminate the old evil Of stall
ing. I do not know or hand how the
details could be worked out, but
Pennsylvania representatives should
be instructed TO support the proposal
at the annual meeting OF the Rules
Committee In New York next month.
Il also think II would be a good
thing TO change the scoring to give
four points for balls lost within i've
yards of the opponents goal line
three points inside the ten yard line
and two points inside the 20 yard
line. Thus there would be no tie

outplayed the other"

1t probably would call for another
