of the Jenkins case raised in the
Mexican note declining to accede to
the request for the release of tl

In the Wallace murder case the

details of a course of action.

A note to Carranza which some offi

being; drafted in the state depart'
ment today and so far as could be
learned it had not been forwarded
to Mexico City tonight. The depart

with the embassy in Mexico City.
Senators and representatives gath
ering for the reconvening- of congress
were showing active interest in the
course of the situation and there were
some indications that it might be
discussed in both chambers Monday.
Reports direct from Mexico City
discrediting yesterday's bordnr rumors
of an uprising with fighting in the
streets served to simplify the situa
tion, in that they removed one com
plicating factor and left the issue
a clean-cut one involving only the
continued murder and molestation of
Americans.
There was no outward indication
f whether President Wilson would
touch on the subject in his message
to congress.

WALLACE MAY BK LINN MAN
I ntiier at Lebanon Doubts Thai
Son Was Murdered.
LEBANON, Or., Nov. 29 (Special.)
William Wallace, who is reported
to have been murdered by Mexicans
near Tampico, Mexico, yesterday, is
thoug-ht to be William H. Wallace", son
of S. O. Wallace of this city. He was
reared near Lebanon and when a
young man, about 25 yearsago, went
to Arizona and later to Mexico, where
he had heavy mining- and smelter in
terests at Cananea. The bandits had
been so thick in that part of Mexico
the last few years that he was driven
out and When he last wrote to his i
father he was at El Paso, Tex. This
was last May and he said he expected
to go south soon. He has not been
heard from since and his parents here
said today they did not know where
he has been for the last few month.
Mr. Wallace was 49 years of acre
and unmarried. His father Is in
clined to believe that the man mur
dered la not his son, for the reason
that bla eon had been largely engaged
in mining and the smelter business
and. so far as he knows, had not been
connected with any oil interests in the
south.
31 AST V ACTION IS OPPOSED
propaganda in his behalf, then I beg
respectfully, but definitely, to inform
your committee that so far as I am
concerned the case is closed.
I cannot think.the members of your
committee have other than a proper I
regard for law and order and for the1
orderly processes of the law. But in
my Judgment a grave injury in being;
done labor everywhere when it is
made to appear by those who occupy
places of leadership that organized
labor champions such a heartless and
vicious murderer as Thomas J.
Mooney.
"Of Mooney's guilt there is, in my
mind, no question. I am convinced
that he had a part in One of the most
at rocious crimes involving treason
able purpose ever perpetrated in the
history of our country. Ten persons
were killed and 60 maimed by Mooney
and his associates who evidently were
in sympathy with Germany's agents,
who were resorting to every desper
ate measure to thwart preparedness
of the American nation for war.
"Martyrdom" Held Aba or A.
In the campaign of misstatement
and deception conducted in the effort
to free Mooney, he has been pictured
as a martyr to the cause of labor.
This is ridiculous and absurd.
It is true that Mooney held mem
bership In a local union in San Fran
cisco and had attempted to organize
the street carmen of that city in a
strike, but he was never identified
with the labor movement as a fac
tor of influence or leadership. His
part was that of an anarchistic and
an I. W. W. agitator of the worst
type.
"The men and women who con
stitute the sound and worthy citizen
ship of labor's ranks do not regard
Mooney in the liht of a martyr, but
as a menace to its cause.
"I greatly regret that unworthy
agitators have succeeded in making
it appear so 'widely that organized
labor holds pronounced sympathies for
such men as Mooney and the Mc
Xamaras. Impression s given thereby
that union labor does not stand for
law and order; that it espouses I. W.
W.-ism, anarchism and bomb-setting;
tiiat it fosters bitter 'class hatred,
sedition and treason, and approves of
wholesale, revolting murder of men.
women and children in 'furtherance
Of labor's aims. Such an impression
is wholly false as regards the great
body of workingmen and women in
this state. But it is a grievous thing
that the belief should be so widely
encouraged by certain labor leaders.
Organised Labor AdvUed.
"Organized labor should purge itself
of Mooneyism, for Mooneyism can but
discredit and break down a movement
that has so many worthy accomplish
ments to its credit.
4It is my duty and my purpose to
continue to stand for law and order,
and against the dishonest and vicious
propaganda, no matter how clever
and powerful, that is being conducted
in the Interest of this arch-murderer.
"So long as I am governor of Cali
fornia no 'drive and no I. W. W.
propaganda will avail to enable
Mooney to escape the just deserts of
the law for the fiendish slaying of
men and women gathered together in
a patriotic demonstration.
'Because it was my wartime duty
and for other reasons, which 1 gave
at the time. I communted Mooney's
sentence from death to life imprison
ment. Further clemency is not war
ranted by anything within my knowl
edge.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. develop

