 ''As the labor forces will only take the field If that should be necessary, for the present they are performing guard duty in the points to which they are being assigned. For instance, the city of Aguascalientes IS guarded by 1000 iteration of Labor; Ojo Caliente, Pal millas, Rio Grande, Jerez, Pinos, and other points in the State of Zacatecas, as well as the capital of the state, are being guarded by federated peasants we'll armed, Ill accordance with instructions from this committee. In the State of Puebla 12,000 men belonging to our Fe- iteration are under the command of our own brother and colleague, General Ca lestine Gasca, whom we assigned to that state. The city of Torreon. in the state of Coahuila, 1000 trade un1onists are ready. In the State of Hidalgo we have organized 1000 men, who are now en- 'gaged>in keeping that state crear of all bandit or rebel groups. In the coal fields of the state of Coahuila the Mi

 Our federaed bodies in the States of Chihuaha. Durango, Michoacan, Tamau- lipus, Mexico (State,) Vera Cruz, Oax- aca, Chiapas, and our organizations all throughout the Republic from the be- ginning have been preparing themselves to combat the rebellion if their services should be needed From all this 1t can very we'll be asserted that the suppress sion of the rebellious movement will be accomplished within reasonabl short time. particularly when public opinion in general IS in our favor
 "As for the labor organization i'll the Federal District and the City of Mexico itself, they were the very first to re- spond to the call of duty.

''BOrer From Within" as Radical as Ever Dreams on In Com pany With Sam Lavit.

Bridgeport, Jan. 12-William z. Eos ter steel strike leader, organizer of the Trade Union Educational League, "bor- Ter from within" Communist and au- thor spoke before a fair-sized audience at Carpenters Hall Monday night. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Workers Defense League, an orga- nization whose chief function Is to raise money on behaf of radicals who get too red and invite the attention of the law. Among those present and action as a sort of host was the once distinguished Bridgeport labor leader, Sam Lavitt.
 Foster spoke for nearly two hours He recounted the details of the famous red trial at Saint Joseph, Michigan, when the Communists during a conven- tion at Bridgeman were raided, arrested and put on trial for having disobeyed the provisions, the spirit and the letter of the Michigan ailti-syndicalist law. jury which tried Foster disagreed but Rothenberg, the other indicted Commit mist, was convicted and is now Ian gushing" in prison. Perhaps, it would be better to use the word languaging" in prison since the impression one gets of communists IS that they are incorrigible takers and writers and that their rotund phrases are more deadly than their tao tics and their bombs.
 One of the first question asked of Foster was what he thought of secretary Hughes attitude on the recognition or Russia by the United States.
 Foster replied that this country must soon recognize the Soviet government or else place itself in an embarrassing posi- ton since all of the great powers are about to accept if not welcome the Mos COW government into the siSterhood of nations.
 nations Mo
 He characterized the documents upon which Mir. Hughes hangs his opposition to Soviet recognition as pure and bung- ling forgeries. Foster declared that a rolling mil lman could have done otter and said also that the Department of Justice or its intelligence division were Keystone comedy detectives.
 He pointed out that the officers, and leaders of the Third International have terminology all their own, easily rec ognized that there officers and leaders exercise care and caution in the con- struction of their official documents. Foster said that the Department of Jus tice agents got their deadly and revolu- ionary "evidence'' from the files of the regular organ published openly by the Workers Party which is the political expression of Communism i'll America.
 Fosters last remark might be true since it is well known that most Com munist literature is livid with revolu- tionary terms which are supposed to be accepted in their frguative and not their iteral sense. -sM
 Foster was asked his opinion of the Socialist party. His reply was sryptic q x1- i L. " Debs, he characterized as "an old warrior in the cause of labor" but he seemed to lack enthusiasm when Debs name was mentioned. It may be noted here that the regular socialists of the Jasper McLevy type are considered vel low" by the Communists however crif1- son they may be looked upon by the rest of the people

 The Mexican Federation of Labor is actively supporting the Obregon govern ment. Trade union members are flock ing into the army and are being drilled for service at the front

