NEW YORK, July 2L~Radical
changes in the laws governing foreign~
era doing business in Mexico are!
about to be made by General (‘arg
ranza in a series/of decrees whichj
later will be included in a new ton-l
slitution. according to recent zlrfivals,
from Mexico City. I
The new regulations, it is said, willl
provide that all foreign investors be-l
fore entering business in Mexico must
agree not to have recourse in any case
to any other law than that of Mexico,
and that they will not be entitled to
any privileges not enjoyed tby Moxi-
cans. it also will,prov,id3. that for.
eign capital already forested in .\iex~
ico may enjoy the sight to be consid-
ered foreign and be entitled to the
protection of its own government un’
til the expiration of the concession
or agreement that it may have ten-
tered info. provided it is not for a
very long period.
Another provision is designed to
fix a uniform period for all the long
or unlimited contracts. leases or con-
cessions in which foreign capital is
interested, and that at the end of this
period they will be considered subject
only to the authority of the Mexican,
Government and deprived of the right
of appeal 'for protection to the respec-
tive governments.

NEW YORK. July 24.-What is
probably the most elaborate study of
wages ever made in any industry has
just been completed by the National
Conference Committee of the railways,
For six months railway accountants
throughout the country have been en-
gaged in collecting the payroll records
to show the actual wage payments to
erery individual employe among the
300,000 engineers, conductors. firemen
and brakemen now voting on a na-

That these employee are one of the

the pressure of public sentiment
which has been amused over the
bomb explosion that marked Satur-

authorities today are working with de-
termination to apprehend the perpe-
lraior of the deed. To the death list

probably more of the 44 injured will
be added, five of the victims being re-

ti.ed by Mayor Rolph. who has of-
fered a reward of $3,000 for the arrest
of the persons, and who is taking an
active part in the search, scores of
citizens have volunteered their ser-

A mass meeting t6 express an

called today .for July 26 by Mick

of Commerce and chairman of the
committee on law and order which was
appointed recently to deal with the

As a result of conferences between
Mayor Rolph and Governor Hiram A.
Johnson. it is regarded as likely that
that state will supplement the city's
action with the offer of a large reward
for the assassin.
A reward of $1.000 has been offered
by the brother of one of the victims.
Expert's retained by the police have
arrived at the conclusion, it is said,
that the bomb had as its principabinv
gredient nitrotoluol. This substance.
