BE- MADE TO PAY
MEXICAN DEBT
lRu nisnatch A. P. Mirel


NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Formal an
nouncement that fresh start was
being made toward carrying out the
Mexican debt agreement, involving
that country's $50O,0O0,O0O of exter-
nal obligations with several hun
dred millions of accumulated inter-
est, was made today by the internal
committee of bankers on Mexico,
which recommended that all bond
holders accept notifications arranged
by the committee and Finance Minis
ter A. J. PAM, last October.
Simultaneous announcements in
London, Paris and Mexico City, sig
nalized the restoration of the plan
in it's modified form. IT. is expected
that funds which are now being
received by the bankers will be per-
mitted to accumulate for a three, or
six months period and then dis
tributed to the bondholders.
statement issued by the COM
mittee explaining the situation re-
viewed the conference between the
bankers and Minister Pani last Oct
ober which resulted in the signing
of the notifications agreement reach
ed at another conference in 1922
and ratified by President Gales of
Mexico This agreement was carried
out in 1928, but suspended by the
Mexican government in 1924 because
of it's inability TO carry out the
terms of the agreement.

WORKS PLAN
lBy Dispatch A. P. wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Indications
today were that amendments to the
Swing Johnson Boulder canyon meas
ure proposed by Secretary of the
Interior Work would be acceptable
to Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, who has been leading the
fight for the governments construc-
tion of the project
That the measure, even with the
suggested amendments would be op-
posed by the states of the upper
river basin seemed assured with the
assertion today of Senator Kendrick,
democrat, Wyoming, that the states
of the upper basin desired further
opportunity for ratification of the
original water compact. He made
clear, however, that if the state leg
islatures did not ratify the original
compact at their next opportunity he
would no longer oppose acceptance
of the six state compact and the
construction of the Boulder canyon
project, although his state did not
feel it had been given the full meas
ure of protection it deserved.
The project would include an all
American canal to the Imperial val
ley of California.

MINERS TO MEET
TO DISCUSS The
N. Y. CONFERENCE
1Ru nisnatch A. P. Mirel

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The anthra-
cite strike situation, brought about
by the disruption of the wages con-
ferences yesterday will be discussed
by the miners at Hazleton, Pa, to-
morrow by the tri-district scale COM
mittee which conducted the fruitless
negotiations with the operators. The
committee numbers 35 including John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine workers, and other interna-
tional officers.
Lewis will present to the Hazleton
meeting the report of the sub-com-
nnittee He expressed interest in the
statement issued by Governor Pinchot
to the Pennsylvania legislature to-
day, attributing the breakdown in
negotiations to the operators. Lewis
also showed interest in the bill which
would make the anthracite industry
a public utility, but he would not COM
ment.
He said he had no information
from Washington concerning a pos
sible attempt to bring the opposing
factions together and placed no
credence in published reports that
some of the operators may attempt
to open the mines. Spokesman for
the operators flatly denied the re-
ports.
Lewis Phillip Murray information
al vice president and c. ]. Golden,
president of district number 8, left
today to attend the meeting.
Major W. w. Inglis, chairman of
the operators subcommittee before
leaving for his home in Scranton to-
day issued a statement commenting
upon Lewis reiteration yesterday
that the operators were willing to
arbitrate human rights, but refused
to arbitrate property rights. The
statement follows:
'InN offering to submit all phases
of the wage dispute to arbitration
the operators meant exactly what
they said-that the offer was made
without strings or reservations, and
that in making it they realized fully
that the arbitration board might rule
that some things, including the open
ing of their books and granting of
the check-off, were necessary.
SHOULD it be so ruled, after ex-
animation of the fact the operators
would be bound to abide by the rul-
ing Specifically, as to the opening
of the books to show cost and profit,
it will be us to submit to the board
any and all information and data
it might ask or that might be re-
uuired to, prove our contentious.
1--WE have repeatedly said in sub
stance to the miners what I am
saying, and don't believe there is
any doubt in Lewis mind that ar
bitraton will develop all of the facts
he is so anxious to have disclosed.
dis objections to arbitration are bas-
ed on quite different ground. He
does not want the facts so much as he
wants to retain his untrammeled
power"

