Not Recognize Governor.

lean Prelates Violated
Law in Filippi Case.

Advices received in this city from
Mexico City are that President 0bregon
has sent telegram to the Labor Syndi-
calists of the state Of Coahuila, con-
demning their attitude as expressed in
a telegram which the Labor Syndicai-
lists had sent the president to the eff
feet that at a mass meeting of the
Labor element OF the state of Coahuila
held recently at Agujitas it had been
resolved not TO recognize General
Arnulfo Gonzales as the governor of
the state of Coahuila. and that the
Labor element had given the governor
ten days within which to resign his
office.
President Obregon in his answer
states he dcplores the fact, that the
labor element has misunderstood the
main objects under which they were
organized which was for their mutual
protection and not for the purpose or
assuming o defiant attitude in active
political affairs.
The Federation Coahuila del Trabajo
championed the Agujitas meeting and
has recently adopted communistic
platform entirely Bolsheviki, starting
out with the statement in their mani
festo, THAT the Federation refused to
recognize rights of property"
For some time General Arnulfo Con-
zales, the duly elected governor of
Coahuila, has taken a bold stand
against the Socialistic element in his
state. and the labor element formed
an independent legislature, which has
been functioning TO some extent.
Gales Against Gonzales.
Minister of the Interior L. Elias
Gales is reported TO have taken a stand
against Governor Gonzales and cham
pioned his impeachment, which how
ever the National Congress refused TO
entertain.
As a result the Agujitas mass meet
ing was recently held, attended by
hundreds of coal miners, and the stand
now taken by President 0bregon would
indicate that he will uphold Governor
Gonzales even as against Z. Elias
Gales.
Recently Co-Operatista leaders have
been attacking President Obregon, even
to the extent that Jorge Prieto LaurenZ,
the youthful mayor OF Mexico City,
and head of the CO-Operatista party,
which was organized by Elias Gales,
denounced President ObregOn as n
yacillating character and man of
double face. This was brought about
by President obregon refusing to APP
prove of the slate of Judges and other
judicial employees Of the Co-Opertatista
party, which Elias Gales, as minister
of the Interior had declared to have.
been duly elected.
