Me HAVANA, Jan. 22.—The Mexican delegation surprised the Pan-Ameri- ean conference yesterday when it made known its intention of propos- \ing that the chairmanship of the Pan- | American Union go to the 21 mem- ber nations by rotation instead of being confined to the secretary of State of the United States. The Mexican delegation, it is also understood, objects to having United States citizens permanently occupy- ing the post of director-general of the junion. The move came as a surprise in view of the agreement which Presi- dent Calles is believed to have reached United States Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow. Calles was re- ported several weeks ago to have as- sured the United States. ambassador to Mexico that the Mexican delegation tothe Havana conference would bring up no issues that would “em- barrass” the United States, ee | A hypocritical promise that the would “soon retire from Nicaragua” is the dominant note in the speech made by Charles Evans Hughes, head of the United States delegation at Havana, at a din- |ner given by the American Chamber at Havana for the United States delegation, according Sarcastic references to the fact that similar promises “to retire” from the Philip- piné Islands “as soon as possible” were made to the.

Hinting at the wide-spread protest against the exclusion of Dr. Hunde- court, Haitian independence delegate from the conference where he had in- Haiti by U. S. marines, Hughes said, tended to protest the occupation of “We would leave Haiti any time we had reasonable expectations of sta- bility and could be assured that with- drawal would not be occasion for the recurrence of bloodshed.” Hughes gave the invitation of the American-controlled Diaz regime as = | the reason for the occupation of Nica- |ragua by United States marines. one aS Claiming that it represents 150,000 Porto Ricans residing in the United |States, the Porto Rican Brotherhood of America, New York City, has sent half-hearted and timid telegrams to | the Pan-American conference and President Coolidge asking self-gov- ernment for Porto Rico. Bares Wall Street Methods, United States marines are in Nica- ragua to protect the interests of Wall Street, declared Saloman de la Selva, New York representative of the Nicaraguan Federation of Labor and former instructor at Williams College, in an address at the Civic Club Saturday. Exposing Wall Street’s methods in Nicaragua, Selva satd that Nicaragua had been induced to deposit $3,000,000 in this country at 2 per cent interest and that a little later Wall Street loaned Nicaragua $1,000,000 at 6 per cent interest. More War Planes GARDEN CITY, L. 1, Jan. 22.— The Curtis Aeroplane Corporation has started work on five special fighting planes, part of an order for $250,000 | worth of aviation equipment for the Army Air Corps.” They will be con- structed to fly at an altitude of 20,- 000 feet at 165 miles an hour.

C., Jan. 22.— An “Alvin T. Fuller for President” boom will be di- rected from head- be established here about February 1, according to James P. Nolan, Boston politician. This move was suspect- ed when Governor Fuller hurriedly drew up a report hich sent Sacco nd Vanzetti to their death imme- diately after Cool- idge stated that he “did not cheose to yun.” Hints that the two Italian la- | borers would not die had come from Fuller’s office only the day before the report was issued, according to Boston newspaper men. But Coolidge was considered in the 1928 running, at that time. Through sacrificing the lives of the |two framed workers, politicians be- lieved Fuller would gain a reputation for “law and order” thus forcing him | to the fcre as a worthy successor to | Coolidge who gained his notoriety by smashing the police strike in Boston. PULLMAN PORTERS THREATEN STRIKE WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—A strike of the Brotherhood of Pullman Por- ters will take place if no satisfactory results arise from the conference now being held in this city before the In, terstate Commerce Commission. Adopting a policy of attacking the tipping practice which the negro por- |ters are forced to follow in order to make a living wage, the porters’ union is seeking an increase in pay. The union sets forth that the tip- ping practice violates sections of the Interstate Commerce Act in that pas- sengers are induced to pay additional charges to those marked on their tic- kets. in T. Fuller Sent 2 to Death. Living Wage Asked. The Pullman Company now pays expects that they will be able to pick | up a sufficient remainder for a living | wage. The union is bitterly opposed to this practice. It is also seeking to improve other conditions among the | workers. | - The Pullman Company has refused to deal with the union in violation of the existing railroad labor law. It has also established a company union. The porters .are fighting for recog- nition as their chief aim. Always Less Wages for Anthracite Miners PHILADELPHIA, Jan, 22.—The size and number of pay envelopes dis- bursed by anthracite coal operators is continuously decreasing. | This was made known when the statisties of the Anthracite Bureau of Information were made public. The | statistical survey showed that wage payments last month decreased 13.9 | per cent as compared with the pre-| eeeding month, also that they were 20 per cent less than the payments made in December 1926.