BOWDEN TELLS LIVESTOCK men
LONG TERM GRAZING CONTRACTS
AND MODERATE FEES PLANNED
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

PHOENIX, Jan. 1S.-First details
of proposed legislation for the regu-
lation of grazing on the national
forests and public domain We're
given to the American National
livestock association here today by
George K Bowden, special counsel
for the United States committee on
public lands
The submission of the proposed
bill was the dominant note of the
opening day of the annual conven-
tion of the association.
Moderate fees and long term graz
ing contracts are the essence of the
bill which was drafted by the
United States senate public lands
committee after months of investiga-
tion and the holding of public hear
ings in the public land states of 'the
west Bowden said it was designed
to stabilize range conditions, legal
ize the use of the public domain,
localize the administration and give
grazers a state board to which to
appeal.
Bowden explained that the pro-
visions of the bill are still tentative
and for the reason it was being sub
mitted for the first time to the
association.
Principal features of the bill as

sociation convention will be held in

from Frank p. Moore, president of
the Cochise County Cattle Growers
organization.
When Moore went to Phoenix the
first of the week to attend the
1926 gathering of the state body,
he was instructed by the chamber
of commerce here and by interested
cattlemen of this section to ask
the body to meet in Douglas next

to Douglas.
In 1928, the state organization
met in this city and voted the con-
vention of that year great sue
cess. More than T5 delegates attend
ed that convention and next year
it is believed the attendance will
be above 100. The annual gathering
not only attracts stockmen from
Arizona but leaders in the cattle
industry in Texas and Colorado often
make it a point to attend. Moore

have been permitted TO cross the in
ternational line at Douglas to trade
in this city. No facilities have been
available for issuance of passports at
the local port and thousands of folks
from points in the state of Sonora
and other Mexican cities desiring to
trade here, have been forced to go
all the way to Nogales for the vising
of PASSPORTS This inconvenience and
delay sin hundreds of cases has meant
that the prospective purchasers from
the other side have crossed into this
country to other ports, chiefly at
Nogales, to do their trading. Thus
Douglas has suffered in a business
sense as we'll in it's attempt to
offer Mexican citizens a welcoming
and attractive port of entry. All
these difficulties will be thrashed
out here when the new vice consul
is installed and local merchants in
timately connected with the Mexican
trade believe that it will bring hum
dreds of residents of that country to
this city monthly to transact their
business. In the past, it is stated by
those in a position to know, the folks
who have been forced to journey all
the way to Nogales for their pass
ports have seldom cared to return
to the port here to pass across the
line.
Amsden is believed to have held the
post of vice consul at Nogales only
about six weeks. Favorable reports
have been received of his work, how
ever, since he has been in charge
there.
Successive administrations of the
Douglas Chamber of Commerce ana
Mines have worked persistently to
have a vice consul appointed here.
Recently, when Senator Cameron was
in Douglas for a few hours, the di-
rectors of the local chamber and
other interested citizens met with
that official and thoroughly discussed
the matter. Various phases of the
situation here were presented to
Cameron and he was shown wherein
the absence of vice consul was
proving embarrassing He then prom
ised to do all in his power to secure
such an official for the port of
Douglas and has been working on
the matter since returning to Wash
ington.
Just when Amsden will come to
this city has not been ascertained,
but it will probably be within the
next two weeks. His office will be
on the Mexican side although he
may live in Douglas.
Alfred Paul of this city when in
formed of Senator Cameron's success
declared:
9Senator Cameron is to be highly
commended. He is always on the
Job and when Douglas wants some
thing done, he invariably does it,"
Rex Rice, president of the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Mines,
termed the gaining of vice consul
for this port, "a move which will
mean great things for Douglas and
the successful termination of years
of persistent and worthy work both
by the Douglas Chamber of Com
merce and Mines and by Arizona's
representatives in Washington"
