ment, is angry but silent about the let
ter sent Coolidge by George clemen'

the cabinet. 1.-The question now re-

Some consider that Clemenceau has
deliberately tried to put the regime Of
Poincare in fix. Some of the papers
come back at the so-called tiger" by
saying he should have spoken long ago

This occurred after Bouillon had a

FIELD TO
URGE u. S. BREAK.
With MEXICO
Catholics Threaten to
Shut DOwn Schools
Especial to The DAILY worker)


MEXICO CITY, Aug. s.-PredictIons
Of a diplomatic break between the
United States and Mexico are limited
at here on the eve of Ambassador
sheffleId's return to the United States.
Attaches of the U. S. embassy say
that the delivery of the latest note on
the petroleum laws at this time does
not foreshadow any interference from
Washington in the religious struggle
which is considerable purely domestic
affair. This disavowaI is meaningless.
The public will only see in Shefield's
note indications of harmonious pol
icy between Rome and Wall Street.
Threat to Close Schools.
The latest catholic threat is one to
shut down the schools. The govern
ment is prepared to take more drastic
action should the clergy continue in
rebellion. The clergy are appealing to
foreign governments to intervene in
their behalf. The announced intention
of the governments to nation ksze the
protestant schools may give other gov
ernments an excuse to interfere. 1t is
reported that the British government
has already made representations but
this report is denied from London.
Cal Denies Another Report.
LUDLOW, Vermont, August 9. II
President Coolidge denied a report
that he had long conversation with
President Gales of Mexico on the
telephone, relative to the religious
question.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 9. - James r.
Sheffield, United States ambassador to
Mexico is leaving here within a few
days. Sheffield who is bitter foe of
Mexico will tell President Coolidge
that the Gales administration has not
observed the terms of the Warren
Oregon terms that paved the way
for recognition.
The Mexican government has
aroused the ire of the foreign oil
magnates because it has refused to
violate it's own laws to suit the greed
of the American exploiters. Sheffield
is expected to exert his influence on
Coolidge in favor of a diplomatic break
with Mexico. Here in Mexico the
great majority of American business
men believe the Washington admins
tration should maintain strict neutral
ity in the struggle between the church
and the state.
To Regulate Production.
Under new decree issued by Pres
ident Gales, the government reserves
the right to regulate the production of
oil wells. Political observers see in
this move a feeling on the part of the
government that the oil men might
take advantage Of the present crisis
to support another adventurer who

Green stated that he would give the
delegation members personal creden-
tails to all affiliated national and state
organizations and would draw up an
itinerary for the delegates to follow.
He states that the printing trades
and the building trades could afford to
be most generous, also the anthracite
miners. The bituminous miners, he
conceded, were not in such good
circumstances because of unemploy-

MY organization is simply wonder
A'l full, senator" testified Morris
Eller, a Chicago politician, while on
the witness stand at the slush fund
hearings. He was telling it to James
A. Reed, Of Missouri. In reply to a
question he admitted that this beau.
tiful organization was composed OF
job holders. Without the patronage
that goes with public office none OF
the politicians could hold their own
for any length OF time. Even in Wis
consin, where purity is the watchword
OF the heirs OF LaFollette's political
state. the machine is held intact with
the aid of patronage.
THIS system Is universally applied
wherever the capitalist psycholo-
gist prevails. Even in the labor move
ment men are induced to favor this
side or the other for consideration.