 These telegrams have been received with silence by the Pan American Fed eratlon of Labor, which declines to even communicate with the rebels III any way, even to denounce them.
 Others to whom such telegrams have been sent have answered, saying that their sympathy IS with the constitutional government of Mexico, headed by Pres ident Oregon
 Trade union representatives in border ports report that they are cooperating with government officials to prevent smuggling of arms to rebel forces, and it IS evident that the rebels are getting little if any materal in that manner
 Jorje Prieo Laurenz. sipning himself "chief of publicity" for the de la Hu- erta rebels at Vera Cruz, appeals to American workers, saying ''the red workers support our movement" a state ment which accords with statements all ready made by International Labor News Service and denied, apparently for tactical reasons, by communists and their apologists i'll the United States
 In a four-page report to President Gompers, Reynaldo Cervantes Torres, secretary, Mexican Federation of La bor. furnishes a detailed account of the military situation and of the measures which Mexican workers are taking to support the government.
 Torres, who was on of the Mexican delegates to the recent Fl Pase confer ence with A. F. of L. representatives, reports that 100 trade unionists form:the military guard at Chapultepic, the pres idential residence. Further in his letter Torres says:
 "On December 7, the Central Commit tee of the Mexican Federation of La bor issued circular letter, with the cha racter of pressing business, to all the affiliated organizations in the country, asking them to proceed to the organiza- ton of armed groups for the purpose ot combating the reactionary rebellion di- rected by the disloyal generals, GuadaI- upe Sanchez, Enrique Estrada and For tunato Maycotte.

said that conditions were very bad at that time. Russian leaders predicted that 1t would take twenty years to stab ilize he counry.
 Then came the new economic policy of the Soviet which was a sop to capi- talisn, return to private initiative.
 Foster was asked how far this later policy went.
 He replied that the Soviets permitted private enterprise i'll the unimportant industries but kept the basic industries tsrict1y under commumistic control and management.
 When reminded that Russia is reported to be nearing a certain. measure of eco- homie equilibrium and when asked. if the partial return to capitalism might not be responsible for this desirable condi- ton Foster was evasive. He said that the important fact was that Russia's re- covery has been swift and sure, that the things which Russia thought would take twenty years to accomplish have been done in two years.

SPRINGFIELD (. U. IS PUT ON
 BUDGET SYSTEM

Springfield, Jan. 18.-John F. Gatelee, former Vice-President of the Central Labor Union and business agent of the Motion Picture Operators Union, was elected president of the C. L. U., to suc- ceed Thomas B. McCarro1l at the an nual meeting in C. L. U. Hall, Sunday. January 6, President Gatelee was cleo ted without opposition. Although MT. McCarroll was nominated from the floor he declined and his name was withdrawn. Aside from the offire of rerording sec retary, for which tow were nominated, there were only single nominations. A bhdget system 10 handling the f. nane of the organization was also adopt ed. Rurnors that the C. L. U. Hall, owned by the Labor Lyceum and rented to the C. L: U., was to be sold, were ernphatically denied by President Gate lee immediately after the meeting.
 The nomination of retiring President McCarroll came as a elimination of an tmdercurrent of dissenssion within the ranks of the C. L. U., and his with drawa1 was called victory for the "ra- dicals" whose differences with the 'i- berals" have centered around.
 The meeting, attended by about IFS delegates from the locals Hated with ever held. Called to oreder shortly after 2 o'clock 1t was not adjourned until 5 30 and during the time the various points of the budget system and other business were discussed by delegates speaking from the floor. In addition to this and | the election of officers, annual reports were read by the secretary and other officers. A motion indorsin gthe stand taken by the electricians who went on strike Jan. 1, was made and unanimous l ly approved.
 The adoption of the budget system by the Central Labor Unon marks an important departure fro mprevious me l thods used i'll conducting the financial affairs of the organization said Presi- dent Gatelee. For the last two or three monthe 1t has been under consideration and committee has been working on 1t. They drew up budget recently and ap- portioned the income for this year anon the various activities of the organiza- ton and this budget was approved. Com mitees to take charge of financial edu- cational, organization and other activi- ties during the year will be appointed within a few days.
 Among the important divisions made was that of separating the real estate of the C. L. U., from the other activities. I will now become a separate fund to be handled by itself and not i'll conjunction with other interests.
 ''The C. L. U., Hall is not for sale. From time to time certain members have talked about the advisibility of getting other qaurters but that has been decided against. Any runor to the contrary is erroneous"

 Eve tried 10 become acquainted with these families and want to say in justice to them that they did all in their power and knowledge but they didn't realize.
 "Very few parents do realize that their childrehs thoughts and dreams may make up the whole existence for child.
 And that Is how this tragedy may do great good, if it makes parents know that contact with their children must be psychological as well as phy- scal, and that children can't be left to their own devices" Dr. Glueck added.
 Secretiveness on the part of a child Is apt to carry with it a sense of guilt and fear he said, emphasizing the need of frank relation with re- gard to matters of sex. Once the child is given an opportunity for un- burdening his mind, he becomes free and natural in his general relations, the scientist continued, adding:
 This tragedy occurred because no one ever knew these boys as persons. There was never at any time an un- derstandng of the whole child but certain phases. and a child isn't a phase Their parents knew each in the conventional relation, and their teachers knew each in the pupil piase--merely as intellectual recep- tacles."
 "The teacher had much better ask so had the parent-'how closely am I in touch with the lives of my children; how much do I know of what is going on in their minds; 70 what extent do they feel free to come to me with intimate personal problems 2"
