MUNITION MACHINES
FOR MEXICO CAN Be
STOPPED BY WILSON
Rv The Associated Press

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Mar. 90
Expectation TO Mexico of machinery
for the manufacture Of arms and am
munition can be stopped only by the
exercise of war powers still vested in
the president, Attorney General Pal
mer held today in an opinion sought
by the state department.
Mr.. Palmer added that in his opin-
ion the expectation of equipment for
the erection of a munitions making
plant in Mexico would not in itself
afford opportunity for disorder and
domestic violence. While ultimate
use of such machinery might result
in disorders within the present laws
there was no ground for establishing
an embargo, he said.
The state department requested
the opinion on the ground that a
question can be raised in this con-
nection with the proposed establish
ment Of a munitions plant in Central
Mexico.

OFFICIAL WORD

STILL LACKING
Governmental Confirmation Is
Withheld ON Report of
Refusal to Issue

MEXICO CITY, March 20.-Al-
though Excelsior published story
March Ia stating that the Mexican
consuls had been instructed to refuse
TO wise passports of members of the
Association for tn e Protection of
American Rights in Mexico, quoting
high officials in the foreign office as
authority, nothing has since been Civ
en- out officially. The absence Of Off
cial statements in this connection and
of official statements on previous de-
cisions involving important govern
mental acts Of international signifi-
cance are being interpreted as show
ing the governments purpose to allow
the actions TO speak for themselves.
The Excelsior quoted an Official as
stating that action against members
of the association had been taken be-
cause full report to the government
showed the organization was actively
anti-government Moreover, il added,
foreign residents connected with the
association were being carefully
watched, subject to expulsion should
their actions warrant
Likewise without official confirma-
tion FL Democreta later printed a
story that instructions sent to Mexi-
can consuls ordering them not to wise
passports Of foreigners who testified
against Mexico before the Fall COM
mittee Of the United States senate
were only the first steps in formation
of a Mexican blacklist"
III Democrcta admits, however. that
nothing warranting the statements
had been given out officially, while
the American consul general had not
been advised that such instructions
had been carried out This newspaper
also asserts that the government is
planning 10 prevent foreigners thus
blacklisted for passports from engag-
ing in any any business involving
Mexican interests.

Recommendation by President Will

of industrial unrest were attacked to-
day by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation Of Labor
The labor leader in a prepared
statement said the machinery for adj
iusting disputes between employees
and employers (which has for years
been in existence in principally every
organized industry in the United
States is superior to the machinery
now suggested by the industrial con-
ference, both in point Of simplicity
and in point Of effectiveness.

posed Of national industrial board
and local and regional conferences
and boards Of inquiry. The whole
situation in this respect may be sum-
med up as follows:
Tested Machinery Exists.
Tried and tested machinery for
conciliation and arbitration between
employers and employees exists wher-
ever employees are organized.
This machinery functions perfectly
wherever employers forsake the spirit
of dominance and the attitude of
autocracy.
Through the use of this machinery
it has been found possible to maintain
industrial peace with no stoppage Of
work Of any kind for periods ranging
from ten TO forty years. No machin-
cry devised by the government OF its
agencies, or supervised by the gov
ernment or any Of its agencies. could
achieve results superior TO the results
achieved by the machinery which has
long been in operation in our indus
trial life.
No Cure for Unorganized.

are not organized no machinery of
any kind. whether supervised by gov
ernmental agencies or otherwise, can
produce industrial justice. Organiza-

which must be predicated the exist
