100000 ADDED
TO DRY LAW FUND
ENFORCEMENT CHIEF is BIT
TERLY ASSAILED AT SEES
SION OF CONGRESS.
KRAMER LIABLE TO JAIL
DRY ENFORCEMENT HAS COST
SC, 9 1000 FOR CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR.

Washington, May 24.-After heated
discussion of the prohibition question,
during which COMMISSIONS Kramer
WAS bitterly criticized and as vigor-
ously defended, the House voted an
additional S.O0,OOO for enforcement Of
the Nolstcad act until July |.
Representative Nolstead proposed
the increase in the total of the defi-
cheney appropriation bill TO permit
retention on federal pay rolls of 200
prohibition agents who. Mr.. Kramer
had announced, would be dropped for
the remainder of the fiscal year be-
cause of shortage of funds.
The amendment was adopted, - to
IS. less than o|nc-fourlh of the House
membership being present, but an
other vote can be demanded before the
bill is passed.
Even the members who favored the
amendment, however, doubted whether
it would afford relief in time to be of
much value, imlSmuch as the bill after
passage by the House must go Ia the
Senate.
During the wrangling, Chairman
Good of the appropriations committee,
who opposed the Nolstead amendment,
said Mr.. Kramer had violated penal
provisions of law by mourning II de
ficit and had made himself liable to
Jail sentence"
Il want Mr.. Kramer to obey the
law just as much MS b~ootleggers,' he
declared, adding that S6,9OO,OOO had
been appropriated for prohibition en-
forcement during the current fiscal
year.
Mr.. Kramer was defended by Rep
resentative Byrnes, Tennessee, ranking
Democrat 81 the appropriations com
mittee, as IA conscientious official doing
his best to enforce the law.
Mr.. NolStead defended Mr., kramer's
administration. declaring there was no
ground for criticism.
Declaring no estimate for additional
funds for prohibition enforcement had
been submitted to the appropriations
committee. and that no II had ap-
peared before the committee to *
plain the situation, Mr.. Byrnes said
that if the secretary of the treasury
had requested funds he would have
gotten all he wanted.
As the House milled through the de-
f~iciency bin II provision for the crea-
ton of an office of first assistant sec
dietary of the treasury ut n salary OF
$1,000 n year and an amendment pro-
yiding for purchase by the government
of S1O00O0,ON of farm loan bonds
were eliminated on points of order.
One provision approved would per
nit the Treasury Department 10 spend
any part of the SlS,6NO,WU appropri-
ated last session for additional hospi-
tai facilities for disabled service men
in the Improvement of existing facil-
tiles. The original bill provided that
S12. 5OO,00O was To be expended for new
hospitals.

RECOGNITION
TERMS READY
PRESIDENT HARDING OUTLINES
TREATY TERMS FOR PRES.
ENTATIoN TO MEXICO.
MEXICO READY TO SIGN
CONDITIONS BASED ON RECON-
MENDATioNS OF SECRETARY
OF INTERIOR FALL.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington, May 23.-A definite
statement outlining conditions on
which the United States would extend
recognition to the Mexican government
has been prepared for submission to
President Obregon.
Conditions for recognition, it is un-
derstood. are practically identical with
recommendations made by Secretary
Fall in his report To Congress as chair
man of n subcommittee OF the Senate
foreign relations committee.
The communication is said to insist
that Obregon must sign a document
giving assurances that Americans and
their interests will he ~safeguarded in
Mexico before the United States will
consider resumption Of formal rela-
tons.
If such assurances are given, il Is
believed, Henry i. Fletcher, under
secretary Of state, who was ambaSsa-
dor 10 Mexico under Wilson until he
resigned, will he designated to repre-
sent the United States in drafting a
treaty.
The communication contains nothing
which can justify its being character
lied as m ultimatum, but, it is under
stood, Obregon will he left in no doubt
as to the determination OF the Ameri-
can administration TO see that Ameri-
can interests are not indefinitely dis
eliminated against.
Ii is said to have been prepared in
collaboration with Secretary Fall.
Among conditions set forth are:
Elimination of provisions of Articles
ing TO the naturalization of the sub
soil rights insofar as they affect ten
ure of land to which title was OBJ
tanned prior TO the adoption of the
constitution in 1917.
Elimination Of the provisions which
deprive Americans Of the right of dip
lomatic appeal in cases where prop
erty is acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans acquiring and own
ing property within a certain one
along the Mexican coasts and inter
national boundaries.
Assurance that Article 80, providing
for the expulsion Of foreigners. will
not be applied to Americans without
filing charges and opportunity of a
fair trial.
Modification of the provisions gov
erning religious worship in such man.
ner that American clergy shall have
the right TO exercise functions usual
in their denominations.
II Is also suggested that the two
governments agree TO the creation OF
a mixed court for the adjudication OF
claims.
Some optimism is expressed by Of
ficlals regarding Obregon's reception
Of the decision, but in other quarters
the opinion prevails that he may sub
nit counter proposals, and If they are
rejected, refuse to sign.

RAIL WAGES REVISED

UNDER LOWER SCHEDULE.
LEADERS QUIET IN FACE OF AN.
NOUNCEMENT OF COMING
CUT IN WAGES.

Chicago, May 19.-"What will labor
uppermost as Il result of the announce
ment of the United States Railroad
Labor Board that wages of railroad
employees will be revised downward,
effective July /. On the attitude taken
by the labor organizations, observers
declared, hinges the question of peace
IN the railway Industry.
No inkling of their attitude II in
t~entions was forthcoming Wednesday
from leaders of the railroad workers
here. 1t was the evident desire of
the men who have directed labor's
fight to prevent wage cuts To wait un-
Ill the full details of the boards plan
are announced before making definite
statements.
Railroad heads, however, were in
clined to see better times ahead for
the roads as a result of the ruling. In
railway executive circles there also
was manifest Il disposition to await
details before commenting. H.. Il.
Byram, president of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & ST. Paul road, pronounced
the boards statement encouraging"
but said the benefits to be derived
from it by the roads will depend on
the reductions to be made
The announcement of the board de-
clares that, in its judgment, a ire
adjustment downward of wages of
employees of the carriers which are
parties To the disputes already heard
is justified. The board promised to
announce on June l a decision cover
ing these disputes, the decision to be-
come effective July /.
On Monday. June 6, the board will
hear wage reduction cases that have
been filed since April IS, or which
will be filed between now and June 6.
The decision in these disputes also
will be effective July /.
Although no inkling of the extent of
the reduction to be made was given by
the board, il was the general belief
that the wage cuts will aggregate ap-
proXimately II per cent. Cnskilled
employees of the roads will be chiefly
affected. Percentages of increases
granted to skilled workInen by the
boards decision of July 20, 1920, We're
NOT so great. hence il is believed re-
auctions now TO be made will be less.
The advance in pay last July was 20
per cent and amounted TO S6J0,O0O,-
900.
