Good News:

Figures Show Less
Unemployment

The relief lines, which
make a grim but accurate
graph Of true business condi-
tions. are getting shorter in
Tacoma.
Private industry. hypoed by war
preparation activity is beginning
10 hum. absorbing more and more
of the thousands of "rehefers" and
those on WPA.
The figures prove it.
During July. according TO
George v. NJ. Brown, county
welfare administrator. there
were only SIS employable
cases representing about 1000
individually requiring relief.
As early rs last February.
Brown said, the number was
1,163 cases affecting about
$500 persons).
Unless these persons have
left the city, there Is only one
explanation, Brown explained.
They have been taken back
into private industry. The
trend Is definite; during Aug
ust II has been even more
marked, with still fewer en-
ployables asking aid.
Browns department also handles
old-age assistance. aid to the blind
and dependent children. Numbers
Of persons in these categories re-
main fairly constant, as might be
expected.
But not so the general assistance
category. That is the one which
has shown so much improvement
for the better. In February a total
of S31. 100 was expended to 6,113
persons of this classification, these
figures were reduced in July TO
read: s20,534 for 3,17s persons.
wPA employment figures show
re same trend.
During the past year the
number of certified WPA
workers In the city has dropped
approximately 1000. Presently
there are $500 men and wom-
en- certified for WPA work,
hut this number Is steadily
decreasing, according to Ia
coma WPA officials.
All in all the employment situa-
ton in Tacoma appears brighter
than at any period since the be-
ginning of the depression years

Vicente Cortes Herrera, general
manager of the government oil
company, charged the workers with
theft, payroll padding, lack of dis
cipEne and neglect of duty. The
union has confirmed the report
that 1882 workers have been added
to the industry since the foreign
properties were appropriated. but
has denied maladministration was
the cause of losing contracts worth
millions.
Deficit of 81 800, 900.
Whatever the truth of these
charges. Finance Minister Eduardo
Suarez announced a few days ago
that the operating deficit" of the
government oil administration last
year was 22,00O, 900 pesos ($1 300, ,0O0) .
Much of the production difficulties,
government officials say, have been
compounded of the collapse of her
principal foreign markets with the
outbreak of the war-notably Ger
many; internal difficulties due to
demands of the unions 10000 men,
bers and some maladministration.
There was also the fact that the
nations storage facilities-18, 900 900
barrels-Were about exhausted. Con-
sequently production was reduced
from 100000 barrels daily to 1T 900,
which involved deterioration of idle
properties.

Mexico Is Reported
In Settlement With
Sinclair Oil Co.
Plan Is Declared to Pay
1900, 900 Barrels as
Full Indemnity
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. March ga set
tleinent with the Sinclair Oil inter-
ests, indicating break in the
worldwide boycott established by
big petroleum interests when Mexico
appropriated their properties two
years ago, was reported reliably
today.
Disclosure of a plan to pay the
American firm 100000 barrels of
oil as full indemnity for its seized
properties was made by one of Pres
ident Lazaro Cardenas' closest
advisers.
The informant said the concrete
settlement plan, brought here by
MeXico's Ambassador to Washing
ton, Francisco Castillo Najera, would
be signed within few days.
Sees Cardenas Three Hours.
The Ambassador himself strength
ened this opinion after a three-hour
interview with President Cardenas
and officials of the government oil
monopoly. He said the President
would make an announcement be
fore I leave and hope to return to
Washington next Monday or Tues
day"
AS outlined, the Sinclair settle
ment would involve little or no cash
and the 100000 barrels of oil
currently valued at about 100000
would be furnished over a period
OF years as yet to be determined.
The predicted agreement was re-
garded in government circles as the
first step toward favorably conclud-
ing the controversy that burst when
President Cardenas seized the hold
ings of II United States, British and
Netherlands companies in March,
1888.
Precedent for Settlement.
One government official said the
agreement would:
Cd Break the united front the
worlds powerful Oil corporations
have maintained against Mexico;
CD Provide transportation IA
cilities for Mexican oil in world
markets. since use of Sinclair
tankers was said to have been
guaranteed.
90 Establish diplomatic
precedent for settlement, thus
eliminating the excuse for official
intervention by home govern
ments of the various companies,
and
"a Establish Mexico's capacity
to pay compensation.
Dispute Over Valuation.
Principal differences between the
appropriated companies and the
government have been their valua-
tions of the seizures. The companies
contended their properties were
worth $400,000,0OO while Mexicos
valuation was SIS 100000.
The reported agreement follows
upon a comprehensive 14-point pro-
gram to rehabilitate the badly run
down properties. As announced last
week by President Cardenas, it in
wolves discharge Of 1000 employees
and creation of sinking fund of
20 per cent of foreign sales to in
demnify the companies.
Equipment Run Down.
Under boycott pressure, Mexico
has been unable to purchase new
equipment and requirements. Her
refineries, pipe lines and drilling
apparatus all are in rundown con-
dition. Production has repeatedly
fallen from 10000 barrels a day to
5000 at one refinery.
