Expressions Of American
Sincerity IN Pledges
Of Cooperation.

victory on the battlefields of Europe.
To a nation containing a great
cross-section of this character the
American nation, speaking through
the trade union movement, has come
here offering the hand of fellowship
and helpfulness. Mexico has the brain
to understand and the delightful char
acter to appreciate. 1t has likewise
the pride to wish to reciprocate.
Through her man of labor who offer
her only visible hope, she has come to
take our hand to promote a common
effort for mutual understanding and
helpfulness.
This is the first time America has
come to Mexico with hands that the
Mexican people believed to be clean
That President Wilson offered sincere
friendship two years ago they could
not believe, because they could not un-
derstand it. They believe it now.
If the whole Mexican people can be
brought to abandon their suspicious
of all things American, they will have
made a great advance in working out
their own salvation-for suspicion is
an unhealthy thing, and the more SO
when unfounded. This conference has
done more than any other event in
history to dispel the old, old notion.
"Amigo" will be the term for Ameri-
cans more often now and "gringo''
will be used less than formerly.
Two Secretaries Elected.
The good work is going on. 1t has
just been begun. The new Pan-Ameri-
can Federation has decided that there
shall be two secretaries--one English
speaking and one Spanish speaking,
the Spanish secretary to be selected
from the Latin-American nations and
to have his office in Washington. This
will mean a constant stream of infor-
nation about the United States going
into Mexico and the other Latin-Amer-
lean nations through this secretary.
Facts will be spread to the south as
never before. Truth is a mighty force.
1t is the only force that is mightier

than lies. In time it will win.
Another factor for good is found in
the decision of the conference to sta
tion Mexican and American labor rep
resentatives at points of crossing
along the border to facilitate the move
ment from nation to nation and to pro-
tect the unknowing from harsh treat
ment.
President Wilson Represented.
The coming of Secretary of Labor
Wilson as the personal representative
of the President was a most potent
factor in the success of the confer
ence. 1t lent to the whole proceed
ings new Importance and convinced
the visiting delegates of the sympathy
of the American government. No
more fruitful move has ever been
made by the American government.
The secretary spoke several times and
made profound impression, not only
on the foreign visitors, but on the
resident Mexicans and Americans.
The friendly cooperation of the Unit
ed States army, through the Thirty
seventh regiment of infantry, also
helped to marked degree
On the opening day OF the confer
ence the American and Mexican dele
cations marched from opposite ends
to the center of the international
bridge and there grasped hands in
fraternity. The Thirty-seventh regi-
ment band played the Mexican nation
al air, to the great delight of the Mex
leans. Never before had the two peo-
pies come into contact in such an in
timately friendly manner. This was
not Diaz coming to meet an Ameri-
can chief executive. This was the
hand clasp of peoples. The story of
this meeting will be told in every Mex
lean city to astonished and gratified
ears.
The Pan-American Federation of
Labor has come 1t has work of the
most profound Importance before it..
Perhaps the fate of peoples is in its
keeping. If that is so, no other agency
could so we'll discharge the obligation.

Metal Trades
Council
Vote In Favor Of international
Amalgamation.

Seattle The Pacific coast metal
trades council has voted in favor of
amalgamating all metal trades in
ternational unions into one organiza-
ton. Metal trades councils will be
asked to vote on the project and if
the decision is favorable the metal
trades department A. F. of L. will be
asked to adopt the plan at its Atlantic
City convention in June.
The convention rejected the award
of the United States shipping board
(known as the Macy board). Advo-
Gates of amalgamation claim that this
policy would check any attempt to
play eastern ship yards against those
located on the west coast.

FEATEIERED
WAS THIS MACHINIST
ORGANIZER.
Mob Led by Uniformed Ser
geant of State Constabularly.

Jackson, Mich.-Herbert Crawford,
international Association of Machin-
lists organizer, was taken from his
hotel in this city and tarred and feath-
cred. The mob was led by a uniformed
sergeant of the Michigan state con-
stabulary. The mob also broke into
the room of a travelling man, who was
assaulted somewhat less severely. The
reason for this is that the mob thought
they had hold of another machinists'
organizer.
Crawford was engaged in organizing
at the time. The local daily press
gave the incident small attention.
One editor, with his eye on the cash
register, published this statement:
1T is reported that an l. W. w.
agitator from outside the city was
taken in hand by vigilantes Saturday
night and treated to coating of tar
and feathers and told to leave town
and to let no grass grow under his
feet while he was doing so. He is
said to have appeared at one or two
houses in the south part of town and
when last seen was inquiring his way
to the hotel where he was stopping.
He was making use Of a union card
to gain entrance to local labor cir
cles."
A different policy is taken by Editor
Henley, of the Square Deal, official
newspaper of the Jackson trades ccun-
Gil, who gives the. widest publicity to
this exhibition of mob law.

Laredo, Textile Pan-American
Federation now is an established fact.
It's organization was completed by the
Pan-American Labor Conference held
in this city at the invitation Of the
American Federation of Labor. In the
doing of this work much has been
done-it is not to be said today how
much--toward doing two things:
| 1. Convincing the Mexican people
that the people of the United States
are desirous of being friends in hon
esty.
2. Giving the Mexican workers an
impetus in working out their own in.
dustrial salvation.
Beyond these two things there is
nothing to be done at present. The
doing of them alone is of the utmost
Importance.
Samuel Gompers was elected presi-
dent of the Pan-American Federation
of Labor, John Murray of the Inter
national Typographical Union, The
English speaking secretary, and Can
uto Vargas, of the United Mine Work
ers of America, as Spanish speaking
secretary.
The headquarters Of both secretaries
will be in Washington, D. C.
To Hold Convention Annually.
Conventions will be held the second
week in June of each year. The next
convention will be held in the Republic
of Panama.
A headquarters for organization and
education among Spanish speaking
workers will be established in New
York City if possible and both Mexi-
can and American labor representa-
tives will be stationed at border points
where immigration is heaviest.
The mechanism of international ex-
change of opinion and aid has been
erected. Also the mechanism for the
exchange of truth has been erected
How badly the mechanism for the
exchange of truth is needed has been
demonstrated here with completeness.
Mexican delegates have told this con-
ference that it is not uncommon for
Mexican working people to be of the
opinion that the American Federation
of Labor is an organization of men
who come close to being tyrants who
wink at the oppression of their fel-
low workers. A half days debate on
the I. w. w. brought out this state OF
affairs.
