El' Paso, Tex., Aug;. ' 14 Report!
of social discontent in Mexico ire
contained in a copy of El Nacional, a
Carranza organ of Mexico City, which
reached here today. It stated that
last week General Benjamin Hilt

patrols to disperse gatherings of
striking employes of the electric light
ing and street railway company. It
added that several shots had been
fired and that small riots had, re
sulted. '
According to the paper, Carrania
met representatives of the Federation
of Syndicates, the organization behind
- the strike, and informed them that in
I his opinion their action in striking
was unpatriotic. Social discontent in
Mexico was attributed to "socialist
labor agitators." Arrivals in El Paso
from the capital today, however, said
that the foodiscarctty and lack of op
portunity for work are important
factors. ' . '''-
