Crneral Obrcgon's Delay in Rati
fying Agreement With Ameri-
cans
Is Puzzling Militia Cun
Be
Sent Across Boundary.
WASHINGTON-, May 9. With S000
additional troops under orders for the
Mexican border, including 4000 Na
tional Guardsmen from Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas, Administration offi
cials felt tonight that necessary steps
had been taken to prevent further raid
ing of American border towns by ban
dits. President Wilson and his Cabinet
discussed the Mexican situation today,
but the President had authorized the
new troop orders before his advisers
gathered. General Scott and General
Kunston recommended early in the day
that additional forces be sent to the
border. After an exchange of tele
grams General Funston suggested that
the National Guard from the three
states named be called out in addition
to the sending of all the remaining
infantry to Join his command. His
suggestion was promptly approved and
orders were dispatched.
Obregon's Delay Causes Pessimism.
Borne members of the Cabinet were
frankly pessimistic, after the meeting,
over the delay of General Obregon in
ratifying the agreement he negotiated
with General Scott covering co-opera
tive border operations, including those
of General Pershing'B expedition. Re
ports from Mexico City indicated that
the agreement had been approved by
General Carranza. and officials here
were at a loss to understand Obregon's
action.
The majority of the President's ad
vlsers believed that the agreement
finally would be ratified, and that the
border situation would clear Itself
quickly thereafter. It was clearly in
timated in all quarters, however, that
there would be no change in the policy
of the Washington Government; that
the troops would stay in Mexico until
the border was safe from incursions;
that raiders would be pursued across
the line every time they became active,
and that the whole strength of the
National Guard would be used if neces
sary.
Other Mllltla JVot "let Considered.
Pecretary Baker said the question of
railing Guardsmen from other states
into the service was not under imme
diate consideration. It was learned.
however, that General Kunston already
had been supplied with all papers,
forms and instructions- necessary to
muster into service the Guardsmen of
all states near the border, and that
ordnance and quartermaster stores to
outfit all such troops on a fuir war
basis are held at convenient points for
Quick distribution.
Mr. Baker refused to discuss reports
that General Kunston had urged that
a total of 150.000 men be given him to
maintain the border guard. It is pos
sible that the border commander men
tioned that figure as the number of
men he thought necessary to insure pro
tection of all border towns and ranches
by providing an adequate guard for
each. The Secretary said General Per
shing's force in Mexico was able to
take care of itself in any emergency.
Nearly BO.OOO In Service.
Including the troops ordered out to
day, there will be nearly 45.000 soldiers,
perhaps BO.OOO. along the border or in
Mexico, according to the best available
X igureB here. The War Department has
declined to publish actual numbers, but
with the entire mobile Army except
five troops of cavalry under General
Funston's command, in addition to the
4000 or more guardsmen and the several
thousand recruits who are being for
warded to the regular regiments as fast
as they are mustered in, the United
States has a considerable Army strung
out along the 1S00 miles of the interna
tional line.
Ca!!tng out the National Guard for
the first time under the present mili
tary law brings up the fact that, as
written, the act authorizes the Presi
dent to use the state soldiers either
within or without United states ter
ritory. The provision authorizing the
use of the guardsmen as such beyond
the border was held to be unconstitu
tional by ex-Attorney-General Wicker
sham. It . never has been passed on by
the Supreme Court, however, and Pres
ident Wilson has full legal authority
to employ the state forces beyond the
border if he so desires. Only an in
Junction against the War Departmen
could prevent it.
Federal Status Obligatory.
By the terms of the law the guards
men must be mustered into the service
; of the United States before they come
under complete control of the Federal
Government. Their oath of enlistment
to the various states makes the ac
ceptance of the Federal status oblig
atory, however, and there is no ques
tion of volunteering involved in the

CAMPAIGN BY LETTER ONLY
District Attorney in Coos Too Busy

MARSHFIELD. Or.. May 9. (Spe

vist, who seeks the Republican re-
nomination in Coos County, has been
too busy to make a canvass. He was
obliged to resort to a circular letter
to the voters.
The letter makes the surprising
statement that within the past eight
years there have been nearly as many
prosecutions as for the
54
years pre
ceding his incumbency.
Mr. Liljeqvist's inability to make an

