Strong, Opposition to
Labor Proft-Sharing
Scheme in Mexico

Mexico City, Aug. ia law re-
Gently passed and promulgated in the
state OF Vera Cruz to permit work
men to share in the profits of any in
dustry' in that state has met with
much protest and threat is made that
If there is any attempt to carry it
into effect Il general paralysis of in
duStry will result.
The law calls for the establishment
of commission of seven. three en-
ployerS and three Workmen and a
chairman selected jointly, in each
municipality in the state which, at
least once annually. shall call for the
books of all industrial concerns ana.
after a careful audit, shall name the
share of the laborers. The worklncn
are to receive not less than 10 per-
cent of the total net profits. No max
imum is stated.
The chairman is to be named by
the president of the municipality if
his selection cannot be mutually
agreed upon by the employers and
the workmen. 1t is pointed out by
those who oppose the law that this
will almost always result in the nam
ing of a workman inasmuch as vir-
tually all the presidents of munich
palities are laborers.
The profits to be divided, accord
ing to the law, will be understood TO
be the net earnings realized in the
business after taking into considera-
ton the interest and the amortiza-
ton of the capital invested. The in
tcrest Will not exceed 6 per cent per
9nnum and the amortization will be
adjusted according to the nature of
the capital, but must never exceed 10
per cent of the capital of the immov-
able estate"
One of the principal objections
made to the law is that it is re-
troactive to February 5, 1917. An
elaborate system of embargoes and
fines is provided in case the employ
ers fail to comply with the orders of
the commission or are discovered at
tempting to evade any of it's findings
Goods and properties may be sold at
public auction to secure payment.
Mexican newspapers almost as a
unit are opposed to the law and are
supporting the industries in their at
tempt to have federal action taken
against it. Committees representing,
various chambers of commerce have
conferred with President Obregon
who is now considering if relief
measures are possible. Legislatures
in other states have given Indications
mat similar laws are contemplated
there.

 The police believe Maimonti re- mained up after other members of the family retired to decorate the Christmas tree; that with the task completed he lighted gas heater, which had no pipe connection with the chimney, to heat water and that possibly he sat down and fell asleep. He was aroused some time later by the fumes. officers believe, but was overcome before he could save his family

He was three hours reaching their home and was weak from the cold when he got there.
