HUERTA SETTLES
RAILROAD STRIKE
(By Associated Press.)

Mexico City, Sept. IA railroad
strike which virtually sopped traffic
on the national lines for eight hours
yesterday, was settled last evening
when provisional President de Il" HUI
erta granted three of the four de-
mands by the strikers. It is expected
train operation throughout the re-
public will be normal today.
The strikers secured recognition of
with a rs percent wage increase; a
promise that all pending wage dis
putes would be adjusted and an agree
ment that the expenses of delegates
to the recent railwaymen's convention
here would be paid. The provisional
president refused to accede to the
demands for the removal of Francisco
Perez, who was recently named gen.
eral manager of the national lines.
Announcement was likewise made
that virtually all the demads of the
strikers in cotton mills. tobacco fac
tories and shoe manufactures in the
federal district and Mexico City had
been granted and that the strikers
had returned to work.
The announcement of the settlement
of these strikes was followed, how
ever by dispatches saying that all
cotton mill workers in the states of
Vera Cruz, Tlaxcala and Puebla had
declared strike. Widespread walk
out of agricultural workers in the
state of Michiocan also was reported.

CHINA IS FORGING
AHEAD In BUSINESS
Most Fertile Field for American En-
terprise is Presented; Labor
Plentiful.

New York, Sept. 11.-China, for
centuries the nprogressive nation
whose glory was in the past, is forg-
ing ahead in business ways that re-
mind one of aggressive American prog
ress, William P. Bancker, general
purchasing agent Of the Western Elec-
trio Company, declared here today in
a resume of trade Investigations he
had made during six months tour of
the world.
China presents a most fertile field
for American enterprise" he said.
Despite an occasional military effort
by some small minority, that nation is
a. hive of industry. Labor seems
plentiful and, what is more important,
cheap. In fact the latter feature is
so true that capital has a clear way
for productive plans and new fields of
effort.
The Chinese business men, espec-
tally those who have been educated
abroad, are adopting American and
British methods and are forging ahead.
Exchange is working to the advantage
of China because of the rise in value
of silver bullion, which works to the
benefit of the big republic in its posi-
ton in other countries"
India, ancient land of mystery also
is making big strikes commercially,
with Americans there as in other far
eastern territory laying foundations
for future trade, Mr.. Bancker said.
The Hindoo is beginning to make
himself an important factor in bust
L
adding:
at is remarkable how the average
Asiatic as a result of foreign educa-
tional processes seems to be losing his
reputation for self effacing conserva-
tism. Today you find him in posi-
tions of Importance, competing with
all sorts of foreign conditions
Reverting to China, Mr.. Bancker
said:
Zone fact that Americans have to
their advantage in China is the boy
colt which exists against Japanese
and Germans relations. The combined
Chinese Chambers of Commerce have
gone on record as declaring a 10-year
boycott against Germany and because
of racial differences it is very i'm
really strong foothold. Australia
has been quick to jump into this
breachFand is now supplying quantities
of foodstuffs which the Chinese use,
but if we can promise any kind of a
delivery and that is the really impor-
tant condition which every one abroad
is insisting upon nowadays, we slGuld
have no trouble in establishing firm
trading relations.
There is a certain sales PHYSIOLOGY
which must be remembered when
dealing with the Chinaman and that
is his respect for tradition. One for
eign importer found himself unable for
a time to dispose of a shipment of
fruits which came in yellow colored
cans, yellow being associated in China
with death, while on the other hand
it has been found that goods cloaked
in red, the symbol Of luck are in eager

NEW YORK, Jan. Possibility Of
his return to Washington as British
ambassador to the United States was
indicated in statement made here
today by Viscount Grey of FaIlodon,
prior to his departure for London
aboard the steamship AdrIatic on
what he described as "a leave of

panied by his official staff, came

bassador September 81 last. At the
time it was said the length of his
stay was uncertain. In view of his
statement before sailing, it was con-
sidered probable he would return to
Washington in the same capacity as
soon as pressing matters at home
permitted. 1t was understood when
he arrived that he came here not
only as ambassador, but on a special
mission to discuss with President
Wilson provisions of the peace treaty
and other subjects. The presidents

4. B. { 4. OFFICERS
Do NOT WANT To
SCRAP THE ROAD

That the officers and directors of
the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic
railway, representing the owners OF
2 large ma jority of the second mort
gage Cor income) bonds of the road.
10 noa approve the suggestion of
sCrapping the road and selling it in
the open market, but wish to con-
tinue the road in operation and will!
make evary possible effort to that
end, was the statement made Friday
| 70 TIL, Journal by Brooks Morgan,
vice president.
1t is true, he stated, that the road
had an operating deficit of $780,
{ 900 in 1919. and also true that it
has not paid any interest in eight
cen months on it's second mortg3g &c
| bonds, but nevertheless the officers
| believe the road will be able to get
on it's feet through financial as
! sistance from the government as
contemplated by the Cummins bill
! now pending in congress.
The "~1T r~0resents an investment
in round figures of $35,0O0OOO put
Iup by the holders of the common
sock. This stock has never paid
any dividends. The Indebtedness Of
| the road consists of 100000 of
first mortgage bonds, owned largely
in the south, some of them owned in
Atlanta, bearing 5 per cent interest,
1t is estimated that the scrap val
lie of the road is at least $4,000, 0O9
consisting of valuable real estate in
Atlanta, Birmingham, Jacksonville
.Bruns wick and Waycross; fine
equipment Of locomotives, freight
cars and passenger coaches; 500 miles
of rail, most of which is eighty-pound
steel; miscellaneous equipment and
supplies.
In view of the fact that the road
lost $1,5OO,000 in 1919, the fact thai
the stockholders put up $4500,000 to
take the second mortgage bond issue
and remove it from the hands of a
receiver in 1915, the fact that the
stock has never paid dividend and
the fact that the second mortgage
bords have failed to pay interest for
eighteen months, the suggestion has
been advanced that the road should
be 3crapped and the proceeds used
to pay off the total bonds Of $780,
coo, as we'll as partially reimbursins
the stockholders if there should be
surplus.
This suggestion, according to Vice
President Morgan, emanates from
certain second mortgage bondho1ders
who are getting nervous as the time
approaches for the federal govern
, ment to turn back the railroads,
thereby withdrawing the financial
support which has sustained them
during the period Of federal opera
ton.
But the holders of a majority of
the second mortgage bonds, accord.
ing to Mr.. Morgan, are opposed to
this suggestion and wish to continue
operating the road, as they believe
the Legislation enacted by congress
for the return of the roads will
make provision for extending finan-
cial aid over a period enabling them
to overcome the extraordinary present
costs of operation. p
