trict must fight Mexicans or bride
them, Michael H. Spellacy, for many
years in the oil business in Mexico,
testified today before special exam
liner for the senate foreign relations
committee.
by bribery, I mean that the COM
panies pay officers of the Carranza
government to do what they are re-
quired by law to do" Spellacy said.
He added that many workers would
like t put all facts of the situation
before the government Of the United
States, but were not permitted by the
companies.
Spellacy declared that the feeling
among Americans in Mexico was that
the government knew all about the
troubles there and had deliberately
suppressed the facts.
Americans feel" he continued that
they should let the United States
know, first hand what is happenin,
and If the government won't do any
thing, then they will do it themselves.

ment of the recent strike of coal

One question relates to application
Of the IA per cent increase in the
Kanawha fields. The Union has con.
tended that the increase should be
similar to that granted in the central
competitive states, while operators
hold that wage advance should be
based on the scale paid In West Vir

The attitude of certain coal com

Socialist Assemblymen
Take Fight to People
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Socialist
leaders as the next move In their
fight against the action of the state
assembly in suspending five members
of their party today were perfecting
plans to take their cause directly to
the people.
A mass meeting in Madison Square
Garden will be held at which not only
socialists but leaders Of other parties
and citizens generally will have an
opportunity to voice protests.

organizing the fight to regain the
seats of the excluded assemblymen
has issued an appeal to all civic or
CARNATIONS and labor unions to send
delegates to q non-partisan confer,
ence to be held at the Rand school !. :
Monday evening.
While letters and kilograms from all
parts Of the country, some approving
and others censuring the action Of the
assembly continued to pour In upon
various party leaders, a letter from
Charles e. Hughes sent last night to
, Speaker Sweet of the assembly at
tracted the greatest attention today.
The former justice condemned the
suspension as an act in which "the
very principles" of the American gov
eminent are ignored. He said that it
was the perogative of a legislative
body to consider charges made against
an individual, but that as he inter
preted this action it was an attempt
to indict a political party.

U. S. ABSENCE IN
LEAGUE REGRETTED
BY BRITISH PRESS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Jan. 10-Regret over
Americas absention from participat-
ing in the ratification Of the treaty Of
Versailles Is again expressed in edi-
torials printed in this mornings news
papers.
Americas absence, says the Tele-
graph, clouds alike the prospect of
the present and the future. It weak
ems profoundly the moral authority
of the league of nations and conse-
quently the sense of security regard
ing the immediate future. Instead of
new machinery for the worlds future
guidance standing ready and COM
plete waiting only motive power to
set 1t going, the machine is not yet
put together. The United States still
stands outside. The allies have waited
until they could wait no longer and
must now go forward alone, deeply
sensible of the loss they have sus-
tanned but still hoping that sooner or
later they will be rejoined by the
great republic"
The Daily News contends: "a new
world order from which America, or
for that matter Germany or Russia or
any considerable fraction Of mankind
is excluded Is fordoomed to failure"
Urges League Construction.
The newspaper urges that it is adj
visable to press on with the construc-
ton of the league, even in the event
that America determines to remain
outside because there is reasonable
hope that once the league is in being,
this attitude will ultimately become
impossible"
Referring, like other journals to po-
litical conflicts in America regarding
the league and the Versailles treaty
the Chronicle says: 1.-THE position is
not very reassuring to Europeans who
are living in a word shattered by war
While Americans continue to debate
we may derive some crumbs of com,
fort from the fact that statesmen like
, William Jennings Bryan and Gilbert
M. Hitchcock. Democratic leader in
the United States senate, have no il
lusions about the danger of delay fol
Europe, and the effect it has had upon
American prestige"
