MEXICO CITY. Dec. 20.—Decreasing the wage of Mexican railway employees as part of the plan to rehabilitate the Mexican national railways will not be tolerated by the Mexican railway workers, delegates from their unions declared in a convention here yesterday.
The suggestions for reforming the railways are the work of Sir Henry Thronton, president of the Canadian national railways, who was recently reported to be arranging for the sale of the Mexican lines to a combination of Canadian railway capitalists.
The slash in the railway workers' wages is understood to be a part of the plan to groom the railroads preparatory to the Canadian sale.
