LABOR LEADERS
 ADDRESS CROWDS

Rochester, N. r., November 1T.--Ameri- can Federation of Labor leaders were heard today in two big general meetings. President Samuel Gompers. Congressman William Wilson of Pennsylvinia. Miss Maud Younger of San Francisco and Miss Joseph Casey of Chicago were the speak CTS at Convention hall and Robert Smillie, delegate from Scotland: Frank Hayes of Indianapolis and Fred o. Wheeler of Los Angeles spoke at a meeting in the- atre under the auspices of the socialist wing of the federation.
 Referring to his arrest with John Mitch ec and Frank Morrison at Washington, Mir. Gompers said
 T deny to any judge or any set of judges the right to gag my mouth. If a judge by injunction can stife the mind and prevent free expression, then the very essence of our liberty has been stolen. Free speech and free press have ever been re- garded as inherent and natural rights. If daring to express the conviction in my heart involves a term of Imprisonment the sooner we know 1t the better" AZ of the speakers pleaded for non- union workers to get inside the federa- tion. The convention session will be re- sumed tomorrow.

.FEDERALS DESTROY MANY VILLAGES IN
 SOUTHERN MEXICO
Government Uses Different Tactics to Suppress the Revolution in Noun
 tains of Oaxaca

Mexico City, Mex. November 1T.-That the Mexican government is determined to carry out the threat recently made to re- sume the tactics employed so successfully by General Robles in the state of Morelos some months ago. is indicated by the re- port of the war department announcing the total destruction of several small towns and villages in the northern noun tains of Oaxaca, where the revolution has been rampant
 Another evidence of the government $ intention to use all energy in restoring peace in the south is the announcement by a high official that 5000 soldiers now operating in the north, chiefly in Chihua- against the rebels in the states of Mex leo. Puebla Guerrero and Oaxaca. The government is convinced that the situa- tion in the north is now so nearly in hand that smaller forces will be able to restore the conditions. 1xetepiji and xia, two of the places destroyed, were the strongholds of the Serrano Indians, who have not been subjected by the cam paign waged in the vicinity of the state capital after an attempt had been made to capture the city. Convinced that the inhabitants of these towns were com pletely in accord with the rebels, orders were issued for their destruction. With out even calling upon the inhabitants to withdraw the artillery began its work, ceasing only when the town had been reduced to a mass of ruins.
 The Indians are active in other direc- tions. Official reports say conditions in the states of Morelos and Mexico have improved, but 1t is known that the rebels hold important hills near Cuernavaca and largely control the rural districts and many of the minor towns in the state of Mexico. The situation in the state of Guerrero has become worse owing to the leadership of Juan Andrew Almazan, who is said to have considerable following and controls much territory along the Pa cific coast
 General Aguilar, who is supposed to be directing a large part of the rebel forces, is operating in the southern part of the state of Pueba. Encounters are reported daily, but in all of them the government has been victorious with slight losses. At H1aarefeheuia the frde1 slse yssSs5dged tlsa rebels from strong position eight rebels being killed and one federal. Numerous haciendas and small towns have been sacked and the crops destroyed.

Governors Asked to Co- Operate in Movement by
 Secretary Oliver
ARRANGE DETAILS
 IN TIME OF PEACE
Alabama Placed in Tenth Division, With Headquarters in Nashville. Scheme Would Help Sudden
 Mobilization of Troops

Washington, November 17.--One of the most important moves in recent years to prepare the national militia letters addressed by Acting Secretary Oliver to the governors of all the states and territories. inviting their cooper ation in the war college plans for the organization of the militia into 1e tactical divisions.
 The letters point out that if the militia is to be used as field force effectively in war time it can only be done by this system of divisions and that to insure the proper working of the plan, all of the details should be worked out in tlme Of peace.
 No Place for Separate Companies
 In the outline of the 12 divisions no place is given to separate companies of infantry. which 1t Is said. should large organizations. Field armies would be formed by the grouping of two or more divisions of the militia Tor by combining one or two divisions of militia with one of regular troops. Regular organizations would form the fourth brigade of any division as- signed to a field army. for the reason that the organized militia Is localized while the regular army must go any where upon call some money will be available for the assistance of the state authorities. The war department also proposes de- tail inspector- instructors to assist state officials and war material for the militia will be distributed and stored l in suitable depots to be at hand local | ly when mobilization Is ordered. .s Headaparters of Sections
 GsnnraJ Oliver pians to have t1e first four of tho 1e tactical divisions composed entirely of regular troops with the District of Columbia militia assigned to duty as regulars. The remaining divisions would be composed of the following state militia organizations:
 Fifth Headquarters. Boston; Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island and Conneoti- |cut.
 sixth; Headquarters. Albany New York
 seventh Hearauarters. Harrisburg. Penn.
 Eighth; Headquarters, Washington; New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, vir- ginia, West Virginia.
 Ninth: Headquarters, Atlanta; North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor Ida
 Tenth: Headquarters, Nashville Ten nessee. Kentucky Ala bama and Mis- sissippi.
 Eleventh; Headquarters Columbus O; ohio and Michigan.
 Twelfth: Headquarters. Chicago; 1lli- nois and Indiana
 Thirteenth: Headquarters. St, Paul; Iowa. Wisconsin. North Dakota, South Dekota.
 Fourteenth: Headquarters Kansas City; Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Col orado.
 Fifteenth: Headquarters, San Anto- nio; New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana.
 Sixteenth Headquarters, San Fran cisco; California, oregon, Washington, Idaho Montana, Gtah, Nevada and Arizona,
 Under this comprehensive scheme every militia organization in the United States is definitely placed in just tho station 1t would occupy in event of a sudden mobilization of the army for war purposes.
