Mail Train Delayed.
“Mail trains are being delayed in
Denison on account of the railroad "68
being forced to wait for engines," J
a statement was given out from the
Missouri. Kansas and Texas offices «
late today stated.
“These delays for locomotives are
due to lark of men at the round-
house and shops. The lack of men
to repair and furnish locomotives
for mail trains and all other trains @
without delay is due to the fact that
ample protection has not been pro- U
vided. We can ai.d win put men I
to work in the roundhouse and
■hops just as soon as protection is
afforded. We will not do so until I
that protection is assured.’*

' ministration officials were autbor-

policies pf President Obregon upon
questions impeding recognition of
that government. It was declared
emphatically that the situation was
entirely clear as to the relattens
between the two eountries and fully
understood by Adolfo de la Huerta.

result of his recent conversations
with President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughee.
Danger May Como
It is understood to be recognised
by the Washington government
that cont tn us pee of the present
situation might endanger the
friendly relations between the two
governments, particularly in view
of the application of the Mexican
agrarian policy to the land held by
Americans under valid titles in
Mexico,
The cardinal point upon which
the Washington government has in-'
slated at all times is the security
of valid American titles ip Mexico
to property of whatever nature. H
was again explained today that this
was the chiet aim of the treaty of
amity and commerce suggested to
President Obregon, but which he
found himself unable to accept. If
the security sought is accomplisbed
by regulatory acts of the Mexican
congress or decisions of the Mex-
lean supreme court, however, the
ends of the I'nited States would be
as well satisfied. It was said.
Land Ownership Rub
Since the discussion of tW
treaty, however, there have been
laid before the state department
the cases of several American citi-
zens who invested money in Mex-
ican lands and have since veen
dispossessed of a part or all of the
holdings by the Mexican govern-
ment by acts of "expropriation.
The purpose under the Mexican
policy was to create a large land
holding class in Mexico and the
Washington government was said
today to be completely in sympathy
with that purpose.
It was pointed out, however, that
’’expropriation” in any accepted
sense carries with It compensation
on a fair basis of ths individual
whose property is taken over by
1 a government, and the Mexican
1 government has not as yet moved
to make such compensation to the
American citizens whose property
has been taken.

WASHINGTON, July 20-
Development of plans for
stretching out the nation's
coal supply, now dwingling
under continued impact of
the mine and railroad strikes,
was the immediate concern
today of federal officials act-
ing in the industrial situ-
ation.
Secretary Hoover announced that
within a day or two, the interstate
commerce commission and the com-
merce department would put into
operation a scheme of diverting
to essential transportation lines the
coal coming from non-union mines
and from mines that may be
opened up in union territory by
use of priority orders governing
transportation. The object will be
maintenance of the transportation
machine.
May Ration Coal.
Next in order to the coal sup-
ply from the diminished output it
was indicated it would be the
northern Great Lakes ports, and
should it be found impossible to
avert a shortage, the coal distri-
bution plan might be expanded to
become a complete rationing of
supply to other industries and
territories.
Attorney General Daugherty com-
mented that strike disruptions had
already made it certain there would
be a coal shortage next winter.

Harding's invitation that they
guarantee protection to mine oper-
ation in spite of the strike con-
tinued to come to the white house,
practically all assuring the federal
government support. F
