MEDIATION DECINED

Detroit, April 24.-Striking switch men here today declined the offer of F. c. Hawley, federal conciliation commissioner. of his services in an at- tempt to compose the differences be- tween the strikers and the railroads. according to a statement by MT. Hawley tonight.
 The mediator said he had an agree ment, signed by local railroad officials, that the men would be reinstated with their former standing if they would return to work in a body. This fact was made known to the switchmen, he said, but when he attempted to ad- dress the strikers meeting this after noon, he was told he would not be re- ceived. The objection. as explained to him, MT. Hawley said was that he had induced the Buffalo strikers to return to work a week ago on similar terms
 No statement was issued by strike headquarters tonight. MT. Hawley said he would make another attempt Monday to end the walk tout
 Railroad officials said the situation in local yards was practically un- changed.

Bradley, Saturday afternoon announced that tfe appointment of statewide storm re- lief committee and the setting of the total amount which would be needed would not be done until Monday. Sur veys of the district had not been com rleted Saturday afternoon and this caused a further postponement in the completion of the plans.

 Members of the finance committee are prepared to distribute all funds in accordance with the needs of the

 The officers of the several organ nations concerned. continued the statement. regret the action taken by the men has seriously inconvenienced the public and plunged the men into the situation may result in loss of position and previous standing.
 However. it added, inasmuch as they left the service without author .ty the action must be regarded as 1r violation of the laws of the sew eral organizations concerned and makes impossible any effective organ ization effort in their behalf
 Tt, therefore, appears that the next step in the matter must be taken by the men themselves, and when again in the service, should any grievance exist, same can be referred to the properly accredited committee of the organization to which the man or men having the grievances belong, and same can then be considered on their merit. and under the provisions of schedules in effect"

Agua Prieta, Aprll z4.--Ine Cdrrdnzd
 administration in Mexico is corrupt,
 and officials unpopular with Carranza,
 but elected by popular vote. have been ousted by the military in several states, who have practiced the utmost brutal ity. according to charges made here by Gen. r. Elias Gales. commander of the revolutionary forces of Sonora, in a statement issued here today.
 The Sonora revolutionary army under Gen. Angel Flores has progressed twen- ty miles beyond Culiacan, capital of Sl- naloa. according to information given out tonight at the headquarters here of General Gales
 When the wording of the Plan of Agua Prieta" was being debated by the signers. according to General Gales, two opinions arose as to the method of establishing the supreme commandery of the movement. Some argued the or flee should be definitely assumed by the governor of Sonora, with a view or maintaining unity of command and strengthening the principle of au- thority, while others, led by General Gales, argued Gov. De La Huerta should only be supreme commander until del- Iegates of the governors recognizing the plan were able to meet and nominate a commander of their own choice.
 General Gales argued, he said, that strength would be given the movement if a free choice were given all the back CTS of the movement
 Our movement" said General Gales, lis indeed for true civil government and protests against the military abuses Of Carranza. who is useleesly trying to cloak his coterie with a burlesque or false democratic government; there fore, it is not the military leaders who signed and sustain this plan who should impose a supreme commander for the movement. Our way is that of lawful ness, and we have parted for all time with the way of our historical coups d. etat when the leader of a revolution- ary movement was nominated by the first soldiers to take up arms"
