MEXICO CITY, December 23.—A re- port circulated in the United States that a soviet republic had been estab- lished in the city of Puebla was denied by Alberto J. Pani, secretary of foreign relations. It was explained that there had been trouble at the Mayorazgo ha- cienda, in the Aplixco district of the state of Puebla, where a factory had reduced its force, leaving 400 pérsons without work. Several families were ! ejected from the housés furnished by | the factory, without a court decision. The ejected families, assisted by the other workmen, buflt shacks on lands belonging to the Mayorazgo hacienda upon which the factory is situated Agitators from Puebla circulated among the unemployed, hoisting a red and black flag and tried in induce the workers to seize the factory. The owners immediately applied for aid to Gen. Gustavo Elisondo, military commander of the state of Puebla Gen. Elisondo_ sent troops to_protect the plant and later Gen. Jose Sanchez, governor of Puebla, convinced the un- mployed of the wisdom of changing their attituds It wa ted that order and quiet prevailed, and that the workers had lowered their flag and were tearing down their shacks and leaving the llet ienda. It was Jearned that Gen. sondo was under orders from the r department to avoid conflict with lh? workmen. The Puebla Federation of Labor has given out a statement saying that the incident has been settled. PATROLMAN SHOT DEAD.
