Mexican Troops in
 ReadinessfW Rebels
Have Been Extensively Mo- bilized in States of Goa huila and Tamaulipas to Cope With Rebels.

Mexico City, Aug. o.-Government circles are extremely retieent in their comment on the re,sert crossing of the border from the U ited States by. Gen ersd Francisco Mt guia, ftrneriy of the Carranza goverf4 hent forces in what has been described as an attempt to overthrow the government of President Obregon.
 The war office, however, has officially admittes, that the croossing of the bor- der took place somewhere in Coahu- lia." Secretary of War Serrano, all though describing Niurguia as the least nenacing of all the revolutionists out side Mexico, nevertheless has ordered all extensive mobilization of troops in Coahula and Tamaulipas under command Of Geneal Joaquin Amaro, who has been directed to give battle to the rev olutionists as soon as he comes into con- tact with them.
 Manuel Mesta, heading group of rev olutionists in Durango, is expected to proclaim his adherence to Murguia and to join him. Likewise Nicholas Rodriguez and Rosalio Hernandez. wno for sev- erai months have been In open rebellion are expected to join hands with Mur- guia.
 Murguias s threat against President Ob- regon, which was given substance by his official manifesto issued yestedday at Villa Zaragosa state of Coahuila, ir which he brands Obregon as a ursurper Is considered of slight importance in the
 capital, where in official circles the gen | eral belief is he will not be able to se
 cure sufficient forces to overthrow tn,
 central power.
 | Notwithstanding the general belief =
 official circles that Murguia at presen i is harmless, his movements are bein:
 watched with much interest Deep in | terest is centered on the attitude whicl
 will be taken by the dozen or more rebe
 chiefs throughout the republic who ma, not seize the opportunity afforded b. 1 Murguia's invasion to start aggressiv l action against the central authorities.

LAWRENCE TEXTILE STRIKE
 IS A THING OF THE PAST


 Lawrence. Mzas.. Aug. 3o.-The Law renee textile strike today became d thing of the past and virtual peace reigned between workers and employers for the first time since March 27. The two remaining mills which had still held out for lower wages. the Methueh and the Pemberton. today capitulated 10 the demands Of the strikers and announce ed that on September 5th the wage scale in effect before March 27 would be restored.
 The greater part Of the ls.o0o tex tile workers normally employed in the mills of this city are expected 10 be back at their places early in September. and already the wheels in several fac tories are in motion
 The first to accede to the demands of the strikers were the Pacific Mills, nor maIly employing s.200 workers. and their offer. accepted by the Un.ted Tex tile Workers. but tentatively refused by the One Big Union. was the only pro- position advanced which did not an- nounce without reservation a return in the old wage scale in all departments effective October 2. and retroactive to ton that the old scale could not DC guaranteed after December 1, in the cotton department. All other offers were. plainly for return at the old scale.
 The only exception to the peaceful settlement of the strike is al the Patcho- gue Plymouth Mills. which are not c!assed as textile plants. their products being largely fibre rugs. The average wage cut here last March was less than in the textile mills but most of the 4og employees have been on strike since the cut was announced. A meeting witt representatives of this plan and the of- fcials of the United Textile Workers has been arranged for this week and ii is expected that a settlement will b' reached in line with other developments
 Hearings on contempt of couri charges brought by the Pacific Mill against Ben Legere, president of th' One Big Union. and two of his assoct ates, were in process before a master here today. The Pacahc Mills alleged that the One Big Union leaders violated an injunction against interfering witt workers at their miAs.