Belief That .Man Nominated Will Be

CHICAGO, May 9. (Special.) From
the pile of mail that was stacked high
all over his office today, Fred W.
Upham, chairman of the Chicago corrt
mittee that brought the Republican
National Convention to this city, ex
tracted a letter. The letter made an
offer of J10.000 for 100 seats for the
convention that will assemble in Chi
cago June 7 to name the candidate of
the Republican party for President.
"The demand for tickets of admis
sion to the convention is enormous.
said Mr. Upham, surveying the piles
upon piles of letters awaiting his re
turn to Chicago. "We are getting at
least a bushel of mail a day, and al
most every letter asks for seats.
Demand Exceed All Record.
I've been connected with the Chi
cago committee that has handled four
National Republican conventions, and
I never saw anything like the demand
for tickets that there is for this year.
It is four times as great as ever be
fore." Mr. Upham returned today from a
short vacation spent in French Lick to
fit himself for the strenuous work of
(the next few weeks. He took oft his
coat, rolled up his sleeves and went to
work early.
Predictions have been made that the
big Republican convention will bring
SO. 000 visitors to Chicago for the con
vention week, and from the looks of
the mall in Mr. Upham's office today it
would seem that the number might well
be twice 60,000.
Optimistic Feeling Prevails.
'The feeling seems to prevail." said
Mr. Upham. "that the man named at
the convention for the Presidency will
be t,he next President of the United
States, and this, I think, accounts in
some measure for the big demand for
tickets. Then, too, the situation is un
certain more uncertain than ever be
fore so short a time before a conven
tion. No one seems to know who will
be named, and this has added to the
interest of the gathering.
"As far as the Chicago committee is
concerned, the ticket situation is this

WOMEN WORKERS' PLEA WINS
Mrs. Gee Admits Employes Are
Unit Against Innovation.
CHAMBER OPPOSES CHANGE
Members of Board Declare Consid
erable Misapprehension KxNts,
but Assert Analysis Will
Show Action Conservative.
Woolen mills operating In Oregon
will be exempted from the provisions
of the nine-hour rule which the revi
sion'conference of the Industrial Wel
fare Commission proposes to apply
generally to manufacturing industries
of the state.
A decision to this effect was reached
at a meeting of the conference yester
day following appeals from both the
employers and employes in the woolen
from a committee representing the
Portland Chamber of Commerce that
no "burdensome restrictions" be Im
posed upon manufacturers.
Mnr-iloar Day Proposed.
The conference previously had
adopted a recommendation for a nine
hour day for women workers In all
occupations. The present regulations
allow women to work not to exceed ten
hours a day. with a maximum of 64
hours a week. Under the present ruling
women in the woolen mills work ten
hours for five days a week snd four
hours on Saturdays. They hive their
Ssturday afternoons free.
It was pointed out that the proposed
regulation would force these women to
work nine hours a day for six days.
thus depriving them of the freedom of
their Saturday afternoons.
Manager Speaks for Workers.
This situation previously had been
Impressed upon the conference by Mrs.
L. Gee. one of its members, but wss
presented In a forceful manner at the
opening of yesterdsy's session by E. L.
I Thompson, manager of the Portland
we work nine hours for six days or ten
I hours for five days and four hours on
I "But I have been repeatedly urged
by the women working for us to ak
this body not to disturb the present
rules which permit them the freedom
of their Saturday afternoons."
anltatloa Declared Good
Mr. Thompson explained that tha
sanitary conditions surrounding tha
Portland Woolen Mill, as well as the
other woolen mills of the state, were
wholesome, and that 10 hours work a
day does not entail a hardship upon
the women employed there,
Why not work nine hours for five
days and four hours on Saturdays?
asked Thomas Roberts, a member of
the Commission. "Then the women still
would have their Saturday afternoona
off."
"Because they work by the piece and
would be deprived of that much earn
ing: .power," answered Mr. Thompson.
. Workers Oppose Carls
Mrs. Gee. who hag steadfastly ad
hered to the principle of an eistat-hour
day for women, declared that the con
tention made by Mr. Thompson is cor
rect; that she recently visited the fac
tory and that the employes there al
most unanimously appealed for a pres
ervation of the present regulation.
"I want you to understand." insisted
Mrs. Jee, "that I am opposed to a sec
ond more than 48 hours a week, "but
since this conference is determined to
permit 54 hours. I say that it Is better
to allow the women to work 10 hours
for five days if they can have a half
holiday ou the sixth day."
Cleaa Bill eC Health Sbsivi.
In support of his explanation that the
sanitary conditions of his mill are sat
isfactory. Mr. Thompson presented a
letter from officials of the State Board
of Health further testifying to this
fact.
Dr. A. K. Pierce, a member of the
State Board, who recently visited the
plant, corroborated this statement. He
said that the women are healthy, happy
and contented under present conditions.
I and expressed the
belief that their
mental repose would be disturbed were
they deprived of their Saturday half
holiday. "The principal factor contributing- to
the health and we II-being of women
workers, said Dr. Pierce. "Is content
ment. "Tou can't expect a woman to
have good health if she is unhappy or
discontented."
Mrs. Gee Mot Cob v I need.
"Do you mean to say, asked Mrs.
Gee of Dr. Pierce, "that a woman can
work day in and day out for years at
10 hours a day and not suffer?"
"1 say that the women at the Tort
land Woolen Mill can work 10 hours for
five days and four hours on the aixth
day without suffering." answered the
doctor.
"But I am talking about women
