MEXICAN WORKERS SUSTAIN
An1hRlCAN RAILWAY STRIKE,
(By The reoerated Press

Washington. - The text OF warm
ing issued by the Hallway Trades red
eIatlon OF tne mexican republic TO the
workers CT MEXICO, urging NeHlcans-
to stay away IRON the ranroaa shops
where strikes aie In progress, mas been
mace puDnc by the "A. r. OF L.
A consular bulletin signed by the
consul general OF Mexico, Enrique D..
t<ulz, calling attention to the TACT that
recruiting agents OF American railways
are securing Mexico Tor strlkebreakers,
accompanies the warning. The consul
general statement reads as follows:
1t having come to the knowledge
of the consul general that as a result
OF the strike OF the railway shop crafts
In the United States, a number OF COM
pany recruiting agents have recruited
number OF Mexican citizens Tor em~
ployment as strlkebreakers, have
deemed it proper to warn the Mexican
workers OF the dangers 70 which they
are exposed IN accepting such employ
ment.
I issue this warning because | have
been informed that some OF these COM
pany agents are resortlng to decelttuI
means IN enIisting recruits leading them
to believe that the employment offered
to them is permanent, thus beng ex-
posed to all sorts Of difficulties. for
they are sent to far distant places with
out any guarantee whatsoever that they
will be furnished their return trip when
the employment comes to an end.
1t is far from my mind to prevent
the Mexican workers from accepting
employment as strikebreakers if they
wish to do so with full knowledge Of
the risk they are running. That IS their
right My only object is to prevent
Their being deceived BY false promises
that may result in serious difficulties
in the future.
The Mexican railroad workers de-
clare that any worker who accepts a
position while his follow workers in
the United States are out on strike is
: a traitor to the sacred weapon of de-

GOVERNMENTS ARE A
BUNCH OF DEBTS
(By The Federated Pcs


Moscow. July l6. | had a talk
yesterday with Karl Radek. the fiery
editor of Pravda and the communist
expert on central European affairs.
What is happening in Germany" !
asked him.
Germany is economically finished, !
he said. ''OnIy big reduction Of her
indemnity and big loan from Amer
lea could possibly enable her TO go
on. This is the economic basis which
sharpens the struggle in Germany, and
underlies the development of the work
ers' movement and also of the monar-
chist movement.
The monarchist movement has be-
hind it, not only the confessed monar-
chists, but the entire bourgeois group,
the soldiers, the big industrialists. Their
support is not open, and in some cases
not more than half-hearted, but the ba-
sis Of their support is that unless the
monarchists seize power the govern
ment cannot withstand the growing de-
mands Of the workers. That is why the
bourgeois group is swinging into the
camp of complete reaction.
"A government may be formed IN
Guiding the Independent Socialists. The
other possibility is that the SHINES
party may get power, either soon or
after the breaking Of a coalition in
which the Independents take part. With
the SHINES party in power the workers
will be driven to a united front against
the government.
Radek talked of The Hague. We
need waste no tears on it, he said.
THE entente has shown clearly that 1t
has nothing to give us. Individual cap
italists are more hopeful than these
governments. For even German cap
italists have some money. but these
governments are nothing but bunch
of debts. We shall get Individual cap
itaIists to take concessions in Russia.

HOW RAILWAY EXECUTIVES
TRIMMED UNCLE SAM
Az The Federated PCS

In the midst OF the present contro-
versy raging around the railway strike,
few persons realize what mess the
private operation of railroad, has be-
come i'll comparison with public control
during the war.
We quote from government figures
compiled BY the interstate commerce
commission.
During the 26 months of federal con-
troll the government paid an annual
rental to the owners Of the railroads of
$o06,000,000 After this tribute was
paid to private ownership the entire de-
ficit for this period was $l.20O,000.-
600.
If the government had not paid this
tribute to private owners, there would
have been surplus Of $762, 100000.
The deficit, after paying more than
SIS 100000 per month to the private
owners, was less than $50,000.000 per
month.
What IS the record Of private owner
ship since the war.
During the first six months Of pri-
waite operation following The return Of
the roads to their owners, and when the
carriers were guaranteed dividends BY
the Esch-Cummins law, the deficit as
BY payments made to May
/ was $746.235 ,04l, Of at The rate of
more than $f24,000,000 per month";
