FLAGRANT DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST THE AMERICANS
In the Railroad Service in Mexico Is Charged by B. I. E.
and 0. R. C Officials.
To the American Public.
LAREDO. Texaa. April 17. Bellevlnc
that tha American people are Interested
and that they have a right to know the
facta In conneotlon with the forced with-
drawal from the aervlce of the- National
Rallwaya of Mexico of the several hun-
dred American cttltena who have tot
Many yaara bean employad by theae rail-
ways aa engineers and conductors we
submit tti following statement covering
tha situation: We are prompted to do so
because e fel that the flagrant diecrlm-
lnatlon by the- Mexican government
against American citizens la deserving
of consideration at thebanda of tha
American people.
- it la well known that when American
capital was Invited to Mexico to develop
that country through railroad building
It waa necessary to secure from tha
United States or soma other foreign
country experienced men to operate tha
railways owing to tha fact that tha na-
tive cltlsehs were totally Incapable of
doing so. The engineers and conductors
Were generally secured in tha United
States and went to Mexico under assur-
ance of fair treatment aa to wages and
conditions of employment which Were
set forth In contract stipulations between
the management of the railways and
committees representing these employes.
This arrangement operated to the mu-
tual satisfaction of all concerned and r.o
serious controversy arose between the
railways and the organisations of en-
gineers and conductors until the Mex-
ican government secured control of the
Eter part of the railway mileage in
loo buf since that time there has
carried on a deliberate' and sus-
tained system of discrimination against
American engineers and conductors tha
sola purpose of which waa to force Amer-
ican employes out of the aervlce without
regard to the fact that many -of thorn
bave worked faithfully for these railways
for from twenty to thirty years having
left the united- Plates In the prime of
manhood when there were praotlcally nd
Mexican eltlaeni capable of performing
the dutlaa of engineers and conductors.
These men have given the best year of
their lives to the service of the Mexican
railways aa well as giving the benefit of
their knowledge and experience to tha
Mexican people and now upon tha de-
mand of certain labor organisations of
native sons who bave taken for their
slogan "Mexico for Mexicans" and who'
oovet the positions that have been filled
so long and efficiently by the Americans
the Mexican ' government basely un-
grateful of the seiVlcee rendered by tha
Americana has issued Instruction
through lis Secretary of communications
abrogating the agraemanu between tha
railways and the American employes and
Imposing conditions upon said emplnyea
ImpoaalMa el fulOllment . .
.' A word hare as to ownership of tha
allway properties Involved may be of In
rest: Out of a capitalisation' of nearly
1450000000 tha Mexican government has
only ; put Into tha properties in- actual
cash approximately tt00ooo. It la true
that la exchange for MM00 mora than
one-half af the S28000a000 authorised
stock tha government guarantees tha
principal and interest on certain out-
standing' bonds. While this deal gave
the Mexican government control of tha
railways Involved under certain un-
known contract limitations it did not
make said railways exclusive government
institutions to the extent of justifying;
the clamor of Mexican citlaens that none
but Mexloana were entitled to employ-'
ment thereon.
We quote below from tha declaration
Of principles of one of tha native Mex -lean
organisations to show that tha fact
of being am American would prohibit one?

live power etc. ..The society has been
projected with the sole object of forcing
of and carrying Into eflteot. the Mexlcan-
lsatlon of the Mexican rail way a" etc.
In addition to the above there Is abund-
ant evidence to show that the purpose
of the Mexican organisation s supported
by the Mexican government la to allm
Inate American employee from the serv-
ice of Mexican railways. It la estimated
that there are something like (00 Amer-
ican engineers and conductors in the
service of these rallwaya and these men
were forced to retire upon dictation of
the native labor organisations of Mexico
supported by the government. In the face
of the fact that an shown by the prelim-
inary report of the Thirteenth census
there are In the state of Texan alone
lat 817 native born Mexicans enjoying
freedom of employment In accordance
with their capacity and suffering from
no discrimination on account of their na-
tionality from either tha government of
the United States. American employers
or organisations nf employes.
in view or xne neiermineo attitude or
the Mexican government to displace
Americans and after having exhausted
every possible means of securing suull
trbi as would guarantee fair and just
treatment the American engineers and
conductors decided to withdraw from the
service of the National railway in a
body. Instead of Buffering themselves to
be displaced In small numbers at a time
at the convenience of the authorities and
in tha meantime not only place their
lives In Jeopardy but be subjected to
humiliation and Inault at the hands of
Mexican employes and organisations
coveting their posttlona and desiring
their hasty departure.
We have every reason te believe that
tour government has not only been fully
advised as to the foregoing but that It
haa through diplomatic channels made
representations to the Mexican govern-
ment In our behalf for which we are
duly grateful and In common with thou-
aanda of our countrymen who have been
forced out of Mexico leaving millions tl
Sroperty behind them on account of
angers due to th strong anti-American
feeling existing there wa aubmlt our
wrongs to such further consideration as
