the support of labor in the mill

In making his plea for sup
port of the militarist institu-
tions of the country, Ross
launched into a vicious attack
upon the Workers Party and
the Trade Union Educational
League for opposing militarism.
The colonel was followed by q
number of ldelegates who made more
reactionary speeches than he had
done. Even Abraham Lefkowitz OF
the Teachers Union round himself
agreeing on the floor with Ross so far
as the latterSs attack on the Commun.
lists was concerned, but he strongly
disagreed on the question of militay.

against militarism and imperialism,
the matter was referred to the reso.

ed that Endorsement Of Mobilization

Among the other actions OF the con-
vention was the recommendation Of
the committee on compensation. It

OPEN SHOPPERS
GANG ENDORSES
''DEFENSE" DAY
American Planners Say
It's Hot Stuff

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 29-The in
famous American Plan ASSN, leader
of the open-shop movement in this
country, yesterday placed its official
blessing on Mobilization day and all
that it stands for. In a public state
ment issued by its director (who in
cidentally is high army officer,) the
open-shop association lauds Defense
day" as "an opportunity for every
loyal American to find his place in the
country's defense in the event Of an
emergency"
Old Familiar Faces
The American Plan Assn. is the
same crew that urged the use of federal
troops to break the miners and the
shopmen's strikes. It's director gets
out of his army uniform long enough
to denounce labor unions as "a menace
to the safety of the nation" There can
be no doubt as to what these open
shoppers mean by such vague phrases
as "the country's defense in the event
Of an emergency" or when "its security
is threatened"

GOVERNOR TRIES
TO Hold LABOR
Urges Cotton Pickers of
Tamaulipas to Remain
At Home

Candclario CARA, governor Of the
state of Tamaulipas. has issued an or
der that every effort must be taken to
prevent Mexican laborcrs from crossing
the Rio Grandc into Texas. according
20 dispatches received in Matamoros.
The governor addresses his order TO
immigration officials and others, urg
inE persuasion rather than any COM
pulsory measures as a means Of keeping
the labor in Mexico.
The need of cotton pickers IN Mex
leo. the fact that there is not 50 much
difference in the prices paid pickers on
that side and on the American side of
the Rio Grande. and the head tax and
other fees which IL 81 be paid by the
laborcr in crossing 20 the American
side of the river were cited as reasons
way the pickcrs should remain there
A circular has been sent out in Tam
aulipas explaining the situation fully,
according TO the opinion Of the state
governor. The petition states in part:
with the object Of preventing the
laborcrs Of Mexico from encountrring
the difficulties of entering the United
States under the new immigration laws
Of that country. il has been asked that
ample publicity be given to the rev
laws.
The Mexican immigrants IN order TO
be admitted 10 the United States must
obtain from the American consul near
est his residence visa. for which ne
must pay $40. indcrcndent Of the eight
dollars he must pay the office or i'm
migration Of America where he intends
~ enter
The immigration visa is good only
for a period or not more than four
months. at the end Of which time the
entrance NAV be negated, and the i'm
migrant required to return.
The circular gives a list Of those who
are exempted from paying the $40. II
was pointed out BIZ the governor that
the change IN wages would no; ~
enough 70 justify the laborcrs in lcav-
ing. only for a period or four months,
and u pay the head tax and visa tax.
He explained, however. that il was in
entire good relations with Texas that he

The vote was taken after the premisr
