RAILROAD TORN
UP THIRTY MILES
SOUTH Of JUAREZ

FL Paso, Tex, June "a military
train sent south on the Mexican Cen
trail this morning returned to Juarez
tonight. having reached a point few
miles north of Samalayuca, thirty
miles south of the border, where they
found the track torn up. The officer
in command reported considerable
force of mounted rebels marching
from Samalayuca in the direction of
Guadalupe, a border town opposite
Fabens, Tex, thirty-two miles east of
El Paso. The Guadalupe garrison,
which is small, was recently brought
to Juarez and the town is protected
only by a few fiscal guards.
In order to prevent the road from
being used by the rebels, the officials
of the Mexico Northwestern railroad
have brought all their locomotives to
Juarez. The train which arrived to-
night brought three locomotives,
which leave none north of the Cumbre
pass The line over the pass has been
out of commission for months and be-
yond that point the railroad is being
operated alternately by the govern
ment and the rebels.

There are others who, like the bour-
bons of old, never forget anything be-
cause they never learned anything.
But, as | say, there are some en-
ployers who have not yet seen the
light Right now there is a concern
in Toledo that refused point blank
even to reconsider their action in i'm
creasing hours of labor, which they
set for their employees.
No Unjust Demands.
s'Tfe principles for which labor has
fought since the beginning must come
to full fruition We are making no un-
just demands.

without which civilization itself would
fall. We intend to make this country
worthy of the civilization of our times
and to future historians the story Of
the labor movement in the United
States will prove the greatest source
of information and inspiration as to
numbers. power and influence"
Applause from The floor at this
point lasted several minutes, and
when 1t subsidized Mr.. Gompers told
the delegates that .heir duties at this,
probably the most important conven-
tion ever held by organized labor,
would be many and that he was con-
fident that "this gathering from
shop, mill, mine and store" would,
at the conclusion of its efforts, be
able to give a good accounting of what
had been accomplished to their con-
stityIents and to the people of the
country generally.
A message of greeting from Presi-
dent Wilson was read. In 1t the presi-
dent paid high tribute to Mr.. Com
pers and the work he had accom-
plished.
The convention, which will last two
weeks, will occupy itself principally
with reconstruction problems.

IGOMPERS DECLARES TYRANNY

ORGANIZED LABOR OF u. S.


Atlantic City. N. j., June g.
Tyranny, whether it be in the polti-
cal or industrial life of the nation,
will not be tolerated by organized la
bor, Samuel Gompers, president OF
the American Federation of Labor,
told delegates at the opening of the
thirty-ninth session of the organiza-
ton here today.
Men and women shed their blood
and made great sacrifices during the
war because they were fighting for
principles and ideals.' said Mr.. Com
pers. Now that the war has been
won, the workers-the bone and flesh
of the nation--do not intend those
principles and ideas shall be lost sight
Of
When the war began we realized
that If mlitarsm and autocracy
should be victorious, never again
would there be opportunity for free
dom of any sort; never again would
there be any chance for labor to de-
velop and protect itself and the rights
Of people who work. So we threw
our lot upon the side of those who
stood for the largest measure of free
dom.
New Concept Of Right.
Now the war has been won and
the day of reconstruction and read
justment is at hand. A new concept
of right has been reached and the
world has gone through q & reat
change. Hereafter the relations be-
tween nations and the relations be-
tween men, whether they be employ
ers. skilled mechanics. or ditch dig
gers, will be looked at in a different
light. The workers of the world are
determined to have a voice in settling
reconstruction problems that affect
them.
Employers. too, have come to see
the light of the new concept of right
and they are accepting the new order
