Labor strife pressures dress goods and fall goods production.
A fragment from a historical dispatch notes Latin American powers backing Carranza and warning of possible US intervention in northern Mexico. It warns Mexico’s de facto government must heed regional sentiment, while Frontline leadership in Washington weighs action to align with Pan American support.
