By the Associatea rress MEXICO CITY, British-owned Mexico City Tramways Co. was orderea yesterday by Ramon Tioss, governor of the federal district, to name its representative for the hearing to be held by the arbitration and conciliation board next week to consider the strike which has tied up city and interurban street car traflic since March 1. Unless this representative was named within three days. the gov- ernor stated, he himself would make the appointment. Similar _instruc- tions have been sent to the Tramway Employes' Alliance, which is a mem- ber of the Me n Resional Confed- eration of Labor, which declared the strike. The governor's communication to the employes' alliance states specifi- cally that a majority of the tramw. employes belong the alliance. However, the tramways company and the Syndicalist Union assert that fewer than 1.000 of the 4,500 tramway workers belong to the alllance, and therefore the strike is illegal Gov. Ross' orders for the hearing follows the decision of President Calles last night in allowing the tramways company three days in which to end the present strike by recognizing the Tramway Employes' Ailiance. March _ 14.—The to Apprecxatmn e T sent five dollars every week to Benjamin Badminster Beak. The man was old and out of luck, and had great need of every buck, and often, as I mailed a check, I mur- muréd to myseli, “By heck, I'll bet when he is breaking bread, he heaps his blessings on my head!” He had no claim on me at all, save that he married Hannah Hall, who was my wife's step-sister’s aunt, and whom 1 aided him to plant. Relationship was too remote to make me feel I owed a groat to Benjamin Badmin- ster Beak. and yet I staked him every week. For 'twas a pleasant thing to feel that one old pilgrim, down at heel, was blessing me at break of day, and aiso when he hit the hay. Then bleak reverses came along; my bank account, that once was strong. became the sickest thing in town; I had to cut ex- penses down. Said bank account was much too weak to help out Ben- jamin B. Beak. His martial soul it seemed to vex when he received no nice pink checks; he wrote me notes in which he said that he would glad- Iy punch my head; he called me up by telephone and said my heart was made of stone. I was a traitor to my clan, a conscienceless, unworthy man; I was an insult to my sex for cutting off those weckly checks. He’s now my unrelenting foe, and you may hear bad language flow if in his presence I am named; I'm roasted, badgered and defamed. But, rising from financial wrecks, ‘I'll send again the weekly checks. (Copyright) = WALT MASON, THE THRILL TH AT COMES ONCE IN A LIFETIME. THE EVENING GosH AwL Fi5H Hooxs!
