GARCIA VIGIL
REPORTED SHOT

Hear Serrano Indians Then
Flock to Maycotte's
Banner.
PICK r A MON ROSS
Hear Oregon Wants to
Interview Angel
Flores.

Rumors about Mexico continue fast
in the Mexican colony here, some of
them with q scmblance of truth. in
the two Mexican dailies, FL Nacional
and La Prensa. For instance, one
paper published the fact that Gen
eral Fortunate Maycotte took Garcia
Vigil out and executed him. 1t is
reported that all of the Serrano In
dams, thousands in numbers in the
Oaxacs mountains. have joined May
cote. these Indians being opposed TO
fighting under Garcia Vigil.
The Mexico City version is that
Garcia Vigil was captured by General
Serrano near Puerto. Mexico. and
was tried and executed. Other re-
ports are that General Figueroa who
surrendered in Mexico City after leav-
ing his army somewhere in Guer-
zero" has been executed in Mexico
City. by orders of the Obregon gov
eminent "while trying to escape" from
the Santiago military prison.
Threaten Durango City.
Reports from Durango are that
Hipolito Villa and MANUEL Chao have
gathered quite an army in that state.
and are threatening Durango City.
They have cut the railroad between
Torreon and Durango.

supposed financial aid 10 be given
the De Ia Huerta government by Eng
lish Oil company. and that arms and
munitions of war are Ia be sent out
Of England ports and Spanish ports

In reference 10 the presidential
bee. the last rumors are that General
Elias Gales will not be candidate
but will withdraw in favor of Ramon
Ross. one of Obregon's compadres.
He is to be the official candidate of
the Obregonistas for the presidency.
in case that Obregon is unable TO pro-
long his tenure of office for two
more years. Just what effect the
substitution of Ramon Ross for
Elias Gales will have outside Of
Sonora is problematical. because Ross
is pretty much in the same attitude
as was Nacho Bonillas, the selection
of Venustiano Carranza, or his sue
cessor, or as was Ramon Corral dur
ing the Dinz presidential succession.
Flores Is Sick.
III Alt II "
Gales declare that Ramon Ross will
be super-imposition, instead of
merely an imposition as the anti
0bregonistas charge against the
Elias Gales candidacy.
And in the meantime Angelic
Flores is reported i'll in Sinaloa and
unable TO proceed TO Mexico City
and get on the mat for President
Oregon TO interrogate, and Obregon
has a very cute way Of always sitting
in the dark, when he interviews some
one, and place the witness near Il
window. where the light can shine on
him, and observe his features and cx-
pressions. Maybe that is why Flores
does not want to be questioned just
yet. In other words nobody believes
any longer in Flores, but still Flores

ANTI PERMIT SYSTEM
WON'T BE REINSTATED

SAN FRANCISCO, March :0.-Fed-
eral Judge Dooling has refused to sus-
pend his injunction against the per-
NIT system used by anti-union build
ing material men in this city.
These business men refused to sell
material to any one unless he pledged
himself to run his job anti-union, or
American plan," as the union smash
ers call it. This was ordered stopped
by Judge Dooiing last November. His
order applies to all goods shipped
from outside the state
The antis now ask the court to sus-
pend the order until it is passed upon
by the United States supreme court.
Judge Dooling refused this request,
and insists it remain in full force. In
his. Or0ginal order he notified the
builders exchange that If they did
not comply with his injunction ne will
dissolve their organization.
AT the injunction hearing it was
shown that the material men en-
ployed detectives to report to them
any contractor who employed union
men. These contractors were placed
on the blacklist. The building trades
unions fought this conspiracy and
their agitation finally attracted. the
attention of the federal department
of justice.

