Green Upholds Gompers' Pol
icy-Praises Recent
Action by Mexico
BY KENNETH CLARK

N
The banner of bitter opposition
that the late Samuel Gompers
hoisted against Soviet Russia and
all its works will be carried for
ward by his successor, William
Green, as president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, it was
announced today.
AS spokesman for the several
millions of organized American
workmen, Green declared that the
federation would steer a course as
wide of Russia and communistic
political principles as under Com
pers.
Enemy of Workers.
The present Russian government,
Green asserted, is inimical to the
best interests. welfare and pros
perity Of workers throughout the
world, and he urged federationists
particularly to nilitantly suppress
any entertainments Of communistic
influences in the federation.
The action Of President Gales Of
Mexico in notifying Russia that
his government will not tolerate
any interference in internal affairs,
and especially not allow the Com
munists to use Mexico as a base
for commanding the Americas"
called forth Green's reaffirmation
of Gompers' policies.
There can be nothing but CRATE
full appreciation in labor's ranks
everywhere for President Gales
vigorous action" Green told the
International News Service today.
Thwarted by Gales.
1.-The same information upon
which President Gales acted-re-
ports that Russia intended using
Mexico as a base TO extend COM
munistic propaganda throughout
North, Central and South America
had also come to US. Gales cour-
ageous policy will thwart that
scheme.
"The Federation will stand pat in
its fight against bolshevism, a battle
that was ably directed and cham
pioned by Mr.. Gompers.
Communism has never been able
to make much Roadway in the
United States, and what little
ground it did gain at the start. is
steadily being lost. That may ac-
count for the desire Of Russian
agents to establish q base in the
western hemisphere where they
could carry on their work unin-
terrupted.
Cancer" Losing Here.
I'm any event, it is becoming
more and NOR apparent that this
cancerous growth is not going to
make any progress in the Amsri-
cas-"
During the latter years Of his
life, President Gompers devoted
most of his time to checking the
growth Of Communism among
American workers, and toward
cleaning. house" in those sections
of the federation in which it was
apparent extremists were gaining
the ascendency.
There will be no change in shat
policy" said Green. I'VE will carry
on"
