WAR BY LABOR MOVE
Gompers Seeks Affiliation of
Two Nations Unions.

Afilation of Mexican labor unions
with the American Federation of La
Dor was suggested by Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American body, as
new safeguard against war. His plan
was outlined in letter forwarded yes
terdav TO officials Of the Casa del OBJ
zero Mundial, the Mexican central la
Dor body, and to President Carranza.
Mr.. Gompers asked for a conference
between delegates representing the
Mexican and United States organiza-
tions at II Paso at an early date. Its
purpose. he said, would be "to propose
a practical method Of mutual cooper~
ton between organized labor in Mex
leo and the United States"
Previous TO forwarding the communi-
cations Mr. Gompers conferred with
Charles A. Douglas, attorney for Car
rama in Washington, and received the
lawyers approval Of the project. The
American federation head declared that
international peace was in the hands
of the wage earners and that it was

The expedition is rushing prepare
lions for the inevitable clash with the

ordnance department is hurriedly pre-

General Pershing, who came in on
tour Of inspection, has gone back TO
the advance lines.
The punitive expedition is now an
army Of occupation-with the most be-
nevolent intentions In the world, per
haps, but nevertheless an army OF oc-
cupation. Carranzistas and all other
Istas resent this. One of these nights
there will be few shots exchanged
between the opposing outposts or pa

This is as certain to happen as the