insure an adequate fuel supply for
the counry awaited tonight the out
come of attempts of soft coal opera
tors to induce miners to return to
work for a -wage advance of 14 per
cent and assurances of federal pro
tection.
Notices of this wage advance eua
gested by Fuel Administrator Gar
field were posted at the mines. Re
sumption of work that it might pro
duce was not expected until next
week, at the beginning of the sec
ond month of the strike, technically
called off November 11.
Operators here expected Monday to
see many of the miners. In districts
not In the central competitive terri
tory back at work.
It was indicated no further steps
by national authorities were content
plated while state and local officials
handtled the situation satisfactorily.
InioM to Be PreMrvtd.
Assurance that the governmen
would not tolerate any attempt to de
stroy trade unions or the principle o
collective bargaining on the part
the employing interess wishing to
"take advantage of the present situ
ation, was given today by Dr. Gar
field.
"Report has eome to me that the
present crisis In the coal industry will
be used to break down the labor
unions," rr. Garfield Said. "I wish to
say that I am as much opposed to
an attempt to destroy the principles
of collective bargaining and the
union of workingmen as 1 am to th
effort of labor leaders to keep labor
satisfied by a constant boosting
wages, regardless of the public in
terest. or to the efforts of leaders
the Industrial world to boost profits
unduly to the hurt of the public.
"Any attempt to complicate th
Issue at this time by seeking to de
stroy the union of the mine workers
or the principles of collective bar
gaining will be resented by the publlo
and opposed by me.
' Production Being Westered.
Official statistics showed produc
tion to be approaching 50 per cen
of normal at the end of the firs
month of the strike, as compared with
29 per cent during the first week an
33 per cent the second week. Th
weekly report of the United States
geological survey today showed that
44 8-10 per cent of normal was pro
duced during the third week.
Dr. Garfield also issued today an
analysis of the figurs on which be
based his conclusion for a 14 per cent
wage advance. Explaining wherein
he differed from Secretary Wilson, he
called attention to "the fact that the
principle involved is of far greater
importance than the figures ar
rived at."
"The Drincinle applied in arriving
at 14 per cent is different in kind and
character from that applied In arriv
Ing at 31.61 per cent and hence, any
attempt to average the two or to com
promise the results is impossible," Dr.
Garfield said:
A wage increase of 31.61 per cent,
as suggested by Secretary "Wilson
would give a total advance since 19lS
of 107.4 per cent, as compared with a
maximum advance of 79 per cent In
living costs, he added.
Dr. Garfield pointed out that statis
tics of the national Industrial confer
ence board showed only a 73 per cent
increase in the cost of living and that
on this basis the miners would be en
titled to only 9 8-10 per cent wage
advance.
On an annual output Of 600.000,000
tons. Dr. Garfield Bald, the additional
waee bill would approximate $238,
000.000, with a 31.61 per cent advance,
$107,000,000 with a 34.1 per cent in
crease, and $74,000,000 With a 8-10
per cent advance.
The average earnings of all mine
workers in 1918 was $1550. 68, or $6.18
a day worked, Dr. Garfield said. This
conclusion was based on inf ormatior
taken directly from the monthly cost
sheets on which the operators re
ported to the federal trade commie
sion.
