MEXICO WARNS
OIL WILL GO TO
Reich, ITALY
Cardenas Puts Heat on
u. S.-BritiSh Interests
BvH. KNICKERBOCKER

MEXICO CITY. Jan. % GN.So
Mexico is turning the heat on the
British and American ollmen who
lost property they value at an estl
mated S5OO.O00.000 in the oil fields
and plants appropriated here last
March bv the government OF PreSl
dent Lazaro CardenaS.
Until now the outside world has
believed that the oil companies
bv blocking sales of the exproprl-
ated Oil in the territories lnflu
enced by the United States or
Great Britain. we're in a superior
economic position to coerce Mex
leo.
GERMANY, ITALY, JAPAN
Now President Cardenas, in an
exclusive interview with 1nterna-
tlonaI News Service, declares that
if the oilmen do not speedily de-
eide to buy the oil which used to
be theirs. and by this means take
compensation for their eXpropri-
ated property, the Mexican gov
ernment will soon make long-term
contracts to sell its oil elsewhere. "
Elsewhere" means to Germany,
Italy and Japan. and possibly to
some Latin American states, the
only countries so far willing to
trade in the appropriated oil.
Until now Mexico has been bar
tering the oil piecemeal to these
countries with each sale a sepa-
rate transaction. Now a leading
Mexican authority tells me that if
Mexico we're willing to sign a five
to-ten-year contract, she could sell
all her oil to Italy alone, and re-
Ceive high percentage of the
payments in cash.
TWO ALTERNATIVES
Such long-term contracts would
establish trade connections which
could be fatal to American COM
merce wit h Mexico, normally
amounting to more than $300,000,-
900 a year of exports and imports.
So, in the Mexican view, it is now
up to the oil companies to hold
out for the return of their prop
critics as they are now doing and
get nothing. or take a compromise
save something for themselves, and
rescue Americana Mexican trade in
the bargain.
Mexican authorities say the
value Of the above.soil property of
the Americans and British would
not be more than around $50, ,000,-
600. The difference of the eSti-
mate of the companies and that
of the Mexican government, 10
to /, is good index to the gulf
that separates them. But Presi-
dent Cardenas now warns that the
gulf may grow impossible.
WHATEVER is BEST"
what is of interest today"
he said, lis to know whether
there are American or English
companies willing to buy the oil
of Mexico before the government
binds itself to sell it to other
countries over a long period of
years We were to make long
term contracts for the sale of
the appropriated oil and I am
sure we could get a larger per
centage of cash than the so per
cent we are now getting"
do you forsee that Mexico
will go in for barter more and
more?"
Mexico uses the barter sys-
tenn to dispose of its oil in view
of the fact. that the ordinary
channels of foreign trade are
being obstructed. Mexico will
employ whatever system best
meets its internal needs"

Auto Mechanics Open
Cooperative Garage

Omaha, Neb. (AFLWNS). - Auto
Mechanics Union No. 1904 Of the In
ternational Association Of Machinists,
an affiliate Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, has opened coopera-
tive garage at Sixteenth and Ohio
Streets in Omaha and seeks the pa
tronage Of union men and the general
public.
Officials Of the union stated that its
members have been deprived Of jobs
because Of the drive to put the auto
mobile repairing business on a basis
where the men working on the cars
could enjoy some Of the rights guaran-
teed by the National Labor Relations
Act.
1t was stated that the union had
been using every effort to reach an
agreement with the garage operators
and dealers, but that the policy of pro-
crastination pursued by the employers
indicated that there is no sincere de-
sire on their part to give the automo-
bile owner an even break in repairs for
his car.
Therefore the Auto Mechanics Union
started the cooperative repair garage
so that they can make living and at
the same time demonstrate to the pub
lie the advisability of having repairs
made in a garage where only trained
workers are employed.

Policy Of Picketing

st. Paul, Mimi. (AFLWNS).-In a
serious attempt to curb wildcat
strikes which have embarrassed the la

and Labor Assembly have established
general policy committee to set up
a working organization Of representa-
tives Of the various A. f. Of l.. unions

ing house to determine the justification
of any strike or the picketing of an un-
fair concern. The committee will have
authority to rule on the legitimacy of
any proposed strike, and if in it's opin-
ion the strike is not justified it will
refuse to sanction it or recognize any
picket lines established
The policy committee will consist of
two members Of the building trades
unions, two members from the team
sters unions, two member Of the print
by the President of the Trades and La
Dor Assembly as representatives of the
miscellaneous crafts.