That the authorities repsonsiible for
the arrest of the entire membership
of the local MOlders' union following
an explosion in front Of a hotel here
are beginning to suspect that they
blundered, is indicated by recent de-
velopments in the case.
The condition of the public mind
and the mental equilibrium Of the To-
cal authorities, so far as the strike
and explosion are concerned, was in
terestingly indicated a few days ago
when another bomb scare aroused
the county prosecutor to vigorous ac-
tion. An unexploded "bomb" was
found on the main street Of Mont
pelier. It was carefully handled was
placed in the county prosecutors pos
session. While the local authorities
felt shivers creeping up and down
their spine, explosive experts treat
ed the "bomb" so that it might not
prematurely explode. Finally it was
discovered that the "bomb" was a
worn out battery which somebody had
thrown out Of a flashlight into the

have suffered at the hands of local

PRISON LABOR WILL
RECEIVE ATTENTION

washington State Federation BuIIetin)
The prison labor problem at the
state penal institution at Walla Walla
is-to be given a thorough survey this
year, IL temporary plans formulated
last week at Seattle are carried out.
OF the eight hundred odd inmates
Of the institution it is learned that
over five hundred of them are con-
fined to their cells ftwenty-one hours
of the day through lack of opportun-
ity for employment and recreation.

institution recently and Immediately

to Seattle last Saturday for a confer
ence with President Whitcomb OF the

President Of the state Federation ef
Labor, at which conference It was
agreed that commission OF seven
leading citizens from the ranks OF the
waee earners, farmers, manufactufz
ers and business interests should be
named to make a thorough survey of
the problem with view to recon-
mending legislation on the subject to
the next legislature. It was agreed
that nothing would be considered that
might have tendency to menace the
wage standards OF the workers or
compete in any way with existing in
dustry and manufacture. The re-es-
tablishment of the jute mill for the
manufacturing of cheap sacks for the
farmers, putting the mill on two shifts
and the inmates on a work day of four
or five hours, thus giving employment
to a larger number of inmates and at
the same time providing reasonable
hours of employment for them was
one of the many things considered.
The extenion of the farm with a view
of raising more products both for the
penitentiary and other state institu-
tions was also considered as a means
of providing additional employment
and an opportunity for outdoor exer-
else. These and other sugesgted reme-
dies will be thoroughly considered by
the committee to be named, and which
it is planned to make representative
OF the labor, farming, business and
manufacturing interests of the state.

VILE CONDITIONS
EXIST IN ALASKAN
SALMON CANNERIES

WASHINGTON, March 19.--Terri-
Bile conditions, rivaling the horrors Of
the meat packing industry in its
darkest days, exist in many Alaskan
salmon canneries, according to the
Texas State Department of Labor.
Findings Of the Department of La
Dor are confirmed by a report of
special Federal Grand Jury, which
met at Valdez, Alaska, and investiga-
ted conditions in many canneries.
Statements obtained from Mexican
laborers employed last year in the
salmon industry reveal conditions
that are disgrace to a civilized age,
the Department of Labor reports.
These laborers were promised $17O
for the seasons work Of about three
months and free transportation from
Texas to Alaska and back to San
Francisco only. They were charged
$12 for eighteen small sandwiches
and nine cups of coffee, furnished be-
tween San Antonio and San Francis
co. At San Francisco the men were
packed into unsanitary quarters on a
ship, made to sign an unjust contract
and fleeced in many ways by labor
contractors. Chinese and Spanish
foremen took them in charge and
practiced many abuses on them, in
cluding selling them narcotics annd
taking their money by means Of gam
bling games.
Workers VletImlzed
The men, the Department of Labor
report says, received no pay in Alas
ka, being required to work the full
season at the canneries and collect
the small balance due them at the
commissary at San Francisco, oper-
ated by the labor contractors. De-
ductions were made for everything
furnished them by the contractors,
exorbitant prices being charged for
the articles purchased. At the San
Francisco store they were forced to
buy as much as $50 worth Of goods
or waily yan indefinite period for the
rest Of their pay. They were forced
to toll from in the morning until 6
in the evening-15 hours a day at
very hard and exhausting work.
The Valdez Grand Jury report re-
veals even more horrible conditions
in certain canneries. The report tells
Of disgusting and horrible violations
