BLOODY RIOTS IN \ MEXICO CITY END Government Takes Steps to Prevent Repe- tition of Yesterday’s Battle in Wihch 14 Were Killed and 50 Wounded MEXICO CITY, Feb. 2.—(By The Associated Press.) — The government moved today to prevent further bloodshed after yesterday’s sanguinary clash between the “red” fac- tion of street car strikers and troops in which 14 were killed and more than 50 wounded. “Red” strikers numbering 145 were under arrest today and more than 1,500 soldiers were on strike duty with instructions to per- mit no disorders and to shoot to kill if any further attempt is made by} agitation to start trouble. The street car service was much | reduced today and each car carried} armed soldiers. ‘ The striking employes of the Ericsson ‘Telephone company decided | today to return to work. MEXICO CITY, Feb. 2.—(By The Assoc‘ated Press.)—The tramway lines were the center of attention today as the city recovered from the excite- ment created by yeserday's riot be- tween street car strikers and the sol- diers placed on the cars to protect men at work. More than 100 radica!s are under arrest as a result of the disturbance. Fourteen persons are known to have been killed and more than forty wounded during the affray, which occurred in front of labor head- quarters. The trouble started when radical strike sympathizers boarded a car in a suburb and attacked the crew. Their efforts to put the motorman and. conductor off were unsuccessful and as the car passed labor headquar- ters snipers who had secreted them- selves In the building began to fire upon {t. The military guard replied }and.a lively exchange ensued. RURR FEELING PINCH OF HUNGER, COMPLAINTS MADE TO FRENCH (Continued from Page One) thelr duties on many of the interior lines in the occupied area. The French are occupying militarily only the lines surrounding the region and the interior roads are being partially operated by Germans. The strike at Cologne also seems to be petering out. The Duesseldorf station was opened: today for the first time since January 25 with only a small percentage of the scheduled trains running. General Payot, the Frencn quarter. master general, said that the French army service supplies were operating efficiently. Tobacco dealers and manufacturers in the valley have been instructed by the French authorities they must pay the tax on tobacco at Essen or Dues- seldorf, disregarding Berlin's orders to remit direct to the capital. The chief of police to Bochum was arrested and expelled today. The Duesseldorf Nachrichten, which was suspended January 24 will be allowed to resume publication to- morrow. The printers and other workers pleaded with »General De Goutte, resenting they were being deprived of their means of earning a living. A company of French soldiers quar. tered at Bodelschwig had been using the shower baths intended for the the French commanter rep-! miners of a nearby pit. The proprie- tor of the mine objected to this, upon which the captain commanding the ) company informed the magnate that the soldiers from then on would pro- ceed to his beautiful chateau and use his private shower bath. The miners’ showers were immediately thrown open again to the soldiers. FOOD COMPLAINTS TAKEN TO FRENCH DUESSELDORF, Feb. 2,—(By The Assoclated Press.)—Many Ruhr cities and towns are complaining to the French authorities that thelr food supplies are getting lower. The burg- omaster of Recklinghausen, to cite one instance, has informed headquar- ters that his people have only enough ‘A little knowledge of law is sometimes more dangerous and harmful than none at all, When. :it comes to INCOME TAX LAW, see a potatoes to last ten days. This vege- table, together with cabbage and other garden products form the chief diet of the Ruhr workers, few of whom have meat more than once a day. The directors of the four mines in the Dortmund-Gelsenkirchen district, who were ordered to resume coal de- liveries to France immed’ately have been given 24 hours to obey; if they refuse, they will be arrested and tried before a courtmartial. The French have made up their minds to remain here until Berlin surrenders come what may. The inter-allied railway | sub-com- mittee for the Cologne area has reach- ed an agreement with the railway di rectorate in that district whereby the German railway men will resume work as soon as the soldiers are with- drawn. However, no trains carrying reparation shipments will be operated. Coal production continued to de- crease, while the empty cars needed for the transportation of what is mined haye vanished. 2.—-A demonstration in front of the Hotel Frankfort-on Main in which inter-all’ed commis. sioners are living occurred yesterday. The crowd attempted to enter the hotel but the police intervened. BERLIN, Feb. GERMANS CONFER ON FOOD SHORTAGE LONDON, Feb., 2.—Special des- patches from Dusseldorf to the Lon- tion with the government regarding Gruetaner, president of Rhenish Prus- sia, has gone to Berlin for a consulta- tion witn the government regarding the food situation which is causing much anxiety to the German Ruhr authorities. The Times’ correspondent learns from offictal sources that the food supplies are considerably more than is generally believed and are large enough to feed the population “on rations of a sort,” for at least three weeks. In addition, it is said that about 50 per cent of the people nave in storage enough potatoes to last them unt!l summer. The question of suppli in Cologne area is also. being _invest!- gated. It is estimated that these stores are sufficient for two monhs or more unless the disorganization of freight traffic increases. It is be- Ueved that flour, canned milk, pota- toes, fats and sugar are on hand in ample quantity, but there is some un- certainty as to the meat supply. The munfe pal -auhorities in the “area in tend to ask help of the British if the food situation Lecorhes serious. SOLDIERS PATROL RAILROAD LINES. AT THE FRANCO-BELGIAN CUS- TOMS BORDER, NEAR DRACHEL, Feb. 2.—(By The Associated Press.)— The great railroad arteries, fed from the industria! heart of Germany are feeling the first gruelling twists of the troop tourniquet applied by France and Belgium. Today the military cordon flung around the Ruhr appears to be check- ing effectively tha flow to unoccupied Germany of coal, her “economic life blood.” But unlike the surgical oper- ation it resembles, this latest move of the allies is not aiding the eco- nomic body on which it was applied. One of the most tmportant sections of the military front {s the forty kilometer troop barrier between Luenen and Brachel. In a straight lne across the country, a detachment of soldiers today holds the strategic points on the main railway Unes lead- ing out of Dortmund toward such centers as Oldenburg, Bremen, Han- over, Hamburg, Halle, even Berlin itself. ‘The correspondent’s motor car drew up at a lonely cross roads on this line almost within a stone’s throw of Brachel. At the roadside stood a group of French officers examining a map of the district. The officers paused at the sound of the motor and looked up to give the newcomer a discreet greeting as he advanced.
