LABOR SITUATION
GREAT HANDICAP.

Though still badly handicapped by
labor shortage in a score of centers,
some slight improvement was noted ia
reports 10 the commission showing the
traffic jams are being penetrated and
Idle equipment extricated for movement
st points where most needed.
There were encouraging reports of
idle cars in all yards, as a result of
orders directing the movement OF solid
trains of empties east and west.
The labor situation which IS more
serious than rail officials are willing to
admit, is attributed almost wholly to the
recent switchmen's strike
The situation on the New York
Central and the Erie. where the short
age Of labor is still very acute, has
proved embarrassing to other connecting
lines, il was said at the commission.
WORKMERS CLAIM
OFFICIALS HOSTILE.
The workers who went out on these
. lines have set up their claim that the
Aads have declined to restore seniority
rights 10 men willing to return, and say
they viii remain out because of the hos
tility manifested by the directing of
hcials of those lines.
Some early decision was expected at
the commission on the question OF pos
Eible curtailment of passenger service
until the freight congestion is cleared
at the larger terminals.

Herrera was formerly the leader Of q
rebel band known as Pellcistas.
He surrendered to the government sey-
eral months ago.
Several colums of Obregonista troops
are reported to be in pursuit Of Herrera
While reports as to the skrmish near
Tlaxcoapan differed as to details, all
agreed that Carranza had been killed.
According TO one report all the rer-
sons in Carranza's immediate party were
put TO death.
The first news of Carranza's death was
ontained in message which said thas
the fight had taken place near Hnachtn-
ango, in the state of Puebla.
This was quickly followed by other
reports 10 Obregon's headquarters which
indicated that Herrera had attacked the
Carranzistas to obtain the money they
were carrying and not from political me-
tives.
CARRANZA FLED
CAPITAL MAY 6.
As Luis Cabrera, former minister Of
interior, and Bonillas were known to
be with Carranza it is believed that
both were killed by Herreras rebels.
Carranza. accompanied by his ministers
and a heavy force OF troops, fed from
Mexico City on May 6.
He took with him an immense amount
of gold and silver money and bullion,
considerable quantity of which was
Fetaken by the revolutionary troops uN-
der Gen, Sanchez after the battle at
San Marcos on the Vera CruZ-Mexico City
railway.

the army united in oustinG Carranza,
continued the proclamation.
Gen. Obregon accused the ex-president
Of creating a dictatorship and violating
the constitution By atten,Vting to make
Bonillas president of the republic.
PLEDGES EFFORT
TO WIN OVER L. S.
The proclamation added:
LAS soon as a provisional president is
appointed by congress I (Gen. Obregon)
will resume my political campaign for
the presidency, and in case I am elected
will devote all my efforts TO strengthen
the friendship with all countries on the
American continent, especially the United
States
II viii do everything IN my power
to eliminate entirely the existing DIM
cuIties between the people of Mexico
and those of the United statee."
A group OF prominent lawyers has sst
to work studying problems growing out
Of the revolution.
They declare the uprising did not vfe-
ls to the Mexican constitution, because
Carranza had already proclaimed him
self dictator in defiance of the eonstS-
tuition.
The lawyers assert that Carranza ana
his advisers were responsible for the
revolution.
This pronouncement by the lawyers
was issued before news Of Carranza'a
death had been received in the capitss,
as they had decided that the fugitive
president should be prosecuted II cap

URGES BRITAIN
TO GET BEHIND
WORLD LEAGUE
Lord Robert Cecil, Secretary,
Makes Ardent Plea in
Interview.

LONDON, May 22.--An ardent plea for
the league Of nations In which he pointed
out the growing distrust Of the British
government" both at home and abroad
was made today by Lord Robert Cecil,
NJ. P. and executive secretary for the
league.
Lord Robert. who has been one OF the
strongest European supporters OF the
league of nations since the idea took
form in the peace conference, declared
that the masses are firmly behind the
proposal for q society Of nations, even
though the workers did not succeed in
getting everything they wanted into the
covenant.
The statesman admitted that the league
of nations could not prevent war under
present conditions, but he said the ma
chinery should have been utilized in an
effort 10 prevent the present hostiiities
between Russia and Poland.
CALLS on BRITAIN
TO LEAD WORLD"
He called upon the British government
TO put the strength Of the empire be-
hind the league and thus lead the
world"
Lord Roberts statement follows:
Il am profoundly convinced that the
present league OF nations is quite IN
effective for the purpose for which 1t
was formed. namely, the prevention Of
war.
But that does not mean that 1t can
not be made effective.
II think II could be.
But IL must be worked out and en-.
forced by people who believe in II.
Failure to utilize the machinery OF
the league for the prevention of hos
tilities between Poland and bolshevik
Russia was most serious.
Il sec no reason why the league ma
chlnery should not have been put 70
ts proper use this spring
1T may well be that the opportunity
Is now past.
Talk shout the league being power
less Is really fantastic.
Poland and Russia both urgently
reed economic relations with the pow
ers forming the league council.
"Tt Is manifest that the nations that
consent TO these relations VIII give tAs
league lever Of immense power.
att Is no answer to say that Russia
refused TO receive the investigating com
mission which TIE league OF nations pro,
posed 70 send into that country,
Il doubt IL that IS the true construo
tion that should have been put uPoa

lions TO Russia.

whether. In order 20 re-estahlish Rus

when he assumed leadership of the north
ern revolutionary forces that set out TO
depose Dictator Vitoranio Huerta IN
1918
With the assistance of the rebel bands
Of Zapata and villa. the Carranistas
waged relentless waretare against the
troops supporting Huerta.
In July, 1914, Huerta resigned and fed
from Mexico and the revolutionists
entered Mexico City.

PRESIDENCY IN 1917.
Carranza proclaimed himself first chief
of the constitutionalists in 1914 and ruled
the Mexican republic from Mexico city
and Queretaro until May, 1917, when he
was regularly elected.
His term expired this year and one OF
the chief causes Of the insurrection
against him was his determined effort to
make Ygnacio Bonillas, former Mexican
ambassador to the United States, his
successor
Carranza belonged TO the wealthy land
owing class in Mexico, although he aIs
ways classed himself as q democrat.
WAS SUPPORTER
OF MADERo REGIME.
He studied law but on account OF
afflicted eyesight he could not forego the
courts.
After the overthrow of the Diaz regime
Carranza supported Francisco Madero
and was appointed minister of war in
cne of the Madero cabinets
Pictures of Carranza, with his flow
ing beard. spectacles and lanky statue,
have made his appearance familiar to
Americans.
He was described as dignihed and
taciturn, extremely stubborn once he had
made up his mind.
His stubbornness was shown in his
attitude of unbending hostilities to
Americans because he had conceived the
idea the American capitalists were try-
ing to subjugate his country.
