POLICY Of j. {.
TOWARD MEXICO
IS NOT CHANGED
Texts of Additional Opinions
BY Supreme Court Re-
garding Confiscatory Pro-
visions Are Received.

Washington, Aug. 4.-IeXtS or
additional opinions by the Mexican
supreme court regarding the con-
fiscatory provisions of the Mexican
constitution, have been received by
the state department but have not
resulted in any immediate evil
dence of a change of policy toward
recognition of the Obregon gov
ernment.
In all the department now has
before it five opinions by the court,
the number required by Mexican
practice to establish precedent.
1t has been indicated, however.
that at least some of these, which
have been sent to Washington from
time to time as their text became
available in Mexico City, are not
Regarded by officials here as ade.
'uuate to protect American inter-
ests.
Should the latest rulings Of the
court turn out to be simply an
elaboration of those heretofore re-
ceived it IS intimated in official
circles that they will have con-
tributed little toward removing the
barriers which have prevented
formal recognition of the Obregon
regime.
Must Have Pledges.
The state department repeatedly
has taken the position that it must
have pledges of an unmistakable
character guaranteeing valid Amer
lean titles and there is nothing to
indicate that it would be willing
now to act on half way assurances
In some quarters here. it even is
suggested that a pledge given by
the Obregon administration itself
would be highly desirable, in addi-
tion to any precedent which the
supreme court might undertake 10
establish through series of de-
cisions. 1t is pointed out that an
opportunity to make such pledge
has been given General Obregon
through the suggested treaty OF
amity submitted for his approval
by the state department several
months ago but never acted upon
favorably in Mexico City.
Whether the delay of the Next
can president in accepting the
treaty and thus directly showing
his intention to protect American
interests will be interpreted as
weakening the effect of the court
decisions. is not revealed by Off
cials here, but it has been made
manifest that the state department
does not understand the exact char
acter of the objections which are
blocking the way to full accept
ance of the American request by
the Obregon government.

Meanwhile, further steps toward
insuring coal distribution during

Chicago, Aug. 4. (by the Asso-

railroad labor board to retain
their former seniority rights in
order to make test case, it being
pointed out that these shopmen
could not make such an appeal SO

thus not employees of the roads.

RAIL WAY CLERKS
ARE FAVORED IN
BOARD DECISION
Carriers Ordered to Con-
tinue Sick Leave and Va
cation Pay Gratuities
Pending Adjustment Row
By The Associated Press,

Chicago, Aug. 4-Railroad clerks
were favored today in a decision
announced by the United States
labor board, ordering railroads to
continue the customary sick leave
and vacation with pay gratuities,
pending adjustment of disputes
over these practices either by
ruling from the board or by agree
ment between managements and
employees.
This is regarded by union leaders
as highly favorable to the clerks
inasmuch as a number of railroads
abolished these gratuities without
the sanction of their employees or
the labor board. The action of the
railroads came after system clerks
organizations had referred disputes
over these practices to the board
and the board had remanded the
cases to the railroads and employees
in the hope of amicable adjust
ment.
Commenting on today's ruling,
Chairman Ben w. Hooper said:
"After our remanding order. a
number of railroads discontinued
these gratuities. This created con-
siderable dissention among the
clerks. The railroads undoubtedly
felt that inasmuch as they mad
established these practices they
also had a right to abolish them at
will.
"When the board issued its re-
manding order no attempt was
made to place an interpreta-
ton on the boards power to as
sumo jurisdiction lin the dispute.
But today's resolution. an interp-
rotation of the original decision
holds that the board has the power
to order that the past practices
continue pending settlement, either
through the board or management
and employees"
