Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, July 10. —Landlords of Mexico are facing what in this country has been ts}ked of only as a humorous possibility—a strike of tenants. The movement, which originated in the formation of “Sindicato de los Aquilinos” at Vera Cruz, has spread| to other large cities where vast num- bers of tenants are refusing to pay their ren,t parading the streets with banners -of protést—and what is more, actually getting away with it, without being ejected from their homes. ¢ At Vera Cruz, the “Syndicate of Tenants,” organized by a certain Heron Proal, a mechanic, has grown sin¢e last March to a membership of 20,000 persons all of whom are re- fusing to pay rent until reductions are made by the landlords. The syndicate was secretly organ- ized and March 1st set as the date for the general strike, when a mon- ster parade, bearing banners an- nouncing the sttike, passed through the streets. Authorities Powevrless Property owners were obdurate, but failed to secure the aid of au- thorities, who claimed they were powerless to enforée payment from 20,000 persons, A deadlock, which still exists, resulted, the landlords endeavoring to oust the tenants and to collect the rent with equal inef- fectiveness. Subsequently, organizers from Vera Cruz appeared at Puebla, Ori- zaba, and other large cities, institut- ing “Syndicates of Tenants,” which have succeeded in sewing up prop- erty as tightly as that in Vera Cruz.

McCann (United Press Staft Correspondent) London, July 10 (United Press)— A successful Russian harvest '~ this summer will mean that, Russia’s af- fairs will be settled next year by a conference, not at the Hague or another outside capital, but at Mos- cow, according to the official 'Sov- iet view. Reports to Soviet headquarters here indicate that the harvest will be successful—successful enough to dispel the black cloud of famine that has overhung the country. “If 'the reports are borne out, as I believe they will be,” a high Sov- iet official said to United Press, “our ordeal i 5 over.
