TRAINMEN VOTE
SOLID FOR STRIKE
Officials May Prevent
Walk-out

CHICAGO, Sept. 3 (UP).-
Trainmen and conductors of 55
western railroads have voted al
most zone hundred per cent for a
walkout," A. F. Whitney of Cleve-
land, president of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, announced
tonight.
'The complete tabulation has not
been made" Whitney told the
United Press. "The result will be
close to 100 per cent for a strike,
however"
Whitney arrived here today to
meet with E. p. Curtis, president
of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors, and other officials and mem
bers of the "Strike Committee" to
tabulate the vote and to consider
the tentative proposal the rail-
roads have offered for mediation.
The committee, numbering be-
tween 115 and 100 men, will con-
slider the proposal of the roads at
a meeting Tuesday and will vote
whether or not to accept it. In
event the committee would vote to
accept the proposal the strike vote
would be set aside, Whitney said.
A strike, if called, would affect
10000 men. The controversy over
which the men threaten to strike
has been waging for several
months. The workers originally
demanded increases of from 10 to
IS per cent. The roads offered to
meet the wage demands in part
but sought to have certain work
ing conditions included in the
agreement.
The men refused the offer and
the strike vote resulted.

allow Beckerman on the ballot.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. 8.
Simultaneous with the extensive
preparations that were being made
during the last few days for the
textile strikers parade today,
special attention was being paid to
plans for strengthening the picket
ing of mills, and particularly bones,

reports have it that the mill barons
intend to launch an intensified drive
to build up a "sizable" nucleus of
strikebreakers by sending special
agents to the homes of mill opera

Never was an army of tens of

that a large delegation of unem-

quietly past the Congress building

MORGAN Grip ON
MEXICO TIGHTENS
Control of National
Railways Looms

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 8 (UP).-
Rehabilitation of the National Rail-
ways cannot be accomplished unless
they are administered as private
enterprise, Luis Monies De Oca,
secretary of treasury, said in his
annual report to congress today. He
urged that statutes be changed so
that the railways could progress
comparably with those of other
countries.
The recommendation of Luis
Monies De Oca, Mexican secretary
of treasury, that the railways of
Mexico be taken out of state con-
troll is regarded as maneuver de-
signed to place the Mexican rail-
ways under control of j. P. Morgan
and Co., thus more effectively tying
Mexico to the apron-strings of
American finance-capital.
Last year when Mexican finances
were in an unusually low state, an
international bankers committee
headed by Thomas w. Lamont, Of
j. P. Morgan and Co., considered
some method of settlement of Mex
lean debts to them. 1t was. unof-
ficially reported that one of the
recommendation of the committee
was that the railroads become a
private instead of state monopoly.
The report of the Mexican secretary
of treasury to congress is thus in
compliance with the wishes of this
Morgan controlled committee.
