SiZzler to retire Jackson.
That first hit for the Nationals came
in the fourth and it was a homer by

The Navy dirigible Shenandoah con-

safely across the continental divide

as she neared Tucson. Ariz.
Cruising along the southern air
route recently followed by the around

forced to stab the sky at unwonted
attitudes. and making 30 to 20 miles
an hour with favoring breeze, was
1000 feet up as she neared Tucson.
Approximately geo miles had been

No definite time had been set for her
arrival here, but she was expected
before sunset" From here the course
of her third and final leg of the West

she will retrace her path through the
heavens TO Lakehurst. y. J.
Leaving Fort Worth, the Shenan-
doah bucked a headwind and an
average speed of 40 miles an hour

held as close to the ground as safety

little as possible of the helium gas in
her bags would be forced through the

LABOR OUTBREAK
IN MEXICO FEARED
Reinstating of Maritime
League Workers Threatens
Clash Unless Gales Acts.
By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, December 26.-An-
other serious labor situation has de-
veloped at Vera Cruz and 1t was be-
lieved today that only orders from
President Gales for the military pro-
lection Of members of the maritime
league desiring to work could prevent
a clash between this labor body and
members Of the Railway Mems Con-
federation.
A recent decision of Minister of
Labor Morones held that the league
workers should be reinstated in their
employment, and a representative of
the department of labor notified the
Vera Cruz Terminal Co, that the rail-
way men, stevedores and other league
workers who were let out last year in
accordance with the pact settling the
iong-standing labor conflict would re-
turn to their employment.
This decision meant that more than
500 of the confederation workers
would lose their jobs. and a strike
was decided upon, the confederation's
executive committee closing the ware
houses and offices and seizine the tele-
graph and railroad equipment late
last night, according to press dis
patches received here The league
members, however, declared their in
tention of going to the shops, break
Ing down the doors and start work
ing.
The labor department representa-
tive IN Vera Cruz appealed to Gen.
Amazon, the military commandant
there, for protection for the league
workers. but Gen. Amazon declared
he would not mix up his troop in the
conflict unless he received orders
from President Gales
