Next week, the sixth of the trial of the $1,000,000 libel suit of Henry Ford against the Chicago Daily Tribune! will, present a new phase of the defense to the jury in Judge Tucker's court. This week's testi mony for the Tribune presented a picture of ceaseless turmoil along the Mexican border and in Mexico itself, of bandit raids into villages .and isolated ranches, murder and 'pillage; millions of invested capital rendered unproductive; cattle rust ling and the defensive measures of rangers, deputy sheriff and sol diers. .!'.' i ' .- , Border witnesses were introduced to, show that anarchy reigned for years along ,the border and that the only protection which could be in voked was that of American troops. In opposing the use of these troops, the Tribune contends, Mr. Ford justly earned the designation .of "anarchist" , . ; . . It was charged at the beginning of the trial that the Tribune's ad vocacy of .'intervention in Mexico ' was based on two motives, a design to aid remote relatives with private interest south of the Rio, Grande, and a pro-Germanism which sought to keep the United States out of . the European war by embroiling it with Mexico.

STRIKERS SUBMIT PROPOSAL TO POSTAL Company Refuses lo Enter Into Negotiations With the Union; Walkouts Spread ing, Leaders Declare. New York, June 13. The Postal Telegraph company has entered into ho negotiations whatever with its striking operators, and has received no communication from them at any time, except through the pub lie press, it was stated here bv Ed ward Reynolds, general manager of the Postal system. Mr. Reynolds added that thecompany looked on the strike as virtually at an end. . Mr. Reynolds said the company had virtually a normal force of op erators, and that reports from other cities , showed many men coming back to work. The report that of ficials of the Commercial Telegra phers' Union of America had sub mitted to the Postal'Telegraph com pany conditions ' upon which an agreement could be based was at tributed by Mr. Reynolds to , the fact that ."Postal operators in the union are bringing pressure to bear on the union leaders to call off the strike." "No principle is involved in this strike," he continued, "and the men are becoming restless. "We are in formed that they are coming back, even at strike strongholds like Birmingham, Ala., and we received report that the local at Detroit hadvoted to call the strike off. "While we have' had no negotia tions with the men-and are not urg ing them to come back, we are will ing to take them back without prej udice and without considering their continuity of service interrupted, if they return within a reasonable time." Conspiracy Charged. The following was received from patron of the. Postal Telegraph Cable company at Denver, Colo., by Clarence. H. Mackay, "president of the Postal Telegraph Cable com pany; "Are you aware that the consen sus of opinion among business men is that the strike now affecting your lines and not those of the Western Union to any extent, is a frame up? It was expected, a few Western Union men would go out to cover up the deal. That your company is the victim of a conspiracy is ab solutely an undeniable fact. Time will vindicate this statement. v A strike deal was jut .through solely to cripple th.e Postal business, but what a pity that even a few Postal employes lent their aid to your ene mies, thus becoming a dupe to those that would do up both you and them."' . -) Strikers Submit Terms. Chicago, June 13. A committee representing the striking telegraph ers submitted to the Postal com pany Friday conditions upon which a settlement could be reached.
