Washington, Jan. 22.-Elaborate ma

would be requested to call a national

pending action by the national labor
congress, to establish body like the

Senator Kenyon told the senate that
the preparation of an Industrial code
was the primary thing he sought.\
"If the employer and employe could
get together on an Industrial code rec

said Senator Kenyon. then disputes
over these things could be taken care

period thru which we arc now passing
there exists no general agency for set

termining a labor policy, and no gen.

worked out by employers or employees
as to fundamental principles which
should obtain in labor arrangements.

the diplomatic relations between the
two countries to be strained almost
to the breaking point.

garded in Washington as only tenn
porary expedient and in no way set
ties tho OIL dispute between tho two
countries.

gram to President Carranza today,
confirming acceptance Of his propo-
sition.

was followed Immediately by orders
from the oil companies to their rep
resentatives In Mexico to resume op-
erations.

a far.reaching influence on interna-
tional shipping and many lines of
manufacturing. Both shippers and
manufacturers had become alarmed
at the shortage of fuel oil.
Under the new arrangement licenses

and interprets Article 27 OF the new
constitution. All points in dispute
are to be brought up for discussion
at that time.
