Incensed Labor Agitators in
Big Mexican City Urging
Action Against State
ANARCHY THREATENED
Obregon Keeps Out of Fight;
Other Officials Belittle
Reports of Conditions

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 15.-By the
Associated Press)-A desperate stu
alton. which already has cost two
lives from violence, is reported today
at Puebla, where demonstrations
against the state governments alleg-
ed excessive taxes continues.
A majority of the stores have been
closed, bread and milk supplies are
said to be exhausted, and food is
scarce. Street cars are not running,
according to reports, which add that
incensed leaders are exhorting shout
ing throngs to take aggressive action
against the state government.
If reports are true, conditions are
said to be such that proclamation of
martial law may be expected before
night
Another appeal for relief was des-
patched by Puebla business men to
President Obregon yesterday, but the
president is not known to have direct
ed anw measures looking to that end.
Federal officials here, including Pres
ident Obregon, apparently regard the
protest against the Puebia tax law,
with it's accompanying industrial par
alyss, as more drastic than the facts
warrant. Under Secretary of the In
terror Lugo, who is acting secretary
in the absence of Secretary Gales, TO-
day declared the people of Puebla
were making mountains out of mole
hills"
On the other hand, travellers from
Puebla assert the situation is almost
anarchical and that the police fire.
uuently are called on to use clubs and
nistols. Other towns in Puebla state
are becoming infected with the spirit
of revolt, they declared, and numer-
Gus raids on markets and grocery
stores are recorded.

CHICAGO, Oct 15.- Judge Harry

no cause for action and denied it the

The city brought identical suits
against the Tribune and Chicago Dai-

nrinted false statements regarding
Chicago's financial standing and
thereby injured the city's credit.
Judge Fisher said that the case in
which the city of Manchester, Eng
land, sued in 1891, was of no value In
this case because. while the English

could not have been considered in
