pie at Detroit is to be started imme-
diately, Frank X. Martel, business

"Reservolrs Of Labor.n

In New York recently the commits

amount of perceptible unemployment

were reducing forces or closing up
was Cue to the reservoirs of labor

there was a period this summer when

The morality Of the border states

Mr.. Pesqueira is said to have
pointed out to the president the de-

While Juarez and other border
cities came in for Mr.. Pesqueira's
censure, he laid particular stress on
the conditions prevailing in Lower

the towns Of Tia Juana and Mexicali.
