Not to be outdone by others, Com
brazo, delegate from Santo de Do
mingo, occupied by United States ma
rines in defiance Of all law to force
the rule Of American banks upon the
the workers Of that country, took the
floor before the A. f. OF L. delegates
and debased himself in the most alb
ject and disgraceful manner. He de-
clared they had good labor laws in
Santo de Domingo, but would not en-
force them as the American marines
would not allow labor to organize OF
make political speeches.
In spite of this humiliating oppres-
sion by American Imperialism, Com.
brazo asserted that the workers were
conservative like Gompers." Like
Gompers, he, too, wanted immigration
laws against Negroes who worked for
fifteen cents per day. He apparently
stands boldly out for sixteen cents.
He said that American capitalists in
Santo de Domingo boycotted the Dom
inican workers because Negroes from
the West Indian islands were cheaper.
"Gompers is the great emancipator OF
the workers." said Combrazo, and
added that Gompers, Morrison and
Matte Woll were idols" in his coun-
try.
Several Mexicans followed with
speeches lauding Gompers. Jose Mi
guel Bejarano of the Mexican agricul-
tural department, stated that nearly
fifty per cent of the Mexican workers
were organized, were in control and
were giving the land back to the
Indians" He was careful to say that
they were not confiscating it.
Almost 300 delegates and guests Of
the A. F. of L. convention are going
to the Inauguration Of Gales as guests
of the c. R. o. M. and the Mexican
government, the government paying
the bills. When Soviet Russia did
this, it was great crime, according
to the Gompers family.
Sch1ossberg of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers is also going to
Mexico City at the expense of the
Mexican government.
The Wise interpreter.
A representative of a Mexican so
cialist theatrical company appeared
on the platform. He said they were
travelling from town to town spread
ing revolutionary socialism and
wanted the support of the American
Federation of Labor. The interpreter
translated this to the A. F. of L. dele
gates as spreading principles of the
American Federation Of Labor"
Something Worth Fighting For.
Soto y Cana, agrarian leader Of
Mexico, said that the reason they had
to have a violent revolution was be
cause state of feudalism had existed
in which good-looking women became
the common property of ranchers and
their sons. Madero, he said, was the
father of Mexican working class revo
lutions, but now they were going tc
stop the use Of force.
Strikes had been met with machine
guns, Soto Y Cana said, and there
were so many dead they had to be
carried away in fiat cars and. dumped
into the sea. But now everything was
going to be done according to law
and he virtually apologized because
force had ben used. He asked the
A. #. of L. delegates If they would not
have used force under these condi-
tions. They squirmed, but no one re
piled. Now, finished Soto y Cana
Mexico was inviting foreign capital
and everything will be lovely.
Ape Sans Exclusion Policy.
The c. r. o. M. Mexican Fedora
tion of Labor in its session, passed
a resolution in favor of barring all
Chinese from Mexico, and to "Mexi
canize" the Chinese who are there by
insisting that they be "law abiding
citizens" or be deported.
Trevino, echoing the policy Of
Gompers in trying to lay the ground
for re-entry to the Amsterdam Inter
national of Trade Unions, expressed
the hope that the worlds labor unions
