Construed as Recognition De Faeto
Govt.
Washington, April 30-Official ad-
vices today from various parts of
Mexico indicate a steady growth of
the revolutionary movement and
rapid coordination with the Sonora
revolt of many of the rebel bands
which have been operating independ-
emily. The possibility of Gen. Obre-
gon taking the field in person for an
attack on Mexico City, was forecast
in these reports which said that the
rebels of Michoacan, Guerrero and
Morelos had declared themselves
unit of the Sonora army.
Americans doing business in the
state of Sonora and other parts of
Mexico controlled by the revolution
lists have been authorized to pay
taxes and customs duties to the De.
acto authorities.
This authorization, it was ex-
planned today at the state depart
ment, is in accordance with a recog-
nized principle of international law
and does not amount to recogni-
ton of a De acto government. The
principle has been observed on sew
eral occasions in Mexico, notably
when the Carranza revolution start
ed and his forces obtained control of
the ports. Inability of the recog- 1
nized government Of Mexico to COL
Iect duties and taxes in territory held
by the revolutionists, it was said,
cannot be permitted to interfere with
regular commercial transactions.
he state department received in
formation today on conditions in
Vera Cruz from an American in that
city. The report urged warships be
kept in readiness for dispatch to
Vera Cruz should the need arise. AL
though Vera Cruz was said to be
quiet, possibilities of trouble there ,
were described as great.

 FAST APPROACHING

 On top of this labor suspension is tie growing scarcity of food supplies in many cities.
 Coal supplies in many cities are running low and some utilities are curtailing their service. The Colum- tus Railway, Power and Light Com iany reports coal to last only until Saturday. The Columbus Delaware and Marion Traction Company cut service ln half today.
 Practically every coal mine is sus- pended, owing to inability to obtain cars. and it is estimated that 51,000 miners are idle. Supplies of gasoline are running low in most cities and plans are being made to conserve the supply for trucks to be operated in food supplies. The Co., lumbus Merchants and Jobbers' Asso- ciation today voted to request state and city officials in Ohio to issue proc iamations for curtailment of the use rs pleasure motor cars. Mayor Thomas If Columbus immediately issued an ap- zeal to owners of automobiles to save gasoline wherever possible.

 PROSECUTION FORECAST
 The department moved further to- cay in the direction of prosecution of strike leaders by requesting the ex ecutives of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads to furnish it with the names of all men on strike and to designate those who apparently were dirccting it.
 In discussing this action, Mir. Palmer explained that conditions were not the same on all roads and added that "the influences behind the strike must be ascertained"
 He would not say what use would he made of the names, but other off, i.cials said they would furnish vaiu- able comparisons in department rec ords of known radicals, I. w W. and sevolutionaries
 It was understood that similar re- quests might be sent to other railroad officials later although this action also awaited a determination of the government policy.
 Assistant Attorney General Garvan caid the department had evidence of elp for the strikers being sent from Canada, but did not know the extent of this aid. Labor leaders of the L w. w. type, he said. had been traced from Canadian boundary cities to the various trouble centers here. Their principal efforts seemed to be to break he ranks of loyal shop workers. re- ports at the department said
 The question of the source of the funds with which the strike is being carried cn has presented the most diff ficult problem before the department. Thus far agents have succeeded in de- termining only that sufficient money is available to finance the movement and to continue the spread of "one big union' doctrines. It is believed however. that some of this money was furnished by groups formerly con nected with the communist and com runist labor parties against which the government conducted nationwide aids last winter
 Dispatches from New Orleans told of plans of the United States district attorney to arrest leaders of threat- ened strike of railroad yardmen there. Mir. Garvan, while declaring there had been no specific instructions sent to any district attorney as to tho strike. added that all of them were expected to deal sharply with specific cases Of law violation on their own initiative. The New Orleans case. he said, indicated a strike probably could not be called without violation of the Lever food control act by the cutting eff of food shipments there.
