Steel Corporation, informed the stock-

holding down the prices of its products
because of the high cost of living.
Referring to inquiries by stockhold-
ers as to why, in view of the great
demand, the cost of production and
prices received by other manufactur-
ers, the prices of the corporation’s
products had not been raised above
those fixed by agreement between the

Dear Birt Replying to your state-
ment in regard to the payment of the
expenses of a State-wide primary elec-
uon, beg to say that your chief com-
plaint now seems to be that the elec-
tion will not cost as much as 2*00.0*0,
the amount estimated by u*,
Evidently in calculating the sort of
a state-wide election you have based
your figures on the old sime wage

NEW YORK, April 10.—Striking rail
officils asserted conditions were ap.

Vigorous protest was made to the
Wa shington government today -by Gov-
ernor W. P. Hobby against the move-
ment of Mexican troops over Texas
soil, in a telegram sent to Secretary
of State Bainbridge Colby. The Gov-
ernor wired:
I "In view of reports that a request
has been made for permission of the
government of the United States to
transport troops from Mexico across
territory of the United States, I desire
to reiterate the protest made by me
_ when a similar request was formerly
made to our government, and to say
even more emphatically that I am un-
alterably opposed to the movement of
Mexican troops over Texas soil, since
it would endanger the lives and prop-
erty of American citizens living on or
near the border between Texas and
Mexico.”

AGUA PRIETA, April 19.—Officials
of the Sonora state government, whose
defection from the Carranza govern-
ment of Mexico federal leaders are
seeking to put down by force of arms,
continued today their dispositions of
men and munitions to oppcse possible
invasion. Meanwhile Sonora forces
were far south of the Sonora border,
pressing through Sinoloa to the attack
of Mazatlan, the principal seaport.
Honora leaders here today expressed
satisfaction at word from Meixco City
that there had been a riing in the
state of Michoacan, even though the
official news of the affair described it
as purely local in character. Another
source of gratification was the news
contained in Sonora official dispatches
that a considerable force of Carranza
troops in Sinaloa had transferred its
allegiance to the Sonora standard and
was active against Carranza forces
there.
Officials here drew favorable con-
clusions from word brought by desert-
