Springfield, H., May Utilities

uation,' Chairman J. H. WilkersOn
of the Illinois public utilities COM
mission, declared at the opening OF
a meeting called by the commission
today to consider the financial sit

corporations.

companies were finding it neces-
sary to pay as high as 5 per cent
interest on first mortgage notes,
and that as these were the best
possible security the companies had
to offer. undoubtedly higher rate
of interest would be necessary in
borrowing money where the secar-
ity was not so good. Mr.. Bloom
said it was impossible for the util-
! ity companies TO compete either in
the money or labor market with
unregulated concerns.

BEGINS At new
BEDFORD MILLS

New Bedford, Mass, May 3.-A
strike of approximately 10000
operatives went into effect at 81
cotton cloth mills in this city to-
day. The walkout was occasioned
by the posting of notices relative to
working conditions for the loom
fixers, who were required to oper-
ate more looms than formerly.
The loom fixers struck several
weeks ago and their protest re-
ceived the support of the textile
council which ordered today's gen.
eral strike.
The cloth mills affected are oper-
ated by IS corporations with a
weekly payroll of 1857 600 and hav-
ing 50,317 looms and 1.926.6s2

J. S. Loses Valuable Aide By Salsedo Suicide
Continued DeSerfiOt1S
Put Carranza in CrQue
Plight for Overthrow

I with the Obregonistas. Between
that state and the region around
Mexico City Zapatistas are active.
Different elements in Oaxaca,
! Chiapas and TabascO have declar-
ed their independence of Carranza,
although they have not definitely
allied themselves with Obregon. A
revolt has occurred near the city
OF Puebla, capital of the state Of
the same name, and fighting al
ready has taken place in that sec
| ton.
Diaz ut Vera Cruz.
Vera Cruz, in its central and
southern districts. is the scene Of
operations by rebels under Felix
Diaz. To the north, Arnulfo Co
mez. who recently deserted his Car
rama command, and Manuel Pc
laez. bandit Of the oil fields" are
: seeking to Join forces in the re-
gion of Tuxpam and Tampico. The
| governor of Zacatecas has deserted
his post, it is reported. and started
westward with a body of troops.
Farther moth the government has
found it difficult TO maintain com
munication between Monterey and
| Tampico. while in the northern
part of Tamaulipas General Juan
Almazan, an Independent rebel
leader. is threatening ReynOza, near
near the Texas border.
Bandit activities are also re-
ported from Durango. In Chihua-
hua Francisco Villa has taken ad-
vantage Of the unsettled condition
to enlarge his force.
ObregOn Seeks Union.
General Obregon, now believed to
be in the state of Michpacan. is re-
ported organizing his forces with
a view of effecting a union with
Sonora troops proceeding south
ward through Sinaloa With this
accomplished. it is declared that
Obregon's strategy calls for drive
on Mexico City from the west.
Reckoning on the psychological ef-
feet, he would follow the route he
traversed triumphantly in 1915,
when he occupied the capital for
Carranza.
! 1t is declared in some sources,
| however. that such military action
would be unnecessary-that Car
ranza's strength is weakening so
rapidly his enemies will succeed in
ejecting him peacefully.
The extremely grave conditions
which prevail in Mexico's interior
are reflected in all forms of life in
Mexico City, say travellers arriving
here. Business has suffered Sc
tvere slump, credits are no longer
Iextended, both Americans and Mex
leans are sending their money out
of the country, and the govern
ment, pressed by military expend-
itures on every hand, is facing a
financial crisis.
Fear Of another serious upheav-
al, however, is mitigated by the be-
lief that Carranza, recognizing the
growing strength of his opponents
may withdraw from Office or ac-
cede to their demands, without a
dangerous clash Of arms.

THINKS MEXICO
WOULD ACCEPT
AMERICAN AID
Senator Fall Says They're
for Anything to Beat
Carranza.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argusl

Washington, May 3.-Senator
Fall of New Mexico, head of the
subcommittee Of the senate which
has for several months been in
vestigating the Mexican situation,
is back in Washington with his re-
port virtually complete. He has
just spent many weeks on the
border and brings back with him
an interesting picture of condi-
tons across the Rio Grande as OBJ
talned from Mexicans and Ameri-
cans, some of whom testified pub
licly and others privately.
Il am not surprised" said Sena-
tor Fall, lat the outbreak in Mex
leo. l did not, however, expect the
revolt to come SO soon. OF course,
| never believed there would be an
election this year even in the Mexi-
can sense. . The various leaders in
the different states which have at
no time recognized the Carranza
government are quick to take ad-
vantage of the outbreak N Sonora
and the result is that throughout
the republic with few exceptions
the country is in revolution.
81 think that had the senate
passed my resolution and had our
government Withdrawn recognition
from the CarranZa government as
| proposed several months ago, we
would be now in a better position
to deal fairly with all factions. The
Carranza government wouldn't stay
in power "a hours if we withdrew
recognition"
Has No Preferences.
The senator was asked if he had
any preferences among the Mexi-
can leaders.
Il have none." was his reply "If
General Obregon or even Carranza
himself we're to enter into an
agreement with our government
guaranteeing the obligations which
we have long seen unfulfilled per-
sonally would not object to our
government helping Mexico
through either one. But we must
not extend recognition again with
out being sure that American in
terests will be fully protected.
Il really believe the people OF
Mexico are so sick and tired OF
revolution that they would well
come American aid. And as be-
tween loans and financial aid by
American private concerns and a
government hoan, l would rather
see our goarnment extend the aid
