LAREDO, Tex. Nov. 1.-THE Pan
American labor conference was organ
lied here today, the first definite step
toward the establishment of industrial
solidarity throughout the western
hemisphere.
Preliminary meetings held yester-
day pointed out to the delegates, who
represent the United States, Mexico
and some of the Central and South
American countries, the vital part the
army of labor Is to play in the re-es-
tablishment of peaceful prosperity FOL-
lowing the closing Of the war.
Secretary of Labor William B. Will
son, who greeted the visitors In the
name Of the president of the United
States, and urged the importance Of
labor organizations. left last night for
Washington Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor; Frank Morrison. secretary Of
the federation. and the executive coun-
Gil of that organization, are taking
leading parts today in the wcrk OF the
conference.
Committees will be named and work
outlined preparatory to a Pan-Amer-
lean congress which will meet in the
near future at a date and place not
vet decided. Before that time an ef-
fort will have been made to unionize
the million or more Mexican laborers
in the United States and leaders in
the other countries will be urged to
develop the organization of unions in
their lands, the chief inducement be-
ing a plan for reciprocal recognition
in all the nations of the Americas.
This would enable a workman of
any craft who held card in union
in Mexico or Honduras, or wherever
he might live, to be admitted on an
