Houston Post Bpedal.
SAN ANTONIO. Texts. Nov. 30.
While the maze of conflicting reports
reaching here todaj concerning condi-
tion Mow the Rio Grande has thrown
n impenetrable screen of uncertainty
orer the entire situation the conviction
b growing in well informed quarters here
that when the veil lifts it will be found
an Irresistible wave of reaction hu setj
in that threatens to engulf the entire
Country and sweep away all existing
factional alignments.
That the present Mexican government
. if tottering and the days of Carranza
are numbered is the onsensus of opinion
imonx Mexican observers here. Even
W . .siMi.a Af fha nrar rhif
of the constitutional jcovermnent are un-
able to conceal anxiety over the new turn
in affairs and would not be surprised at
new the Carranxa government has col-
lapsed. None of these however will
venture a prediction as to whom the
mantle of authority would fall upon in
such an event.
Newt li Censortd.
- following the first reports received
Jbere Sunday from the border concerning
the reported clash in Mexico City be-
tween ' Oonsalea and Obregon followers
new coming out of Mexico has been
tinged with optimism and stamped with
the well known earmarks of Mexican
..r4 'omcialdom. This is lakeHTiere to m
v dicate a rigid censorship has been

its support through holding up the threat!
the country as a result of the
crisis
reached over the arrest snd imorison-1
ment of United Ststes Consul Wiliiam
O Jenkins .
Meagre reports reaching here today
from the border all indicate the feeling
of unrest is at white heat and if an out-
break has not already taken place it can
cot long be delayed as it is only a
question of days until an explosion oc-
curs that will shake the entire country.
Rebel Activity Grows.
This opinion is based on news re-
ceived here that excitement is at a
high pitch at all points afrosH the river
opposite American townd along the bor-
der and constantly recurring reports f
increasing activity in rebels circles
throughout the country.
Typical of reports reaching here is
the information coming by way of El
Paso thst Villa followers are mobilizing
:. ( throughout the state of Chihuahua and
' that definite information of preparations
' for fresh uprisings Is in the hands f
American and Mexican military authori-
ties in El Paao and Juares. That these
reports are well founded is borne out
by the fact the- garrison commander at
Juares. opposite El Paso has issued or-
ders for strengthening outposts and in
creasing guards about the city to prevent
a surprise attack.
Increased rebel activity in the utate
' Of Tamaulipas ia also nored in :ieasages
reaching here from Brownsville. No par-
ticulars as to the identity of the rebels
j or their plans were givrii.
Delias Troops Clashed.
Denial of reports of lighting in Mexico
City between Connie snd Obregon
forces were reiterstcd today by Gon-
aales De La Mata. Mexican consul here.
-MrTDe La Mata emphatically declared all
tumors of a break' between . Gonxalea
and Obregon were utterly without foun-
. dation and that Carrans was still in the
Mexican capital desoiu reports he had
been forced to flee for uerctaro.
It is known however. General Obrc-
" gon was received with a great demon-
stration on-his Jntry in'o MuxicoOiry to
launch his' campaign for the presidency.
Reports received hero dlffor as to the
' day on which lie arrived at the capital
one report svlng he reaohd there
Sunday and tnothor declaring he made

Servant Shortage
In England
Becomes Serious
By JOHN S. STEELE.
Special Cable to the Chicago Tribune.
By Leased Wire to The Houston Post
(Copyright 1919.)
LONDON Nov. 30. The old days In
which American housewives were able
to envy their English sister- for their
plentiful supply of cheap and efficient
household help have gone and a good
many people on this side of the Atlantic
believe that they have gone never to re-
turn. Household help is no easier to
find in England today than it is in Amer-
ica and when it is found it is much less
efficient.
When one remembers too that the
labor saving devices which 'are part of the
equipment of every house and apartment
in America are unknown in England it
will be understood that the lot of the
British housewife is harder than that of
the woman who lives in Chicago or New
Yotk.
Before the war everything in this
country is now dated to "before the wsr"
servants were chap and plentiful in
England. A few years ago the standard I
wage for a competent "general" meaning
a single-handed servant was about J 100
a year. Today the most incompetent be-
ginner demanda twice that wage and gets
it too when the servant aeeker ia lucky
enough to find her.
. In the old days the mistress who quar-
reled with her domestic Mary Jane had
only to apply to the nearest registry office
to secure a host of applicants. Today
every registry has a long waiting list of
mistresses. :

30. That the people of Montenegro
eager for their independence and free-
dom are held under the iron grip of the
Serbs by force of arms b the substance
of the report of the Count De Salia
head of the inter-allied mission whfefc
spent some months in Montenegro anet
Albania. There has been much specula
tion regarding (he exact contents of the
report for after its dispatch to the Eng
lish government more than two months
ago the count with Colonel R G. Cheke
and other British officers was practically
interned in Cetinje and only permitted
to go when a British cruiser arrived in
Cattaro to take him and hia party home.
The report was known to - Serbian
secret agents almost aa soon as it was
sent but has not yet been published la
Britbh newspapers although it is a mat-
ter of common knowledge in the house
of commons and among British missions
interested in Balkan trouble. An ex-
tract of the report states:
"Montenegro ia in the grip of Serbt
who ia ruling at the point of the bayo-
net. All the mayors are Serbians. The
Serba have one division in Montenegro.
All the Montenegrin notables arc in jafl."

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. Just what
will be the result of the attempt to reopen
the coal mines in various sections of the
miiintrv Mnndav is oroDlemallCSl. me
government
is determined however to
keep the mines running and if necessary
to put government forces on duty to pre-
vent disorders.
Neither the miners nor the operators
showed any inclination Sunday to rescind
their decision of last week. The op-
erators are willing to grant the 14 per
cent increase advocated by Fuel Admin-
istrator Garfield but the miners have
taken a determined stand for the 31 per
eeritainerease suggested by Secretary of
tabor Wilson as a fair increase in wages.
Troops Ordered to Mines.
As evidence of the government's de-
termination to resume production to re-
lieve the coal famine an order was issued

Stringent Measures
Taken to Open Mines
Associated Press Report.
CHICAGO. Nov. 30 Rapid develop-;
mf nt Saturday marked the chaotic condi- !
lions in the bituminous coal fields of the 1
country where approximately 400.000 1
miners have been on strike since Novem-
ber 1. but there was no indication of an
immed ate return to production. Posting
of notices by the operatora at the mines
announcing Fuel Administrator Garfield's
14 per cent wage advance was general
but it was agreed no effect of the offer
would be noticed before Monday.
Dr. F. C. Honnold secretary of the
Illinois Coal Operators' association in
a public statement asserted the emer-
gency men left by the miners' union in
the works had been called out in William-
son and Saline counties.
Maryland Miaers Quit.
Workers continued walking out in
Maryland coal fields with 7500 or more
i men idle and probably only a little more
than l."00 left at work with prospects of
a complete tie-up by Monday.
Alabama miners were to resume the
strike at midnight Saturday night because
of dissatisfaction with the wage award.
Minc continued to close in the nnion
fields of West Virginia with about 80
per cent of them idle although nonunion
mines maintained a high rate of produc
tion
i
Onerators generally were ready to
teniot reiaiption of production Monday !'
but with what success depended upon the
attitude of the miners. Many unions in-
dicated their belief the miners would re-
msin on strike.
Pennsylvania Operators Active.
The operators of Pennsylvania were
especially active it was said in plans for
production. Twenty mining companies u
four Central Illinois counties were pre-
paring for operation Monday
