Washington, Jan. 19.-(Mexican) --Government officials continued their study of the Mexican situation today, with particular attention to the rebel attempt to blockade Tam pico. while the cruiser Richmond ap- proached Vera Cruz to take aboard inc 2sS members Of the crew of the wrecked Tacoma who are ashore In that city under protection of Amer ican consul Wood.
 The cabinet yesterday devoted most of it's attention to the Mexican prob lem hut after the session it was as- serted at the White House that no difficulties are expected by President Coolidge to develop in the situation around Tampico, which is held by the De la Huerta forces. ...
 Whether the Richmond will take aboard Captain Sparrow and the 4s men still on the Tacoma has not been made known. It is thought, however, that some Navy personnel will be kept on the stranded ship pending comple- ton Of wrecking or salvaging opera tious The Richmond's arrival will provide means for direction commun- cation by wireless under American control with rebel controlled territory and this. fl Is believed in some quar- ters, may facilitate negotiations with ,be ne h Huerss leaders looking to ,he keeping of Tampico open 10 com ruorce.

'PAONESSA VETOES
 SALARY INCREASES Believes Council Disseminated
 Against Women Employees WILL CALL SPECIAL MEETING
Wants Discussion of Trolley Fare In- crease-Conmittee To Consider Appointed This Afternoon.

Because. he feels, the common council in denying salary increase, to number of city employees las' Wednesday night discriminateo against many deserving city servants particularly the female clerks all oi whom were refused raises, Mayor A M. Paonessa this afternoon vetoed the increases voted and will ask the con- mon council to reconsider the entire salary question.
 Will Discuss Trolley Fares.
 For this purpose he will call a spe- cial session of the common council some evening next week. At the spe- cial meeting the mayor will ask an expression of sentiment on the in- creases in trolley fares which the Connecticut Co. plans to make effec- tive shortly. He will ask that the mayor and corporation counsel be au- thorized to prepare a petition to be presented to the Public Utilities Commission.
 Veto anticipated.
 That the mayor would veto the councils action on salary increases has been anticipated since wednes- day nights meeting He expressed at the methods employed in killing increases voted by the sal ary committee. The explanation of republican leaders that all requests of female clerks were to be downed be- cause it was their desire to standard ize the pay of female clerks does not find favor with the mayor who be- iieves adoption of such a rule is far from encouraging.
 The mayor believes women are en- titled to the same consideration in wages as are men and feels the city should be at the head Of the move ment to bring women's pay up to the equal of mems compensation for services rendered..
