Oil Men Must Bribe or
Figllt Mexic07,s. Is Ch1ree

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. - Oil COM
panies operating in the Tampico dis
trict must fight Mexicans or bribe
them, Michael H. Spellacy, for many
years in the oil business in Mexico
testified to-day before special ex-
aminer for the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee.
"By bribery l mean that the COM
panies pay officers of the Carranza
government to do what they are re-
quired by law to do," Spelacy said.
He added that many workers would
like to put all facts on the situation
before the United States government,
but were not permitted by the com
panies.
Spellacy declared that the feeling
among Americans in Mexico was that
the government knew ali about the
troubles there and had deliberately
suppressed the facts.
"Americans feel" he continued. chat
they should let the United States know
first hand what is happening, and if
the government won't do anything then
they'll do it themselves. If it is a

imburse Mrs. Douglas After
Hearing Her Plea


When "No. CO., on the calendar of the
Board Of Estimate was called at yes
terday's meeting, and was about to be
passed as routine. q woman stepped up
to the rail before the members of the
board.
"1'm the unfortunate Dorothy Doug

deny me the money earned" she said
Reused to interest by this personal
appeal, the members of the board
looked at their calendars, and found
that Mrs. Douglas, engaged as a con-
fidential inspector in the Department
Of Public Charities, had been denied
$94O due her because she had not been
appointed in accordance with the civil
service law.
Mrs. Douglas told the board that Bird
S. Coler, Charities Commissioner, had
employed her. After working five
months she was paid. but then was
asked to return the money, and COM

Comptroller Craig said he had tried
to get the money for Mrs. Douglas, but
that the Corporation Counsel had ruled
against her.
A resolution then was passed, asking
the Corporation Counsel to go over the
case again, to see whether there were
not some means to pay Mrs. Douglas.
1t was suggested that the Legislature
take the matter in hand or that Mrs.
Douglas be appointed to job and the
money due be tackled on her salary.

British Railway Unions
Abandon Idea of Strike
Conference, After Rejecting Of
fer, Votes to Attempt to
Get Better Terms
Netp York Tribune

LONDON, Jan. 9.--British railway
men decided to-day to abandon the idea
Of threatening an immediate strike, fol-
lowing their recent rejection of the
governments wage offer, and voted in
conference to try to get better terms
from the government. The railway
men indicated almost unanimous OBJ
lection to the proposal that wages be
reduced in the future as the cost of liv-
ing goes down.
BY to-day's decieion the settlement
of the railway controversy has been
postponed until next month. During
February other important labor mat
ters will come to head. All sections
special trade union congress to be held
in March, to consider supporting ma
tionalization Of the mines by q general
strike.
Possibility was expressed to-day that
the settlement Of the railway contro-
versy might synchronize with the meet
ing of the special conference, and that
the grievances Of the transport workers
and the demands of the miners for in
creased wages might come up for set
Element at the same time.
The miners are now insisting that
the wage settlement they accepted, on
the assurance that the industry was un-
able to stand further strain, no longer
holds good, in the face Of the great in
crease in profits in the export trade.
They point out that the exports for
December, 1919, were nearly 100000
tons, at about SIG ton, against only
just over 100000 for the correspond
ing month in 1918, at about So q ton.
The restive transport workers, under
the fiery leadership of Robert Williams,
are now demanding minimum daily
wage of So, and the dissatisfied iron
molders complete England's catalogue
Of labor unrest. The molders' de-
cision to continue striking, after fifteen
weeks of idleness, means that the
paralysis of the engineering trade is to
be continued indefinitely.

Carranza Troops
Killed Americans.
Washington Is Told
Earle Boles and F. ]. Roney
Shot With Rifles Used by
Mexican Federals, State
Department Is Informed
Ne.o York Tribune
WASHINGTON BNrsnu

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Evidence
that Earle Boles and F. J. Roney, two
Americans recently reported killed in
Mexico, were willfully murdered was
placed before the State Department TO-
day. The evif ~nce strongly indicated
that the double staying was done by
Carranza soldiers.
The data supplied the department
show that Boles and Roney, accom-
panied by Mexican, left the terminals
of one of the oil companies about $3.50
a. m. on January s in an automobile
and drove to Aqua Dulce, town gar
risoned by Carranza soldiers, where
they borrowed three cases of gasoline.
They started to return to their ter
minal, also garrisoned by Carranza SOL
diers. The two points are said to be
only about three miles apart.
Two hours later the superintendent
Of the oil company found the automo-
bile on the beach with the motor turned
off. Roney's body was lying beside the
car, with two bullets in his chest Boles
was found a few yards away, with the
wound of a Mauser bullet in one of his
feet and bayonet stab in the back of
his shoulder which penetrated his lung.
Officials said the Mauser rife was
the official arm of the Mexican Federal
troops, and this, coupled with the fact
that no forces of rebels against the
Carranza government are known to be
near the oil terminals, indicates that
the crimes were committed by Federal
troopers.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 9-F. J. Roney
and Earle Boles, Americans, who met
death in the Tampico region early this
month, were killed by rebels after hav-
ing. dlsregarded warnings from local
authorities, who advised them not to
venture into lawless regions alone, &C.
cordlng to kilograms from state Of
ficials at Tampico, given out last night
by the Interior Department. They were
shot by outlaws on the seashorc be-
tween camps belonging to the Interna-
tional and Transcontinental Oil COM
panies, it is said.
Advices given out here state that fol-
lowers of General Manuel Pelaez. out
law chief and virtually independent
ruler in that district, had been expect
ing to receive munitions from
steamer at that point on the coast. Ger
tain bandits who were rivals of ad-
herents 'of Pelaez were operating near
the lagoon and lay in wA'it at a point
where they thought the munitions
would be landed, and when Roney and
Boles appeared the rebels believed they
were carrying arms to the Pelaez
forces. Fire was opened upon the two
men, who were killed.
1t is stated government forces are
pursuing the bandits and that the FoY-
eign Office has asked local authorities
for further information regarding the
shooting Of the two Americans.
