Him in a Statement.

mo such letter was ever writer
to Mr.. Neis as the one purportint
to have been sent under date o
September 49," said a statemen
issued Jointly by n. A. Field, statt

The Joint statement follows:
mo such letter was ever writ

it would have been comparativel!
easy for such o letter to have beer

"Mr. Neis never received sucl

any transaction between the state
land office and Mr.. Neis calling
for any such letter. Any CORE
spondence would have been unnec

itself as a clumsy attempt to dis

discord.
"No one acquainted with th'

that under the business rules of hi

MEXICO ORDE rs
ITS CONSULATE
IN n. !. CLOSED
Decision of State Supreme
Court in the Oliver Amer
lean Trading Corporation
Case Is Reason.

Washington. oct. 2T-- The Mex
lean consulate in New York city
was ordered closed, it was said to-
day at the Mexican embassy. be-
cause of the decision Of the New
York state supreme court IN the
Oliver American Trading corpora
tiou case, which, it was contcnded,
was in violation of both the prin-
ciples of civil and of international
law Mexican officials in New
York also, it was added, had no
facilities with which to carry on
their duties. inasmuch as the funds
and furniture of the consulate had
been attached. For these reasons,
| it. was stated, the consulate would
remain closed until the questions
at issue had been satisfactorily ad-
justed.
Comment Withheld.
Mexican officials here said they
had asked the state department to
take action in the case. but at the
department comment was with
held. 1t was learned. however, that
the matter had been taken up
directly with New York state of
ficials by the department. Until a
reply is received from Governor
Miller it Is understood that the
state department will make no re-
ply to the Mexican representatives.
Commenting upon the case,
Manuel O. Teller, charge d'affaires
of Mexico. said that the action OF
the New York court was in viola
ton OF the immunity extended to
the consular representatives all
over the world.
"The consulate in New York, "
he continued, 'is SUPPOSED to be
established to foster and help the
interests OF the American COM
imerce, which occupies today the
first place in our trade, with nearly
20 per cent of our total imports If
the American authorities in New
York do not extend to us not only
the facilities to that mission, but
the elemental rights conceded by
international law. we can only
close the consulate, much to our
regret. This is what has happened
in the case Of the Oliver-A merican
Trading corporation and therefore
we will not reopen the consulate
until the writ of attachment is sus-
pended
Origin Of Case.
As explained by the Mexican en-
bassy, the Oliver-Americap Trad
ing corporation case had its origin
in contract entered into by the
Mexican government with that
company two years ago, granting
them certain privileges to operate
their own rolling stock on Mexican
lines and permitting them to COL
.lect so per cent increased rates. At
the termination of the contract the
company was notified 10 pay the
right OF way duty established for
all cars running on Mexican lines,
and in default of payment the gov
ernment placed an embargo o. the
rolling stock. Embassy officials
maintained that according to Mex
lean laws if any action was to be
taken, It should have been before
Mexican tribunals.

ROCKEFELLER IS
AN ADVOCATE Of
EIGHTH HOUR DAY
Condemns Longer Hours,
Also the Seven-Day Week
as Unnecessary, Uneco-
nomiC and UnjustifiabIe"

New York, Oct. 27.--A sweeping
statement declaring his personal
stand for the eight-hour day in in
dustry and condemnng the r.
hour day and the seven-day week
as unnecessary, meconomic and
uniustifiable," was issued today by
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.
The statement appears In the
form of an article signed by Mr..
Rockefeller in the current issue of
the Survey Graphic and follows an
arraignment of working conditions
in certain oil fields of Wyoming
in the same magazine by r. S.
Lynd, who spent three months in.

ptti NV unnecessary.
"L believe that, generally speak
ing the 12-hour day and the sew
en-day week should no longer be
tolerated in industry. either from
I the viewpoint of public policy or
of industrial efficiency" the oil
magnate says in his most recent
statement Il believe that both
have been proven to be unnec-
essary uneconorlic and unjustifia-
BILE"
Even in those Industries where
the so-called Continuous process
is an inevitable feature, Mr..
Rockefeller says he believes the
routine should be so adjusted that
the employees can have at least one
days rest in seven and can obtain
that share of leisure for self-devel-
opment which accompanies the
work day of approximately eight
hours.
"While the adoption OF these
standards may, and doubtless will,
at first entail increased costs of
production, | am confident that in
| the long run greater efficiency and
economy viii result and that from
the outset public opinion will SUP
port any industry which installs
them"
Living Conditions.
With regard to living conditions,
even in isolated localities like oil
camps. Mr.. Rockefeller declared
that it is not only possible but nee
essary to make reasonable provi-
sions for the health, comfort and
lcontentment of those who labor
there in behalf of the entire COM
munity.
"T have never believed that these
| things should be provided for
working men and women either as
result of chance generosity or de-
liberate paternalism, the state
ment continues. quite aside
| from the fact that in my judg-
ment, they represent the soundest
economic policy. they are due to
the employe as a matter of COM
mon Justice, required by the basic
fact that n man is "A human being
first and Il member Of the indus

The article of Mr. TYnd, which
called forth Mr.. Rockefeller's S
statement, is an intensive study OF
conditions in the Fix Basin crude
oil producing field of Wyoming,
where. according to the author,
one man in three works 2 hours
day and seven days n week. and
all other classes of labor, includ-
ing office personnel work nine

Mr.. Stratton emphasized that as

to try the pass only for the division

The intermediate stations are in
cluded. with the exception. that the
pass will not be good for ride
wholly within the District of Column
hia. This last condition is beyond the
company's control. owing to certain
regulations of the Public Utilities
Commission of the District.
IF the pass works out on this di-
