CONSUMERS OF BREAD
STRIKE IN COPENHAGEN

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
COPENHAGEN, September "A
curious fight has started between the
Copenhagen bakers and the assotia-
ton called the Consumers Guard. The
bakers have raised their prices on
several kinds of bread and the asso-
citation has protested saying there has
been no reason for increasing prices.
Consumers Guard members num-
bering several thousand sent a petit
ton to the government. asking aid,
but the government, although agree
ing that prices of bread were too
high. refused assistance. Now the
guard has declared a strike, asking
not only their own members, but the
whole population of Copenhagen not
to buy bread at the increased rates
and start home baking. Several thou
sand people participated in the strike,
but the bakers have declined to lower
their charges. saying bread cannot
be sold cheaper. The result of the
strike is being awaited with much
anxiety.

Mr.. Cummins being virtually besieged
in the legation building and finally
leaving the country. In this connec-
tion President Obregon declared his
government had grounds for the as
sertion that Mr.. Cummins was pre-
pairing "a scandalous incident for the
purpose of hating the voyage Of Sir
Thomas Hohler."
Moreover, the Mexican governmen
attempted to avoid forcing Mr.. Cum
Minis departure until the arrival of
Sir Thomas Hohler. asking only that
the British government refuse to
authorize the terms of the ''calumni-
Gus and discourteous letter directed
to the foreign ministry" and other
unacceptable communications. Presi-
dent Obregon charged that the British
government refused to consent to
any solution. but on the contrary
said it could not. without denying
what was plainly evident, consider
as false the facts which had been
sent by Mr.. Cummins."
The president concluded with a
reiteration of the statements made to
Evening star., 1924-09-02

Mexico had not insisted upon her
rights under international law, but
exgratia accepted the moral ogliba-
tion to indemnify just claims for
losses.
Regarding the proposed treaty OF
amity and commerce with the United
States. the President said his gov
ernment accepted the idea in princi-
pie, but only on the basis of "abso-
lutte liberal commerce between both
countries and derogation of the nu-
merous restrictions which, in the
form of an embargo, actually pre-
vent the expectation of many of our
products to the United States"
He added that the negotiations
were pending until the United States
had an opportunity to formulate a
policy on such treaties which are
being worked out in exchanges with
Germany.

PRESIDENT
FAILS ON
BORAH
Senator Called to White
House.Te Tells Coolidge He Will
Not Reconsider Stand
BY H. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.

President Coolidge failed today
to get Senator William E.. Borah
of Idaho to reconsider his refusal
to accept the Republican Vice
Presidential nomination. :
Borah conferred with the Presi-
dent at the White House for half
an hour, informing him that his
decision not to accept the nomina-
ton was irrevocable and that
nothing could cause him to change
that decision.
Wires Refusal.
He said that his flat refusal al.
ready had been telegraphed to
Frank w. Mondell. chairman Of
the Cleveland convention: ex-Sen.
ator Albert ]. Beveridge. Of Ind.
ana, and to the Idaho delegation.
He has given directions, Borah
said. that If his name is presented
to the convention it should be
withdrawn Immediately on the basis
of these kilograms.
In view of conflicting reports
from the party leaders at Cleveland
as to whether or not the Idaho
Senator had accepted or rejected
the offer Of the Vice Presidential
nomination, President Coolidge sent
out a call early this morning for
Borah to come to the White House.
When he could not be located at
his home. it was suggested that he
might be horseback riding in Rock
Creek Park. Ted Clark, the Presi-
dents secretary, in q White House
automobile, was sent in search of
him. He finally located the Sena.
tor In the park and brought him
to the White House.
Reports that Borah had accepted
pleased the President and he
wanted to confirm last nights press
dispatches and his telephone con.
versations with Cleveland. But
Borah disposed Of all these reports
with the simple statement that he
was not a candidate and that he
would not be a candidate even to
please the President.
The name of Judge William s.
Kenyon, former United States Sen.
ator from Iowa. for Vice President
was suggested to the President nv
Senator Borah. The White House
declined to indicate what Mr.. Cool
idge thought Of the suggestion.
though his admiration for Kenyon
was made known in March when
he offered to make him Secretary
Of the Navy.
Reason for Refusal.
The chief reason that Senator
Borah gave for his refusal that he
believed he could render greater and
better service as a member Of the
Senate than as It's presiding officer.
The trend toward Senator Charlie
Curtis as the Vice Presidential
nominee was said to be acceptable
to the President, although the
White House declined to make any
statement until the convention had
definitely indicated its choice.
Curtis indicated that he would ac.
