Galveston, Texas, Dec. THE east
end extension to Galveston's great sea
wall will be completed by Aug. I,
1928, predicts Major L. NJ. Adams. u.

work. To date 9110 feet have been
constructed, while about 1900 feet re-.
main to be built. The project is be-
ing built at the expense of the gov

Comparative figures for the orig

WAGE REDUCTION
WON'T Be ACCEPTED.
"What We Have We win Hold" Says
President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers
lAssociated Press)

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. The
United Mine Workers of America will
not stand for any reduction in wages,
according to the December 1st issue
of the United Mine Workers Journal.
This policy is stated in connection
with a discussion of the movement
among employers throughout the
country for reduction of wages in
the various industries. In the article,
John L. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the miners union, is quoted as
follows:
,"Under no circumstances win we
permit any reduction in the wages Of
the mine workers of the country.
There is not going to be any return
to pre-war wages or conditions. Any
reduction in wages is an economic
mistake. It never produces any good
result. What the mine workers have
today we are going to hold. and we
propose TO continue to make progress
instead of going backward"
The Journal says in part: at is abb
sclutely essential that the union have
a definite and substantial policy and
that the membership shall stand be-
hind that yplicy in solid phalanx. And
the most essential element in that
policy for the next two years must be
that there shall be no backward step.
rHI.r noa1 ,,,;,.o,-- ,,,,,r% ,,ak Ioeo o,,vv -
the things that they have won thru
sacrifice and struggle. It is well
known that there is in the country q
well-defned, highly financed and ably
conducted movement on the part of
employers opposed to trade unionism
TO break down the unions and reduce
tie workers to the open shop, low
wage system. This is one Of the
greatest dangers that now confront
the labor movement.
"The policy of the United Mine
Workers of America on that subject
has been made plain and clear to the
world by President John L. Lewis. He
has said that there shall be no reduc-
tion in the wages of the coal miners
of America.
There is the policy of the United
Mine Workers. In making that state
ment, President Lewis told the world
what the United Mine Workers of
America stood for. It is the unquali-
fed duty of every member of the
union to stand firmly behind the M
ternational officials. To stand back.
to hesitate or to fail to give the in-
ternational officials full support and
co-operation would be an indication Of
division"

INAUGURATION OF
GEN. OBREGON
He Takes the Oath of Office Today,
and is Pledged to a Program
of Social and Civil Reform
,(Associated Prsss)

Mexico City. Dec General Al
varo Obregon, who is being inaugural
ed today as president of. Mexico,
has prefaced his induction into Office
with promises of the. immediate in
stitution of program of social and
civil reform that was said to be the
basis for the revolution last summer,
which ultimately swept him into
power.
He has stated not only to the press
but in several joint conferences with
congress that Mexico must open its
doors TO foreigners of good intent,
must protect foreign capital, must
settle its international obligations-in
other words. must get in tune with
the world.
AS the fundamental basis for this
adjustment he has asserted that Mex
leo must return to normal mode of
living in which petty ambitions of in
dividuals must be submerged and
vital policies of social reform put
into practice.
He recognizes education of the
masses as the real first need and, if
his plans are carried out. schools long
neglected will be opened and school
teachers, long underpaid and in many
cases not paid at all, will be given
employment.
The new president was born in
1880 in the state of Sonora. From
early childhood he was forced to
work for living but he has become
one of the country's. biggest indus
trial men. He~is said to possess con-
siderable wealth.
Revolutions in Mexico within the
past few years made him first mill
tary power in the north, then a
staunch adherent of Carranza whose
succession to the presidency is said te
have been largely due to the military
genius and energy of Obregon. II
was General Obregon who at Zelays
inflicted what is said to be the only
decisive military defeat Francisco
Villa, the bandit, ever. suffered. With
Carranza in power General Obregor
Twas entrusted with many difficult
tasks of reconstruction, occupying
numerous official posts. including
that of minister of war:
