Mexican trade leaders arriving in San Antonio urged American chambers to press railroads to loan locomotives to ease border congestion caused by a recent railway workers strike. Fernando Leal Novelo led eleven dignitaries touring U S cities since March 2 to promote trade ties with Mexico. He cited 3060 cars idle at Laredo and asked Dallas, San Antonio, and other border chambers to apply pressure on railroad officials to supply motive power. The group met local officials at Gunter hotel and planned a Mexican dinner before departing for Laredo and Mexico City.
