Jefatura Políca de inde.
I have the honor to make known to the public and to those who may be
interested, the following:
General Headquarters of General Tomas
Urbina Reyes,
Auza, San Luis Potosí, April 14,
1915.
These General Headquarters, at my command, make known:
That the emission of bills or tickets (bonos or boletas) by
foreign residents in that place is strictly prohibited, and
require of you that the employees of said foreign residents
be paid in Mexican silver coin (plata sellada mexicana) or
American gold, it being understood that disobedience to
these orders will be severely punished.
I communicate this to you in order that you may communicate
it to those interested, advising them that they should
protect their employees to the extent that they be not
discharged without at least a month’s notice, with the
understanding that if this order be not complied with, their
interests will be prejudiced.
General Tomás Urbina R.
The above I transcribe and make known to the public and those
interested.
Major Patricio Hernandez,
Municipal President.
