FIRST CHANCE FOR AMERICANS.
When the Mosul Oil Fields Are Opened
Up, Says Turk.

Lausanne. Nov. 27, lBy the Asso-

part of Turkey proper and when the
time comes to make oil concessions TO
foreigners in that rich districts,
Americans will get the first chance, Dr.
Ria Nur Bey. one of the Turkish
plenipotentiaries at the conference here
declared to the correspondent to-day.
1--WE are reading great deal these
days about secret agreements outside
the conference concerning Mosul, all OF
which proceeds from the theory that
Mosul is British" the Turkish dele
gate said. "The contrary is true. Mosul
has been ruled by the Ottoman dynasty
for exactly 100 years and we intend
to assert vigorously our claim to
sovereignty over Mosul when the
frontier question is discussed in the
conference.
British troops occupied THE terri
tory after the armistice, not before and
it is not part of Mesopotamia.
"We need American capital in
Turkey and prefer to deal with Ameri.
cans because they work their conces.
sions on a strictly business basis, with.
out seeking to advance the interests
of their government by mixing in
politics and following a policy OF
economic penetration harmful to the
Turkish state.
eLet Americans keep their hands of
internal Turkish politics and they will
be favored by u.s.
Ria Nur was distressed over what
he termed American inability to under
stand the honorable and constructive
aims of the new Turkey
eve are irving to modernize Tur

assistance. We believe in your disin

ference With Non-union
Men

bidding the brieklayers from discrimi-
mating against independent laborers.
The lockout, officials agreed, would
affect about 10000 workers in the
building trades in the metropolitan
district Immediately and would render
idle 5000 more within a month.
The lockout was caused, Mr.. Nor
man said, by the interference OF nn-
ion men with non-union workers. The
bricklayers' union he declared, recent
ly authorized sporadic strikes in cases
where workers not affiliated with the
central union were employed The EN-
ployers took action, he said, when the
union men refused TO abandon the call
ing of these strikes. About 81 ,00O,-
600 in construction work in the metro
