By the Asaociated Press. MEXICO CITY, April 1—Striking workmen attempted to enter forcibly the factory of the Eclipse Shoe Manu- facturing Company here today for the purpose of ousting strikebreakers who had taken their places, and operating the plant under their own direction. Police reserves which were rushed to the scene prevented the successful carrying out of the plan. The idle men, who had gathered outside the factory walls, had been attempting to induce strikebreakers to leave their places, and when it was suggested that the strikers should rush the plant the situation seemed serious. The industrial situation in many parts of the republic was described as “acute” today in a communication made public by the department of in- dustry and commerce. This communi- cation was directed particularly to President Obregon and the treasury department, and declared that the recent railway strike had virtually been liquidated by the strikers re- turning to work. The aftermath of the strike, however, was serious, it was pointed out, the stoppage of work for six weeks having resulted in_congestion of rolling stock and deterioration of operative power to such an extent that trains are run- ning with delays frequently amount- ing to thirty-six to forty-eight hours. “The sequel of the railroad strike,” the communication declared, “has been | extremely serious to many industries, { which probably will be forced to close down unless -there .is an immediate adjustment.” g Zinc is the secret of the lasting quality of HPC paint.
