Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 December 1901 — They Must Speak Spanish. [ARTICLE]

They Must Speak Spanish.

Many American railroad men are interested in the new federal law in Mexico, requiring all representatives and employes of railroads in Mexico to be able to speak Spanish. American roads have a number of representatives in the Southern republic and many of them have a decidedly limited knowledge of the Spanish language. Some hard studying la scheduled to take place now and American railway men will soon make a strong “bluff” at the language south of the Bio Grande.
