CONDITIONS OUTLINED UPON
WHICH RECOGNITION OBREGON
GOVERNMENT BE CONSIDERED
Will Be Delivered to Mexican
President by Counsellor
of Embassy.
INTERESTS
\ MUST BE SAFEGUARDED
Communication Contains Moth
ing That Can Be COnsid-
cred as Ultimatum.
{sy The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May GA definite
statement outlining the conditions up
on which the United States would ex-
tend recognition to the Obregon gov
ernment Of Mexico has, been prepared
| for submission to President Obregon.
! This statement in the form of a MEM
! orandum, it was said tonight will be
delivered to Obregon by George T.
Summerlin, counsellor Of the American
| embassy at Mexico City, who is ex-
pected to leave for Mexico this week.
He was summoned here a month ago
| by the secretary of state to give first
hand information concerning the sit
uation in that country.
The conditions for recognition, it is
understood are practically i6v ntical
with the recommendations made by
Secretary Fall in his report at the last
session Of congress as chairman of a
sub committee of the senate foreign
relations committee which investigated
the Mexican question.
1t is understood that Obregon must
sign some document giving assurances
that Americans and their interests
will be properly safeguarded in Mexico
before the United States will consider
the resumption of formal relations with
that country. If such assurances are
given, it is believed that Henry p.
Fletcher, under secretary of state, who
was ambassador to Mexico for a time
under the Wilson administration until
he resigned because or disapprovai OF
that Administrations policy toward
Mexico. will be designated to represent
the United States in drafting a treaty.
The communication which Mr.. Sum-
merlin will deliver to General Obregon
contains nothing which can justify its
being characterized as an ultimatum,
but, 1t is understood the Mexican exec
utive will be left in no doubt as to the
determination, of the American ad-
ministration to see that American in
terests are not indefinitely discrimi-
mated against. 1t is said to have been
prepared not only with the knowledge
of Secretary Fall but in collaboration
with him.
Among the conditions set forth are:
Elimination OF those provisions of
article 27. of the Mexican constitution
relating to the NATURALIZATION of the
sub-soil rights insofar as they effect
the tenure Of land to which title wis
OpldiuCo Piiof " atHt duoHliOu VI tile
constitution in 1917.
Elimination Of the provisions which
deprive Americans of the right of dip
lomatic appeal in cases where property
is acquired.
Modification of the provisions which
prevent Americans acquiring and own
ing property within certain zones
along the Mexican coasts and interna-
| tional boundaries.
| Assurance that article 33 Of the con-
stitution providing for the expulsion
of ''pernicious foreigners" will not be
applied to Americans without the fill
ing of charges and the opportunity of a
| fair trial.
| Modification Of the provisions gov
erning religious worship in such man
ner that American clergy shall have

CORNER OF THE LAND, IS PLAN
Samuel. Gompers Announces Or
ganized Campaign of
Labor Be Made.
ssOPEN SHOP" CAMPAIGN
HAS PROVED A FAILURE
Makes Assertion That National
Manufacturers Have so
Confessed.
tBy The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Labor is
about to launch an intensified organized
campaign, President Samuel Gompers
announced tonight, in a statement which
said .'that the message of trade union
ism will be carried to every corner OF
the land to the limit Of our power
''Its encouragement and protection will
be offered to sthe workers everywhere -
he declared, Immediately following the
Denver convention next month, it is my
purpose to visit a number of cities to
encourage the unorganized to join our
movement
Coupled with the announcement was
an assertion by Mr.. Gompers that "con-
fession that the open shop campaign
has proved a failure was made public
May 16 at the annual convention of the
National Association of Manufacturers
held in New York.
The associations committee on indus
trial advancement. he said, protested
against the defensive position into which
and urged that an offensive campaign
be inaugurated and that the ''open shop"
movement be stimulated by plans for
industrial representation.
Having failed by coercive tactics to
force autocracy in industry upon the
workers." he added, t'the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers now propose
to silence them by promising few OF
their representatives seats on boards OF
directors Of the corporations. This would
be empty honor indeed. e
THE hopes and aspirations of labor
cannot be satisfied by the patronizing
act Of patting the workers on the back.
Sincerity of purposes of employers, their
wholehearted interest in their employees
can be shown best in the contents of pay
envelopes. When that is lacking there
can be no encouragement for the work.
ers in having representatives on boards
of directors.
S"Furthermore, such a proposal-~is to
encourage the disorganization of the or
ganized and prevent organization of the
yet unorganized. The humiliating con-
fession of defeat of the open shop cam
paign officially eorroborates the state
ments heretofore made by labor that as
the open shop campaign was an un-
American and illogical campaign con-
Quoted to serve grAed and special inter-
est it was impossible for it to succeed. :"

