TRUST
PAYS WORKERS
$1S.O2 A WEEK
Bell System Opposes
Union Organization
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

WASHINGTON, April 10 = Weekly
wages of the 10000 employees OF the
telephone trust in the United States
averaged $19.O2 in 1924, while the
undivided profits and reserves Of the
combine reached $99S,667,OS4.
These statistics include the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Co., the
parent corporation, and 25 Bell tele-
phone systems thruout the country in
the operating field. Nothing Of the
business Of the manufacturing COM
panies, such as the Western Electric,
is included.
Total investment and assets for the
combine are reported at S2,93S. 000, 900.
In 1924 the net income of the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Co. was
s1O7, 4O5,O46 and for the Bill systems
it was S136,5O2, 931--a total net In
come of $343,907 ,977. The American
Telephone and Telegraph charges the
Bell companies 41AS6 of their gross
income for the use Of its patents. It
also permits the Western Electric to
charge these companies high fees for
minor services.
In spite of the rapid piling up Of
dividends and reserves, the trust is
seeking rate increases in many cities.
In Seattle the city has started proce-
dure to seize the poles and conduits,
while the company is operating with
out franchise. In Boston, another
legal battle is being fought. The 1925
report shows that rates have gone up

AMBASSADOR TO
MEXICO PLOTTED
MADERO'S DEATH
Charge Made BY Mexico
AttOrney-General
Especial to The Daily Worker)


MEXICO CITY, April 13.-The Mex
lean government has taken a lesson
from the example Of the Soviet Re-
public and presented as a counter
claim against it's lmperlalist enemies
demands tor damages and injuries
caused to its own nationals by such
: forces.
! Mexican officials will present before
the general claims commission now in
session at Washington, D. c., claim
for $10,OO0,0O0 to compensate for the
damage done to Mexico by the inter-
ference in its internal affairs of Henry
Lane Wilson, United States ambassa-
dor to that country in 1913. 1t was
In that year that Francisco Madero
was overthrow as president and
killed by the revoltuionists.
The Mexican government has an
abundance of proof to show that Am
bassador Wilson, who was an ap-
Dointee of ex-President Taft, had
part in the events which led to Ma
dero's deposition and subsequent
death. According to this evidence a
conference was held in the Office of
the American embassy here on Feb
ruary II, 1918, at the suggestion of
Ambassador Wilson. General Felix
Diaz, the leader at that time of the
revolutionary movement against Ma
dero, was present, as were General
Mongradon and the Spanish and Aus
trian ministers, who seem to have
been involved in the American plot.
Mexican officials Of that time, who
have given their testimony to these
facts and who were present at the con-
ference, include Rogue Estrada, then
minister of Justice; Luis Manuel Ro-
Jas, president of the chamber of depu-
ties; Juan Sanchez Ozcona, deputy,
and owner of the daily newspaper. the
New Era, and Alfredo Robes Domin-
CUES, governor of the federal district
Their testimony charges that Am
bassador Wilson told them President
Taft had given him full authority to
act in the Mexican situation for the
protection of American interests. He
then proposed that those present
should withdraw the support of the
groups which they represented from
the Madero administration. Domin-
CUES and Rojas state that when they
pointed out to Wilson that a new gov
eminent could not legally be estab-
lished so long as Madero was alive,
Wilson turned to them, a sneer upon
mis- face, and exclaimed: 1--WE are not
here to give lessons in constitutional
ISM" He added, after he had scru-
tinized the conferees: There are,
however, gentlemen present to take
care of Madero, so far as he is con-
eerned."
No American Reply.
The publication in the local press
of the news that Foreign Minister
Saentz and Attorney General Romeo
Ortega have secured dispositions from
these former leaders and authorities
proving the American completely in
Madero's death has caused a sensa-
ton. The present American minister
has issued no reply to the charges.
