HARDING S "% THNK REGOENTION OF NEACO NEARR Huerta’s White House Call Followed by Visit to Sec- retary Hughes. Mexico City Press Attaches Great Importance to Finance Min- ister’s Conference. s Possibility of the recognition of “fexico by the United States was be- lleved to have been brought nearer through the conference yesterday of Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican minis- ter of finance, with President Harding at the White House, according to the Assoclated Press. With Minister de la Huerta were also Brig. Gen. J. A. Ryan, retired, repfesentative of associated ofl in- terests In Mexico, and Senator Bur- sum of New Mexico. Later the Mexican minister and Gen. Ryan called at the State Department and conferred with Secretary Hughes. The status of Mr. de la Huerta was said to be that of a private citizen of Mexico, but it was understood that general problems affecting the rela- tions of the two countries were dis- cussed. He came to Washington from New York, svhere he has negotiated with bankers for refunding Mexican loans. MEXICO CITY OPTIMISTIC. Newspapers Say Huerta Visit Made Under Happy Auspices. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 19.—The visit of Adolfo de la Huerta to Washington is of an officlal character, according to the unanimous official versions ex- pressed here. It is stated that the visit 1s being made in order that he may outline the general Mexican sit- uation to the State Department. Gen. James A. Ryan, representative of the Texas Ofl Company in Mexico City, who has been in New York throughout the debt and oil confer- ences, iz named here as the interme- dlary who carried the official invita- tion from the State Department to Secretary de la Huerta and arranged the visit to the White House. The enthusiastic optimism for im- mediate recognition which was prev- alent two months ago is lacking in newspaper circles now. AN attach, however, great importance-to'the sec- retary's stop in Washington, express- ing the belief that his “honesty, sin- cerity and patriotism will succeed in removing many of the clouds of mis- understanding between the two coun- tries.” El Heraldo sums up the Mexican situation by stating that Secretary de la Huerta goes to Washington under happy auspices. Francisco Gorozave has been killed, Carlos Green has asked for an amnesty and Juan Car- rasco has been decisively de{mtadfl'}‘l‘ e United States zuthorities are satisfled with the Mexican investigation of the ‘Bielaski case, it asserts. From these facts it concludes that the situation as a whole looks decidedly better. Disturbed conditions are reported from Oaxaca, where a rebel uprising, induced by unsatisfactory results in the recent elections, had taken place. Mario Ferrer, a rebel leader, with a considerable following, is reported de- clisively defeated near El Chilar. PASTOR’S IRE ROUSED ~BY DEATH THREAT FROM MOONSHINERS By the Associated Press.

I find that in this strike ballot three questions are presented on which you were requested to vote 2s to whether or not you would strike, as follows: First—You were asked to vote as to whether or not you would strike in protest against the reduction in wages effective July 1, 1922, which reduction was in accordance with the decision of the United States Railroad Labor Board made after exhaustive consideration of the question upon which numerous hearings were held at which you were strongly and ably represented. As I advised you in my letter of July 12, an agreement was entered into on April 27, 1922, between this company and the organiza- tion in which the rules governing employment and methods of determining the rates of pay were agreed upon. Among the rules agreed to was Rule No. 54, reading as follows: Rates of pay for employes named herein will be those mutually agreed upon by the C. and O. executive board of the organization, party to this agreement, and representatives of the company, or as authorized by the United States Railroad Labor Board. Surely no one can construe this-rule to mean anything but that if the representatives of the organization could not agree with the representatives of the company as to rates of pay, that they in this agreement made on April 27, 1922, agreed to-accept the rates of pay as authorized by the United States Labor Board. Second—You were asked to vote as to whether or not you would strike for the restoration of rates of pay pre- asked to vote as to whether or not you would accept rates of pay which have been in effect for an entire year. In view of the fact that in the agreement dated April 27, 1922, there is no mention of any protest as to your wages in effect Apfil agreement, it would seem that this is rather a late garded as an attempt to further aggravate the matter by producing an alleged additional grievance. Fhird—This section states that: declaring vacations and sick leaves with pay abrogated, effective March 1, 1922, and in doing so they declared the ‘10DOWN vailing prior to July 1, 1921—in other words, you were | since July 1, 1921, nearly a year prior to the date of the - date to inject this into the situation, and can only be re- “February 25, 1922, the management issued a ruling ‘previous practices’ Tule cancelled, although they failed to .

April 10, 1922, the president of the railway issued general instructions to the heads of departments with respect to sick leaves, vacations and Saturday afternoon relief, which afforded the employes nothing like as good arrangements in these respects as formerly existed. ‘Will you strike for the restoration of “the previous practices” as they existed prior to March 1, 19227"” We consider the rules with reference to vacations, sick leave, &c., as having been eliminated by the ruling of the labor board in decision No. 630. I promudgated instruc- tions in accordance with our interpretation of this ruling, in which I endeavored to do what seemed to me to be the fair thing so far as this condition was concerned. I still think that our present rule is entirely fair. The organiza- tion’s representative, however, did not feel that our con- struction of the rule was proper, and in view of that fact we jointly submitted it to the labor board. It is still pending before the labor board, who have not yet announced a decision in the matter. It would not seem that it is reason- able to strike upon a matter which has not yet been decided, by the authority to whom we jointly submitted it. In striking on that issue the law is being violated, as it re- quires that no strike shall occur until after the labor board decides the issues involved, and they have not yet decided that issue, although it is before them on joint submission. It seems to me in view of the above explanation, in which I have tried to be as accurate as I can possible be, that if a strike is declared it will be a uselgss one, and clearly and directly in violation of the agreement made by your organ- ization. If the organization will not adhere to its agreement, signed by its responsible representative, it would seem use- less to attempt to make an agreement with it. I desire to reiterate and strongly emphasize the facts contained in my letter to you of July 14, reading as follows: “Information has reached this company from reliable sources that a number of our employes have been advised - that if they do not go on strike, if they are so ordered by the clerks’ organization, they will not be allowed to retain their positions when the strike is over. . “This company assures every employe who remains with'" the company that he or she will be protected in the per-'* formance of their duties, and that also will be protected in, . the retention of their positions when the strike is over, if ° one occurs.” . In the event the clerks do strike, it will be necessary, of course, under the law, and to carry out its duties to the _public, for the company to continue to operate the property, for ‘which the necessary complement of clerks will be ORDERED TO SUPPLY SCHOOL.
