Gen. Pershing to Cross Border Within
Forty Days After Signing Pro
tocolBoth Sides Will
Patrol Line.
Atlantic City, N. .1., Nov. 27. An
agreement wns reached between the
Aincrlcnii mill Mexican delegates to
tlio Joint conference hero. It pro
vides :
1. For the withdrawal from Mexico
of the Pershing expedition within -10
days of the approval hy hoth govern
merits of the agreement. The provi
sion Is made that the tlmo may he ex
tended If conditions In northern Mex
ico nre such as to constitute n menace
to United States soli. The details of
the withdrawal nre left to (Jcnenil
Pershing.
2. That United States troops there
Jitter shall patrol their side of the
border and Mexican troops theirs, In
order to guard against raids. Co-op-cratlon
between both forces In case
of necessity Is provided.
The following statement was given
out by the eommlslon:
"The commission has come to an
ngrectnent as to withdrawal of Amer
ican troops In Mexico mid border con
trol, which Is to go by Mr. Paul to
Mexico. If It Is acceptable the con
ference will be resumed within two
weeks. The troops are to bo with
drawn by General 'Pershing within 40
days of the approval of the agreement
but In such mnnncQ as will permit the
Mexican troops to occupy the evncu
ted territory, which the Mexicans
have ngrecd to do. Should the north
ern section of Chlhunhua be In a stntc
,tf turmoil such as to threaten our
border, the American troops may alone,
or In conjunction with the Mexican
troops, disperse the marauders, and
tho time for withdrawal shall be ex
tended by the tlmo necessary for such
work.
"The Mexican commander Is to have
control of the plan by which occupa
tion of northern Chlhuahuu Is effect
ed, and General Pershing Is to have
control of the plan of withdrawal ami
the right to use the railroad to Juarez
If he so desires.
The committee found It Impracti
cable to arrange n plan of Joint bor
der control through a common mili
tary force, and abandoned the Idea of
border zone, which has been so much
discussed. It Is, however, left to the
commanders of both nations on the
border to enter Into such arrange
metns for co-operation against ma
rauders whenever it Is practicable.
"The agreement distinctly states
that each side Is to care for Its own
bide of the border, but that this shall
not preclude co-operation between the
two forces to preserve pcuce upon the
border.
"The American commissioners told
their Mexican colleagues that as a
matter of national necessity the. policy
of this government must be to reserve
the right to pursue marauders coming
from Mexico Into the United States as
long as conditions In northern Mexico
are in their present abnormal state.
Such pursuit Is not, however, to bo
regarded by Mexico as In any way
hoitllo to tho Curranza government,
for the maruudcrs aro our common en
emies. "The correspondence between the
two state departments under which
the commission wns created requires
the latter to deal not only with with
drawal of troops but also with all oth
er questions affecting the two coun
tries, chief of which may be said to
be the protection of the lives and prop
erty of all foreigners In Mexico."
The agreement was reached after
13 weeks of deliberations. The ques
tion of a loan wns not brought up.
The ugrecment Is contingent upon
tho approval of Gen. Venustlano Curranza.

Gompers Would Defy Roads and Warns
Capital That Labor Will "Show
Claws."
Ilaltlmore, Aid., Nov. '-'.'I. Organized
labor threw Its millions of workers
Into the hi'iilo iignliiM the railroad'
millions of dollars here on Tuesday In
one of the most tumultuous days In la
bor's history.
Five hundred delegates to the
American Federation of Labor conven
tion yelled their approval when Sam
uel Gompers declared the railroad
employees should strike .lanuary I If
congratulations upon your re-election. (ju, Adnnison law was not put Into ef
feet hy the railroads.
"Accepting the challenge," as he
termed It, the federation pledged the
"undivided and umnmllilcd support of
every , man and woman, In the federa
tion, whatever may arise, whatever
may hetlde," to the four great railroad
brotherhoods in the, approaching crisis.
It also threw Its entire force behind
the movement for a universal eight
hour day. Mr. Gompers declared that
the elght-bllllon-dollar combination of
employers formed In New York to light
labor "should be shown that some
times the working people had teeth
and claws."
"I am about anarchist enough to
say that we nre going to work for tho
eight-hour day for all classes. If we
can't get It peaceably we will tight
for It."

