GALES is NOT LOSING
GROUND, GOVERNOR SAYS

Nogales, AriZ. April 15.-Gover-
nor Adolfo de la Huerta of Sonora.
in a telegram today to the Nogales
Herald, emphatically denied that
Gen p. Elias Gales was losing
ground with the liberalists in the
state, who were alleged by what
were declared to be Carran2a prop
agandists. to have criticised the
general for precipitating secession
while Gen. Alvaro Obregon was in
the peril zone of Mexico.
The telegram said:
General Gales. to whom | have
today issued his commission as
general of division and as chief of
the forces which will defend the
sovereignty of the state. was the
first one who offered his services
to this government. complying with
his duty as Mexican citizen, a
Sonoran and a revolutionist. This
government has implicit trust and
faith in his integrity and loyalty
and any rumors to the effect that
he is suspected of having precipi-
tated political condition which
endangered the life or liberty of
General Obregon is entirely un-
founded.
The attitude assumed by the
federal state has been brought on
by the central government"

SONORA TROOPS LEAVE
FOR SINAL0A BORDER

tBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiegl
Nogales, Sonora. April 1.-TWO
bodies of state troops left Hermo-
sillo this morning. one for the SIN
aloa border. the other for the Chi
huahua line. according to A. c..
Cardenas. publisher of La Nacional,
who has returned from the sonora
capital. These forces were dis
patched to the border for defensive
purposes onlv and if engaged 1t
will be because they are assalled,
he said.
Senior Cardenas said Governor
De La Huerta wished again to en-
phasize that the Independent state
of Sonora is not a republic, but an
entity of the rephblic of Mexico,
which is assailing not the central
government but the autocratic
stand taken bv President Carranza
in sending troops into sonora
against the request of the state
government
No war has been declared on
any one. Cardenas said in connec-
tion with the troops movements to-
ward Sinaloa, The motive behind

No ENLARGEMENT
SANTA f SHOPS
IS AUTHORIZED

1t was rumored yesterday that
the Santa Fe Railroad company
had made a large appropriation for
enlarging the local shops and max
ing other improvements at this
terminal. Local officials who were
communicated with claimed to
know nothing about the matter, so
the Journal wired r. J. Parker,
general manager Amarillo, Tex,
who has charge of this territory.
He replied as follows:
There are no late developments
in the construction of additional
shops and appropriation has not
been made"
The proposal to enlarge the
shops has been under consideration
for two years or more. but on ac-
count of the war and the roads
being under federal control the
project was not carried through.
The last official statements was to
the effect that there would be lit
tie or not improvement work done
until the roads were returned to
private ownership and time enough
had elapsed for the management to
check UP and determine the condi-
ton of the properties and the
roads financial status.

San Francisco, Calf, April Is
Improvement in the railway strike
situation in Pacific coast states ex-
cept at Los Angeles, was announced
tonight by railway officials, but
strike leaders said conditions at
many points indicated the strike
was far from being broken.
At Los Angeles It was said
Southern Pacific hrakemen and
conductors failed to respond to

Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers who voted last night to re-
main on duty did so with the pro-
viso that the railways would re-

Strike Situation
in Tabloid Form
for Busy Readers

Railroad officials have thrown
down the gauntlet to their striking
employees.
Supported by the federal govern
ment's contention that the strike
which for the past week has party
demoralized the freight and passen-
ger service of the country, was
planned by radical agitators with
Interior motives, six railroads in
Columbus, o., have refused out
right to deal with the yardmens 5
association, which is conducting
the strike in their territory.
In New York, railroad executives,
warned the representatives of the
railway brotherhoods that they
would be given until noon Satur-
day to get their men back to work
If the strikers are not back by that
time, the railway managers an
nounced, they would open their
books for a period of twenty-four
hours to register men acceptable
for unemployment, reservlng the
right to refuse to reinstate those
who by their actions and utteranceS
have shown "unfitness for further
service"
Drastic action also has been
taken by governmental agencies. In
Chicago, twenty-five leaders of the
insurgent switchmen, including
John Grunau, whose dismissal
started the flood of railroad mems
walkouts, were under arrest last
night on charges of having violated
the Lever food act. Two hundred
additional warrants were expected.
Federal prosecutors in other sec
tions continued to accumulate eVi-
dence against strike leaders and
more arrests are expected Wlthln
the next "a hours.
Meanwhile, members of the new
ly created labor board, whose nom
nations were confirmed yesterday
by the senate, have been summon
ed by President Wilson to meet IN
Washington today and organize.
Small defections in the strikers
ranks continued yesterday with the
main body of strikers in territory
east of Chicago and north OF Pitts
burgh holding firm. Railroads en-
tering New York were fast resum-
ing normal passenger service put
freight service in the east, while
showing signs of Improvement, was
still disorganized,
Feight embargOes. are beginning
to have a serious effect upon indus
try, especially in the east, where
shortage of coal and raw material
has resulted in the shut down of
several factories and mills, throw
ing thousands of men out of work.
The food situation continues seri-
Gus but no where are there reports
of famine conditions.
Military train crews have been
pressed into service to move gov
ernment supplies stalled in north
ern New Jersey terminals and sid
ings. Bodies of soldier dead, arriv-
ing from abroad, also will be moved
in trains manned by soldiers. Mo-
tor trucks are still, being utilized to
move civilian food supplies in east
ern territory.
