Strike Delayed
On S.P. Line
In Mexico

Train service on the Southern
Pacific de Mexico's Mexican west
coast route was resumed Wednesday
evening as a strike of workers was
postponed until Saturday.
Fernando E. Romero, local strike
leader of the Syndicate of Railway
Workers of the Republic of Mexico,
was informed late Wednesday from
Mexico City that the strike was
delayed.
Romero asserted President Miguel
Aleman of Mexico had asked the
postponement in the hope the issues
could be settled.
All train departures from Nogales,
Sonora, which had been cancelled
as of pm, Wednesday were re-
instated within an hour. Between
$50 and 300 men had been Sched-
uled to walk off their jobs here and
hundreds on the west coast of Mex
ico.
At issue now, according to Ro-
nero, are revision of contract
clauses; violation of previous con-
tract agreements by the company
and failure to boost wages to a pre-
agreed level, except in some cate
gOrieS.

How To
Improve Schools
Discussed

How to improve the Nogaaes school
system highlighted a meeting OF
about 40 persons, mostly parents, a
week ago last night at the Woman'S
Club.
Several suggestions were made
chief of which was that a parent
teachers association is needed here
No one seemed to know who called
the meeting. Attorney Frank j
Barry, Br., presided as chairman.
Among the speakers were Miss
Margaret Palmer, Mesdanes J. H
Choate, C.. l.. Harker, Milford Noon
j. H. Flanagan, Harry A. Wilson,
John Atkinson, and Messrs. E. S.
Edmonson, Lloyd Ledford, James "
Robins, James w. Manson, Gordon
Farley, Milford Noon, and Rev.
John Atkinson.
Discussion largely centered on
whether a parent associa-
ton should be organized, or the
schools should continue with moth
ers' clubs. Decision in the matter
will be made this fall.
Mrs Choate declared she thought
the friction in the schools was be
tween the teachers and the mothers
and the principals, mostly, she said
between the mothers and teachers
She favors a parent-teachers associ-
aticn and said such an organization
would do much to iron out the diff
culties between teachers and par
ents.
Mrs. Harker said she favored
mothers clubs and that her son hao
not had a writing lesson in nine
years.

State Legislature To Convene In
Special Session Monday To
Consider Social Security Problems

PHOENIX, June 5-ArizOna's
18th legislature will convene in
special session Monday, Governor
Osborn having issued a formal call
Monday.
The subject to be considered is
limited to one item-social security
and welfare problems.
The governor said second special
session will be necessary to act on
other urgent matters. However,
yesterday he was not prepared to
say when.
The chief executives idea in limit
ing the session to social security
and welfare was understood for the
specific purpose of permitting law
makers to concentrate on one prob
lem, without becoming involved in
extraneous matters which might
prevent Strengthening the state
tangle as soon as possible.
The legislators must iron out the
tangle not later than July /. If it
is not done, the state has been noti-
fled by the federal social security
agency that it will cease to partici-
pate in federal matching funds for
welfare and social security purposes.
The government contends action
taken by the 18th legislature in
regular session early this year has
disrupted the merit system under
which employees of the state and
county boards of social security
work. Conformance to the system
is prerequisite on the part of the
state for funds eligibility.
The governors proclamation de-
clared an emergency has arisen
which affects the cooperation of
the federal government in the Ari-
zona social security and welfare
program and imperils the health
and welfare-if not the lives-of
thousands of our citizens who, be-
cause of age, blindness and other
disability, must rely on and are
entitled to rely on the assistance
accorded them by law
Therefore, the governor wrote, II
call the 18th legislature to meet in
special session at the capitol June
81 1947, at 10 am, and specify the
| following subject to be considered:
