IF we drive q motor car and see

You have 1t in your power to
bring constantly to the attention Of

U. s. CONCERNED OVER
ELECTION IN HONDURAS

Official reports telling of an
acute prediction situation In the
republic OF Honduras caused much
concern in Administration circles
today. Government officials are
apprehensive of another revolution
in the tiny republic.
Four candidates are in the field
for the presidency and present re-

is impossible. Foreigners and
others are leaving Honduras post

other harbors of safety.
The American Government frank
ly is concerned, and a "watchfuI

No indications were forthcoming,
however, as to what steps might

Discussing Gompers' demand that
the council refrain from issuing
credentials for delegates to conven
lions whose purpose is hostile to
the American Federation of Labor
the council replies with the state
ment that such action never has
been taken knowingly.
Debate on this point brought out
the fact that TIulet Wells. a for

The demand Of the American

that body be unseated from the
council is complied with in the
answer to the fifth mandate. Black
