Conductor Congressman
Would Rescind Pay Cut

w IASHINGTON, June 27.-A
w joint resolution which would
authorize the Railroad La
Dor Board to rescind it's decision
reducing the wages of railroad en-
ployees. effective July l, was intro
duced in the House to-day by
Representative Burke (Rep., Pa.),
a member of the Order OF Railroad
Conductors of the Baltimore and
Ohio system.
The resolution embodied a dec
laration that "the decision of the
board savors so much of one sided
justice and has caused such dis
satisfaction and discomfort that a
strike seems both imminent and in
evitable."
Declaring that the reduction in
wages proposed would affect mil
lion and a half workers, the reso-
luton asserted that the wages fixed
by the board would institute "a
Chinese standard of labor" which
would be "repugnant to the Ameri-
can people, who believe in just
wages and decent working condi-
tions."

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., June 81.

An additional, and for the moment
at least serious, complication was in
jected into the web OF American -Mexi-
can relations when the State Depart
ment was officially notified to-day that
forty American citizens, the employees
of the Cortez OIL Company. with Of
fees at 511 Fifth avenue, New York.
and property valued at a quarter Of a
million dollars are being held for
ransom by 240 armed Mexicans in the
Tampico oil region.
The bandit gang, which virtually
squatted on and took possession Of the
Cortez property and held the forty
Americans to a ransom Of $4,000 pesos
(about $4,000. is. according to the dis
patches to the Department, led by the
rebel Mexican General Gorozave, on
whose previous activities and connec-
tions neither the Department nor the
Mexican Embassy was able to throw
any light.
suspicious of Motives.
The fact that Only $4,000 pesos
should be demanded as ransom for so
many persons and so much property
led to some speculation as to whether
or not the incident was staged for
some Interior purpose That this and
the Bielaski kidnapping should have
been staged at the same time en-
couraged the speculation along this
line. particularly in view of the re-
cent current propaganda in the United
States which set in when Gen. de la
Huerta came here to conclude a finan-
cial deal with American bankers.
Whatever the motive. however. the
two incidents must be regarded by this
Government merely as "outrages" and
to that extent adding to the difficulties
OF the situation.
The first news of the Cortez holdup
came from Consul George p. Shaw at
Tampico. who gave the location of the
Cortez property as Auguada, near
Tampico. and the time of the capture as
Sunday morning. approximately the
same time that A. Bruce Bielaski.

cation of the Department Of Justice
was held TO ransom at Cuernavaca In
the State of Morelos Gen. Gorozabe
gave his prisoners forty-eight hours to
come through with the ransom. This
time had expired before the State De-
partment received its first information.
Secretary of State Hughes sent dis
patch TO George T. Summerlin. the
American Charge d'Affaires In Mexico
City, asking him to make the most Wig
orous representation 20 the authorities
to secure the release OF the American
citizens. According TO Consul Shaw, the
