MILITIA SHOOT
 DOWN STRIKERS
Mexico Had Scene of Car- mage Before Home of Gov.
 in Mexico City
By EDWARD P. MORGAN IwTnlka1 Prnaa EtaR CnrrnmmNvaflanRl

0J &DVW AA@O Ge NAOA@GkAkN
 Limited Press stan COrrespOndent)
 Mexico City, Sept. 24--(UP)-A semi-ofiicial source charged today that some hidden force" was be- hind the carnage in front of the home of President Manuel Avila Camachc, in which troops fired into Q crowd of striking workers, killing at least IA and wounding approxi- mately 15.
 "some hidden force is trying to stir up labor troubles" this semi officlal source said. "The govern ment is not going to stand for it. It is awful that anybody was killed. Some people thought Don Manuel was soft. He Is not. Holding man. ifestations at the presidents own house is going too far"
 This source indicated that he thought Axis agents might have stirred up" the trouble, but he was not specific. He sought to draw 6 parallel between Mexican soldiers dispensing the crowd of strikers with bullets and United States soldiers taking over struck defense plants, and alleged that the workers had fired on the troops first.
 Labor Thinks Otherwise
 Labor circles took another view. It was that some 700 members of the striking Federation of Muni- tlons Workers had been peaceably demonstrating in front of the presi- dents home, that their leaders sought to see the president, that the commander of the detachment guarding the president ordered the crowd to disperse, that he corn- manded his men to fire when the strikers did not obey promptly. Union leaders privately expressed anger and amazement and predicted that @ crisis might result between the government and Mexican labor, which is well organized.
 The workers had walked out of the government munitions factory to protest the administration of Di- rector General Luis Bobadilla whom tney had charged with nepotism, discrimination, and maladministra- ton. The factory is on the edge of the fashionable suburb of Chapulte- pee Heights, where Camacho has his private residence.
 Who Struck First?
 They marched to the street in front of Camachos home yesterday afternoon and began demonstrating. Estimates of their number ranged from 700 to several thousand. There was no way of ascertaining who struck the first blow, the soldiers or the workers. Bitter words were ex- changd, rife and machine gun fire rang out, and amid the screams and cries of women strikers, the demon- strators retreated, leaving their dead and wounded behind. The dead in- cluded duiilerrno Rojas Tiburcio, secretary-general of the intuition workers union. It was reported also that Arturo Echevarria and Cutler mo Boy, minor union officials, also were killed, but this could not be confirmed.
 The army instantly applied Q stringent censorship, taking the dead and wounded first to bar racks, to which no outsiders were admitted, then later took the more seriously wounded to hospitals where they were closely guarded.

act yesterday ct the launching of the 36,000-ton battleship Massa- chusetts, has intimated 0 gun shortage. MT. Roosevelt believes, however, that there are guns enough to go around. He told his press conference yesterday that we were headed toward the arnilng of our merchant marine but said do. cision whether to ask for repeal or amendment of the neutrality act toward that purpose would not be reached until next week.
 Wants Appropriation
 The War Department already has informally advised house appropria- ton committee members that 1t wants 6 hurry-up appropriation of $i 900 100000 to accumulate addi- tional equipment sufficient for an army of 3,000o00 men.
 The item urgently sought with those funds are tanks, anti-tank guns and antl-aircraft artillery, those five-inch guns which are ideal armament for merchant vessels be- cause they can be used, aS well, against surface and ushmarine raiders
 MT. Roosevelt in press conference yesterday referred to President Will sons World War experience as the latest of several prGcedents estab- fishing executive authority to put the guns aboard only the neutrality act forbidS 1t. Wilson ordered our merchant ships armed after Q Sen- ate filibuSter, ending &t noon March 4, 1917, blocked legislative authori- zation. On April 6, 1917 Congress declared a state of war to exist with Germany.
 Chairman Sol Bloom of the House foreign affairs committee was con- fident of outright repeal of the neu- trality act if Mir. Roosevelt seeks 1t. Best Senate judgment seemed to be that repeal would carry there with 8 majority of 25 to 30 votes. But isolationists in both houses promised the President the toughest" battle yet if he seeks repeal.
 Could Continue
 If for any reason next weeks de- cision should be against an inme- diate request for repeal or modifi- cation of the act, MT. Roosevelt could continue with the program already undertaken of arming American-owned vessels which es- cape restrictions of the act because they fly the Panamanian flag. At least nine such vessels already have been armed and one of them, the Pink Star en route to Great Britain in @ Canadian convoy. was sunk September 20, presumably by a sub- marine. Those nine were requi- sitioned Danish vessels.
 The Maritime Commission esti- mates that there are more than 100 additional American owned vessels, of which 45 are owned by the gov- ernment and chartered to private operators, operating under the Pan- amanian flag. They could be armed and already may be receiving armament. The nine requisitioned Danish vessels were equipped with guns = presumably United States naval guns = in Atlantic ports. 2 Berlin, September 24. = (UP) -
