The Consul at Tampico ( Dawson) to the Secretary of State
Oil companies are again complaining of threatening attitude Government troops in southern oil fields. Outrage on American workers already charged to them and as result workers of four companies have almost decided to abandon fields. Commanding General Acosta is now in Tampico and promises guarantees, but promises do not inspire confidence. It is generally believed here that border situation is gradually reaching crisis and this new trouble is related to that agitation. Please advise if border trouble is becoming serious. Embassy advised.
