those who are able will be urged
to contribute liberally to the Sus-
tanning memberships. A great
number of live citizens in New
Iberia have not been requested to
subscribe but, according to Presi-
dent H. w. Carver, their mem

zation.
According to Alphonse Davis,
newly elected director, the New
iberia Chamber of Commerce is
coming out in a new dress and is
attempting to do more effective
work for the community. With
this object in view it is quite nee
esSary, Of course, to enlist all the
available men in the community,
especially those who have original
ideas as to how to improve our
little City on the Teche, and those
who are willing to help under the
Flag of Progress for New iberia.
Cities, according to Mr.. Davis,
are much like individuals. They
become run down at the heels
when they are not cared for and
the New Iberia Chamber of Com
nerce aims to keep the town well
shod and in good running order
bv keeping the organization
abreast of all public movements
for the advancement of the COM

New York, Feb. 17.-Disordered condition in Mexico will end in 1921, according to statement today of General Salvador Alvarado, publish CT of Fl Hertldo De Mexico and Fl Heraldo Semanarito of Mexico City. General Alvardo is here buying mod ern printing machinery for his news papers.
 He declared the disorder would end "because there is powerful current of opinion throughout the country in all places and classes to- ward peace congratulations" If the vote in the Mexican presidential election next July is respected" he said, Gin this same year an era of peace and work will begin elimina ting the main source of the trouble be- tween the United States and Mexico Conditions now point to the election of General Obregon as president, he asserted.
 Promotion of friendly relations be- tween the two countries, he said, de pended upon better mutual under Standing of the aspirations, needs and conceptions of each people.
 "No one doubts that the United States possesses material strength enough to occupy the Mexican terri tory" he said, but it never will conquer that means the hearts and good will of that people. Besides a large army of occupation and the consequent waste of lives and money, the United States would face the terrible problem of assimilating 16 million rebels who would with all their hearts oppose their oppres- sors.
 "The only policy for the United States to follow is that of frank CO., operation with its southern neighbor so that they may solve their two great fundamental problems:
 "First, organization of production to attain the best results from their natural resources.
 Second, education so to obtain greater conservation and the uplift- ing of human resources.
 "On the other hand, it is the duty .of Mexicans in this task of the bet terment of our relations with the United States and all the friendly nations to establish a government of enlightenment and progressive men fitted to interpret the true meaning of events"

LABOR SAYS RETURN
 OF RAILROADS MAY
 MEAN WORLD PANIC
Jewett Charges Lines Can't Survive End of U. $.
 Control
PREDICTS RATES WILL
 BE GREATLY RAISED
Specific Reasons for Continuation of Federal Control are Cited in Request Signed by Rail
 Union Chiefs

Washington. Feb. 17.-Urging that federal operation of the railroads be continued for at least an additional two years, B. M. Jewell, acting presi- dent of the railway employees de- partment of the American Federation of Labor, in letter to members of congress today expressed the opin- ion that return of the roads to pri vate ownership at this time would lead inevitably to their bankruptcy which might easily result in na- tional panic and in turn bring "world wide bankruptcy"
 "For two years traffic has been short routed" MT. Jewell said, ex- plaining his belief that the roads cannot survive their return to pri- vate control. It has been sent over selected routes. A great part of the mileage of the country is not earn ing operating expenses and fixed charges"
 The letter of objections to the re- turn of the roads was signed by the heads of the IA railroad unions, in- cluding the four big brotherhoods, who have been acting as unit in urging first, ownership by the gov ernment of the rail systems, and, second continuation of government control as an alternative.
 Calling attention to the Colossal savings, economies and efficiencies" under federal operation, the letter said reversion to private owner ship would mean "an increase in rates of from 25 to 50 per cent, an addition of $1,0OO, 100000 a year."
 Specific Reasons. Among the score of specific req sons cited were:
 According to the reports of the director general the railroads oper- ated as nullified system are on q paying basis Cor are in fair way to earn all charges against them, and possibly to accumulate q surplus" Validation of watered securities alleged to be the main object of those seeking return, would mean the substituting of the railroad industry. The Cummins-E Esch bill with it's guarantee of earnings is an invita- tion to waste and extravagance. Return of the railroads at this time is an invitation to still further industrial disturbances which are "born of labor shortage on one hand and the high cost of living on the other"
 The letter also says:
 Under federal operations the Southern states have had a square deal. Ports,s harbors, terminals and shipping lines have been stimulated from the Rio Grande to Baltimore" but return to the preferential treat ment of New York twill kill South ern ports, Southern shipping, South ern industry.
 "Water transportation can never be developed with the railroads in private hands.
 "A matter of vital interest" the letter concludes, "is the enlisting of the employees so that they will work harmoniously, willingly and ef- ficiently. It is colossal waste to exclude from railway operation the contributions of two million men with life long experience in the rail- way industry"

HOPE TO AGREE ON TREATY AND LEAGUE BECOMES SMALLER Republicans Fail to Meet Dem- Ocrats on Article
 Ten DEBATE TO CONTINUE.
 INDICATIONS ARE Party Leaders of Both Sides are Un- certain as to What May be
 Next Develop
 ments

Washington, Feb. 17.-The peace treaty compromise negotiations got into such a tangled state today that despite claims in some quarters that the lines on both sides were weak ening, the treaty's best friends in the senate minimized the possibili- ties of agreement.
 "1t looks as tho we might come out at the same hole we went in,'' said Senator Hitchcock, the demo- cratic leader, after another effort to obtain republican aid in modify ing the Article X reservation. He added that the republicans apparent ly had rejected all compromise pro- posals and that he was certain the treaty never could be ratified unless they did compromise.
 At the same time some mild reser- vationr republicans indicated their be- lief that the democratic proposal might command considerable repub- lican strength, while some democrats predicted that enough democrats to insure ratification would break away and vote for the republican reservation.
 The result was muddled situa- tion in which the party leaders on both sides appeared uncertain as to what might be the next develop ment. It generally was agreed, however, that there would be no showdown immediately and that the debate which began yesterday would be permitted to run on for the pres ent without any effort to hasten a ratification roll call.
 Forty democrats had been pledged tonight for the alternate Article X reservation presented by Senator Hitchcock and he said he hoped eventually to have the support of one or two more. It would take 49 votes to make up the simple majori ty necessary to substitute one of these reservations for the republican draft and to the seven or more re- publican votes required for this op- eration 15 more would have to be added to insure final ratification by tWo-thirdS vote,

Exports of Cotton
 Increase Despite Value of Exchange

Washington, Feb. 17.-Despite fur ther depreciation in European ex- change exports of raw cotton from the United States in January, accord ing to department of commerce re- port stoday, amounted to 929,671 bales valued at $194 ,965, ,355, which exceeded the former higher record set in November 1919 of 924,751 bales worth $181 1909, ,272.
 England, as usual, was the larg- est purchaser, the report states, fol lowed by Japan, Italy, France, Bel gium, and Canada in the order given The recent stoppage of cotton i'm ports by England, department ex- perts say, came too late in January to be reflected in the reports of the month.
