Mexican nationals in this area he
had recommended that the rail-
road company either cut their
working time to seven hours a day
or change their schedules SO that
the men might work early in the
mornings and in the late after
Moons. He said it was the intense
heat this is prevalent in the after
noon that affects the men most.

of the men and have promised to
have the bodies sent wherever their
relatives desire.

made an inspection trip over the

tions under which imported Mex
ican nationals are working, greatly