WALLACE ID FIGHT
 FOR SHRIMP LAW
MiSSiSSippianS Would Take Alabama Shrimp, But Don't Want AIabamians to
 Take Their Oysters

Montgomery, June 5.-(Special.)- Charging that shrimp packers of Mis- sissippi have practically destroyed the shrimp of their own state and now desire to invade the waters of Ala bama without restraint, John II. Wal lace Jr, state commissioner of con. servation, Saturday issued a state ment in which he declared his ds- partment would resist to the end the effort of shrimp packers Of NIisSis- sippi to have the federal court de- clare the Alabama shrimp law of 1919 unconstitutional and invalid
 E. E. Elmer of Biloxi filed petl- tton in the federal court Friday for an injunction preventing the stste from levying a special tax on him for the removal of shrimp to other states from the waters of Alabama, contending that this is an interfer- ence with the rights of non-residents
 Commissioner Wallace said he ex- amined the laws of other states and decisions of the United States sup reme court before the shrimp law was enacted, and found that 1t was within the organic law of the state and nation. This law levies a higher tax on shrimp removed from the state than >on shrimp canned within the boundrles of the state.
 Mir. Wallace also called attention to the fact that Mir. Elmer's owu state, Missssippi has a law pho- hibiting the removal of oysters from the boundaries of that state. and that Alabamians had been prosecuted for violating it. "Misslssippians pre- vent Alabamians from taking thetr oysters, and yet they insist that they have a constitutional, right to de- predate upon the shrimping grounds of Alabama and take our shrimp into their state" he commented He said the law was not intended to please Mississippians but to protect this

When you've got Venus for g mama, you can be pretty sure you're not going to be very popular with the women of your mothers age They're always cackling. Now what's Mrs. Venus boy up to next?"
 With a mother in the perfect thir- ty-six class. Aeneas was forever be- ing criticized by the women of the Olympian neighborhood. Juno, who never could pull her waist In as tight as Venus waist came natural was the main cackler.
 "There's that brat, worrying the holy cat again. Juno wold snap. (All Aeneas's mothers set were gods and goddesses, and even their cats were holy.)
 Mrs. Juno's distaste for Venus son followed Aeneas past hls childhood, on through the siege of Troy, and to the end of his story, making him highly uncomfortable, in spite of all the nice little things Venus did to show him a good time.

 The spiteful Juno arranged to have the celestial weather man cook up a tempest which swept Aeneas ships to Africa. Venus, on the job to offset this plot directed Aeneas to Car thage. which was ruled by a coming young queen named Dido.
 "Welcome, widower," the queen greeted him, and she handed him the keys to the village. ."You've just come in time to help us entertain you"
 Venus, bent on promoting a good match for her son, sent the little ras- cal Cupid to take the place of Aeneas' son Ascanius, and Dido unwittingly took Cupid in her arms, murmuring that it was remarkable the way he favored his father.
 There was an entertainment several blocks long, such as Dido's court had never seen before Aeneas himself was chosen as the star performer after the banquet, and at Didos re- quest he unblushingly recounted all he had done in the six adventurous years past.
 Aeneas Has Strong Selling Talk
 "Ain't he grand?" Dido whispered to her sister. That's the kind of story teller I'd like to have for a hus- band. That boy could sell hardtack to the Home for Toothless Old La dies"

 Aeneas arranged a marriage of ter, Lavlnia, and the Latin race saw it's beginning.
 Juno, still camping on Aeneas' trail, stirred up a final bit of trouble for him. Turnus, a rival for the hand of Lavinia, was melted to revolt. but the cards of destiny were stacked against him. He was slain in battle, at the hands of Aeneas.