P. M. Coffey, chief deputy labor
commissioner of Nebraska, In an ad
dress to tho Nebraska Manufacturers'
association at Omuhn, advised tho
necessity of amending tho employers'
liability luw for the purpose of bring
ing uhout prompt and adequate set
tlement of claims. Now, ho Bald, set
tlement drags Into long negotiations.
Ho proposed a commission, or single
paid commissioner, preferably a law
yer, familiar with the law, to adminis
ter Its provisions. He said such a
provision will be of as much benefit
to the employer as to the employe. Ho
said he hud had to return papers to
one Insurance company In sixty dif
ferent cases, whore effort had been
mude to trim down payment for a
shorter length of tlmo than that al
lowed by law.
Ho said that In ten months of this
year 4,000 cubcs have been settled un
der tho compensation law. The total
benellts paid huve been $110,779, an
average of $24.0.1.
Hearing on Demurrage Matter Indefi
nltely Postponed.
After considerable testimony hud
been Introduced boforo tho state rail
way commission last week the hear
ing of tho application of carriers for
an increase In demurrage charges on
Intrastate traiile in Nebraska was con
tinued Indefinitely. The carriers were
asked for much testimony which they
did not have and which cannot bo col
lected for some time, so the hearing
was postponed.
It is alleged that tho carriers ad
mit privately that they probably
Bhould not havo filed their applica
tion relative to Intrastate trafllc when
tho same question is pending before
tho Interstate commerce commission.
Tho roadB filed tariffs and a request
for increased demurrage with tho In
torstato commerce commission. The
fed oral commission suspended tho re
quest and the tariffs and will hold a
hcurlng at a later date. Usually about
ten months' tlmo is required to dis
pose of such a case before tho Inter
state body. When tho Interstate com
merce commission suspends tariffs in
such cases the burden of proof is then
upon the carrlorB to provo their cuae.
Without a ruling on the question from
the federal body the carriers filed a
similar application with the Nebraska
state commission.

Arthur. County Loses Cut.
Nebraska's "baby county," Arthur,
which was set aside and organized by
the leglsluturo of 1913, has lost Its suit
aguinst Garden county involving iho
government of nnd taxing authority
over a strip of land twenty-llvo miles
long and three miles In width, which
has been In dispute between Arthur
and (iuiden counties.
In an opinion rendered by the state
supreme court, it is held that Garden
county has obtained completo. Juris
diction over the territory in contro
versy through having exercised such
Jurisdiction for more than ten years
without any attempt being made by
anyone, to prevent It. Garden county
has levied and collected taxes, organ
ized voting precincts, conducted elec
tions, fotmed school districts and per
formed other functions of government
within the disputed area.
The legislature of 1895 undertook to
make Arthur county an Independent
division and passed an act fixing its
boundaries. However, tho act wub re
garded as unconstitutional and Arthur
county was not organized at that time
but continued to bo a part of McPher
son county until 1913. In the mean
time, the eta to recognized a certain
range line as the west boundary of
what was then McPherson county and
is now Arthur county. This lino is
the one which Garden county claimed
in tho suit is the correct boundary.
Arthur county's contention was that
the boundary line wbb located three
biles farther west.
The supreme court opinion, written
by Judge Barnes, affirms the holding
of the district court of Garden county,
In favor of that county. The decision
will practically settle similar litiga
tion pending between Grant and Gar
den counties.

Discussed Car Shortage.
"If the railroads of this state could
get all the cars they need for trans
portation of grain from Nebraska
towns they would flood the Omaha
market," said Railway Commissioner
Taylor, who immediately followed It
with another statement to tho effect
that no such flood need be looked for,
as there is no danger of any railroad
In the state having enough cars to
handle its traffic for some time to
come.
Mr. Taylor has returned from the
east, where railway commissioners of
thirty states and the interstate com
merce commissioners sat for days
upon tho ultra serious problem of the
continental car shortage.
Two plans for relief nre suggested.
Ono Is to affix an emergency demur
rage chargo of considerable propor
tions and the other 1b to Increase tho
dally rental cost of cars during tho
period of stringency. Both measures,
It is believed, would hasten tho un
loading of cars and would compel rail
roads to turn back other companies'
cars to them Just as soon as shipments
reached their destinations.
Problem of New State House.
The question that is bothering legis
lators who propose to give it serious
consideration this winter is the prob
lem of a new state house for Ne
braska.
Most of those who have expressed
themselves so far in the matter say
they ore for a new building. Tho
only problem, therefore, is settlement
upon a plan for rulblng the money.
Two suggested plans aro apt to be
tho only ones considered by tho law
makers. One is to provide by law for
the sale of some of the $10,000,000 of
state bonds and the immediate conver
sion of tho proceods into a state capl
tol fund. i
The other is to ttfllx a levy upon the
taxpayers of the state and to raise the
money gradually for tho now edifice,
probably Btarting tho work after the
first two years' fund has been gathered.
