DEFENDS POSITION
ON LABOR QUESTION

Washington, Sept. %. The
house Lobby committee last Fri
day heard former Representa-
tive Charles E. Littlefeld of
Maine, former lobbyist for the
National Association of Man
ufacturers, testified was one
of the chief allies of that organi-
cation in the house.
Mr.. Littlefield testified that,
beginning with his entrance to
congress in 1899 until he re-
signed in 1908. he found IAN
active. energetic and powerful
labor lobby headed by Samuel
Gompers." When Gompers op-
posed legislation, Mr.. Littefield
said. many members of the
house found it convenient to
side with labor. Mr.. Littlefield
said he did not intend to eriti-
else members of the house fcr
their position on labor bills.
But, he explained, when
Gompers and the labor people
became active the tall timbers
were thickly populated and there
was plenty of space in the
open.'
Mr.. LittlefeId frankly told the
committee that his views on
labor legislation conceded with
those of the manufacturers and
that early in his congressional
career he gladly accepted the
aid of the National Association
of Manufacturers through Mar
shall Cushing, then its Washing
ton representative.

SONORA PEOPLE
HAVE RIGHT SPIRIT.

All but one point in Sonora is In
the hands Of the rebels. The fall Of
Naco settled the question SO far as
norther Sonora is concerned. at least
for the present, and conditions there
should at once improve. Sonora is the
richest an dmost prosperous state in
the Mexican republic. 1t Is peopled
with the nose intelligent people in
Mexico. The people seem to have a
peculiarly close relationship with each
other industrially. 1t is closer than
that of the people of any other state
in Mexico and United States citizens
And the people on the border appre,
eiate the fact that the Mexicans o.
Sonora are loyal to that relationship.
All through the present revolution, and
in fact through all the trouble or tne
past two or three years, the people
of Sonora have been loyal to the best
interests OF themselves and the wei
fare of Americans who nave invest
ments in their state. They have tried
to safeguard mutually those inter
ests, and today there is relationship
that means much between these PEG
pie and the men from this country
who are helping develop the vast
resources of one Of the richest spots
on the face OF the earth. Not citizen
Of the state can be designated as q
despoiler of American property. Ban
dts have done il all. Particularly
have the constituticnalists kept faith
with the American people. They have
afforded protection to both life and
property and co-operated wherever
possible for the welfare Of their own
state and the good will of their Amer,
ican friends who have investments
in their country or who live on the
border.
The Review congratulates them on
this spirit. It is the kind Of spirit
which will make Sonora a perfect
garden spot. 1t means a mutuality Of
purpose which viii result in the IN
folding of the greatest possible pros
perity in Sonora for all parties con
cerned.
Let the intensity Of the spirit in
crease and the future will be 81
fruitful in results that even the mos
incredulous will be amazed.
