"0IL LOBBY" WARNING
TO STATE Department
Effort Seen to Befog Government
Regarding Mexican
Affairs.

Warming has been given to the
State Department that powerful oil
lobby, which has been influential in
American politics, is now being main
tanned here with the purpose of en-
broiling the United States in Next
can politics. Those who are seeking
to expose this lobby claim that the
oil interests in the United States are
at variance on the policy that should
be adopted with regard to Mexican
affairs. 1t is claimed that several of
the most important oil interests in
this country are now financing the
Obregon campaign and that part of
that campaign is to buy off tenn
porarily other dissatisfied interests
In that way a condition of seeming
tranquility will be secured.
The purpose of this powerful oil
lobby it is pointed out in warning
to the state Department and to men,
bers of Congress, is to endeavor to
have the United States recognize
Some of the important government
officials who have been in closest
touch with the oil affairs and with
Mexican politics say unofficially that
the State Department is not being
deceived by any pseudo-tranquillity
nized that as soon as this govern
ment might interfere. all of the local
factions would break loose and vent
resentment against this country.
The present attitude of this gov
eminent, it is authoritatively stated
is to keep hands off of Mexico's do
nestle politics. and general denial
is made at the State Department that
the United States has any present in
t. ntion of meddling in way that
would bring reprisal against Ameri-
can lives and property.

DANZIG. August 25.-Although Dam
zig is supposed under the Yer
sailles treaty to operate as Poland
Baltic port, it has ceased to func-
ton in that capacity. Neither the
supplies nor the war materials vitality
necessary for the republic are all
lowed to be transported through the
corridor established after the armi-
stice. This condition, which amounts
to the notification of Polands rights.
is not blamable upon Germany nor
upon the allied commission now sup
posedly in charge here. 1t is due to
the forceful methods of DanZig's rad
zeal laborers. who hold the whip hand
and refuse to handle cargoes con-
signed through this port for Poland
because they claim that the supplies
are used in waging a war to which
they are opposed.
The laborers' council has extended
the Interpretation of war materials"
to include LOO Poles returning from
America. some with American pass
ports. claiming that the males may
become combatants. All of the male
immigrants are now held in an old
munitions depot. 1t is possible that
the workmen may extend the en-
barge to fpodstuffs which are still
aboard American ships lying idle in
Danzig harbor
Germans Hate Poland
Throughout DanZig there is bitter
hatred of the Poles. In view of the
fact that the population is wholly
German and devoted to Germany's
interests. il is perhaps not unnatural.
This bitter hatred. which is boiling
continually under the surface, pre-
Sents the allied commission from
taking drastic measures for fear of
widespread disorders. So while Dan

COAL STRIKE THREAT
HOLDS BRITAIN TENSE
Boy Miners, Hoping to Get Vaca'
ton, Appear Able to Force
Shutdown.

LONDON, August 2S.-The threat
ened strike of coal miners continues
| to engross the attention of the news
papers and the public The balloting
in South Wales on the question
of whether the men shall strike has
virtually been concluded. The result
of the balloting as announced early
today is as follows: In favor of Strik-
ing. 143.471: against striking. 42.0l3.
This gives considerably more than a
two-thrds majority in the South
Wales district in favor of the men
ceaSing work.
The newspapers point out that boy
employees in the mines whose ages
range between fourteen and eighteen
years are voting heavily in favor Of a
strike. According to the Daily Mail
they are believed to have cast seven
of every ten of the votes recorded in
the Scottish coal fields.
These lads" says the Daily Mail.
ARE chiefly influenced by the idea
Of getting a holiday. and so frivolous
is their standpoint that they are seen
organizing sweepstakes on the result
and are betting eXtravagantly among
themselves.
The older men. the newspaper says.
are more reluctant to inf1ict the coun-
try with strike. and that this is espe-
cially true of the English miners. 1t
is asserted by the newspapers that
the strike vote is being swelled by
thousands of aliens. including Rus
sian commupists.
A proposal for mediation will be
made next week at the meeting in
London of the triple alliance" The
transport workers will take the in
itiative in this.
