LAY PLANS TO PREVENT
 PRODUCTION OF MOVIES
 OF QUESTIONABLE KIND

New York. March 6.--Plans to preved the production of questionable films and to preclude the exploitation of pictures in a manner offensive to good taste, were embodied in resolutions adopted by the National Association of The Motion Picture Industry, made public here to- night. The association which represents most of the motion picture producers and distributors in the United states, protested against films 'arousing bawdy emotions, pandering to q valacious cu- riosity or in any manner injurious to public welfare
 If the producers do not live up to this standard the resolution threatened them
 with expulsion. and declared the asso- ecution of offenders.
 The resolution banned films that are "obscene. salacious, indecent and inn moral" those which emphasize and ex- aggerate sex appeal,' those based on ccmmercialized vice., or which make drunkenness, gambling or the use oi narcotics attractive.
 The lid also was clamped on "scenes which unnecessarily prolong expressions or demonstrations of passionate love" or particularly suggestive bedroom and bathroom scenes and scenes of melting dances" those exhibiting nakedness oi ecanty attire, or those which instruct tho feeble-minded in methods of commit ting crime
 Protest also was voice against stories or scenes ridiculing public officials, po' liceman, sailors, soldiers, ministers, priests or rabbis.

 The story of the incident yesterday was related briefly today by the com manders of the two ships.
 "I signaled the cable ship. which was maneuvering about in search or the buoy, to stop" said Ensign William Il. Klapproth, commander of the sub chaser 154. When it. paid no atten- tion, we fired shot across the bow of the Clowery." q
 Klapproth declared that he was stili under orders to prevent work of con- meeting the cable to the mainland here, but declined to make further com ment.
 Capt. H. M. Smith of the Robert C.. Clowery refused to make any explana- tion of the cable ships action q hove to immediately after :he shot was fred he said, and proceeded into Miami with the naval vessel, as iu ordered me to do."N
 The cable, which was brought up here last summer by the British cable ship Colonia, was left attached to Q i buoy when the controversy with the | government arose and prevented the completion of the connection. It was said yesterday that the buoy had sunk. being pulled down by the great weight of the cable. When work is resumed it will be necessary to grapple along the bottom of the ocean to pick it up.

MEXICAN RAIL STRIKE
 GROWING MORE SERIOUS

Mexico City March 6.-The railroad strike situation between Monterey and San Louis Potosi. where several bridges have been burned and tracks destroyed, apparently by strikers, was described as serious today by travelers arriving in Mexico City from Laredo, Tex, % hours late. The travellers asserted that fed ] eral troops guarding trains had clashed several times with strikers at once place l5 strikers being captured and executed summarily.
 As evidence that the governor recog- nizes the strike is far from being ter minated, no tickets were sold this morn ing. the railway officials asserting it was possible trains would not leave to- night for those cities. Reports reached here today of depredations committed by strikers, such as the disabling of en- zines, tearing up of tracks and attempted destruction of railroad shops. A col lson of two trains between San Louis Potos and Tampico, in which nine per sons were killed and 25 injured, also is blamed on strikers, but the labor lead : CTS here -disclaim any responsibility for the collision. asserting members of tee union have been cautioned against acts of violence.
 President Obregon's assertion Saturday to newspaper correspondents that the governments strike policy was un- changed was taken here to mean there will be no recession from the original policy of nonrecognition of the union, with vigorous application of military measures, to insure the protection of life and property. If the stories of summary executions related by the travellers are true, 1t is evident the government has decided the sternest methods are needed to end the strike. which has dragged out 10 days longer than the government first predicted. Despite President Obregon g declaration that the present situation is the outgrowth of misundertandirg among labor factions, it is freely reported here that it also has somewhat of a political character. There are no indica- tions, however, that the situation is get ting out of hand

 pr. Simons emphasized that Ger many was prepared to do her utter most. and was earnestly with good will seeking a path to an understanding but he added:
 "Our good will finds natural limit in our capacity and resources. The treaty itself recognizes this"
 Enlarging upon the necessity of CO., operation by all countries for solu~ ton of the reparations problem, pr. Simons saidi
 We have only our labor and indus trial products to offer, and these are undesirable to the countries entitled to reparations. Hence, careful con- s,deration is necessary and .delibera- tion on both sides is essential. With that I do not see why solution can not be found"

Mexico City, March e.-.So far as Mex ico is concerned. President Harding's in- augural address contained nothing for criticism, declared President Obregon to the foreign newspaper correspondents this afternoon. He described the speech as conceived in a splendid spirit for the people of the world; highly instructive and highly moral"
 The subject of treaty between Mexico and the United States, the President said, had never been discussed by the present government of Mexico explaining that recognition would not be urged by Mexico, but must follow as the inclinations Of several countries dictate
 President Obregon had received no of- ficial word on the American position with regard to recognition of any Mexican government, as outlined by former Sen ator Albert B. Fall of New Mexico, the new Secretary of the Interior, in a letter recently made public by the National As sociation for the protection of American Rights in Mexico.
