LAB0RITES QUIT
 ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
MeXiCanS Refuse to Take Part
 in Strife

Mexico City, June 26 tE -- Con- fltcts provoked by its energetic measures to enforce labor's rights against capital apparently have halted, at least temporarily. the campaign of the Mexican Regional Confederation of Labor to create a national labor party.
 This party, according 10 state ments made by Luis Morones, secre- tary of industry, commerce and la bor and the dominant figure In the confederation. Is 10 be known as the National Laborite party and its formation has been found necessary for the purpose of intervening in Mexican politics as a means of safe guarding the rights secured through the revolutions of the last 15 years for the proletarian classes.
 The most dangerous menace to the confederation ambitious pro- gram thus far has been the con- stantly and rapidly widening split with the Agrarians. Syndicalist and Agrarian forces, throughout Presi- dent Gales campaign for the presi- dency and the Delahuerta revolu- tion which threatened to send 1t on the rocks, supported Gales en- thusiastcally.
 After Gales induction into office, however and with Morones. the confederation leader in the cabinet. the Argarians claim they have gonr virtually unrewarded and the Syn dicalists. or organized industrial workers, have failed 10 cooperate ( with the Agrarians to upift theiI comrades on the ranches. More. over, they assert, the government has used federal troops to aid striking industrialists, while these same troops have been used against Agrarian attempts to carry out the governments land division policies. The break apparently has become final.
 The school teachers strike in Puebla, supported by the General Confederation of Workers, failed because it was outlawed by the confederation. A decision by Presi- dent Gales, declaring illegal the strike decreed by the confederation against the Huasteca Petroleum company in the Tampico district. has aroused the Independent labor clements in the oil regions. It is de- clared that the government dis criminated against the Independents in favor of the confederation,

Saved By Jumping

Two companies of fremen. who were fighting the flames from the top of a building. narrowly escaped death when the walls collapsed. They succeeded in leaping to the roof of an adjoining building.
 c. A. Buckley, a policeman, said he was sure that most of the people in the theater escaped although he declared that some undoubtedly had been trapped.
 Melvin McNut. negro porter in a restaurant on the ground floor of the building, said that half an hour before the explosion he went into the basement with the cook and they found gas fumes. He discussed with the cook the advisa bilty of notifying the gas company, and had gone out side to get fresh air when the blast occurred
 McNut said he felt sure several persons in the restaurant did not escape.
 A second blast was reported to have followed the first by ten minutes.
 Property damage was placed at si50000 by Fire Chief Henderson.

Finds Wrong Numbers
 On Tagged Automobile

In connection with today's arrest for operating an unregistered car Patroman Clarence Lanpher tag ged" the machine yesterday for park iEg too long on Church street, re- turning the stub of his tag to police headquarters. The operator of the car ignored the summons. Lan- pher recalled the tag was placed on a Hudson car, but comparing his numbers with those of the state de- Dartment, found the registry num- bers were those of an Essex. An in- vestigation disclosed that an Essex car originally carried the number plates. but was sold three months ago and replaced by Hudson. The number plates were placed on the Hudson but transfer was not made in the motor vehicle department As a result. the charge of operating an unregistered car arises.

which has presumed the role of off, ficiaI political party.
 The only decisive defeat suffered thus far by the confederation has been the failure of the bank era ployes' syndicate 10 enforce its de- mands. Faced with a threat by one American and three British bank. ing institutions to liquidate and abandon the country if they were forced to accede to their employees program, the confederation with drew from It's lists. It still domi- mates. however, the labor organiza- tlons In the capital, with the ex- ception of the bakers and electri- clans.
 Another factor which has exerted an influence in staying the sweep of the radical Labor-Agrarian pendu- lum toward the left has been its malign effect on foreign relations. A constant stream of complaints from American and British inter- ests has flown into the American embassy for the last five months. This accumulation Of grievances. both from land owners as a result of alleged illegal Agrarian seizures. and from industrialists, because of syndical action, was one of the mo- tives prompting the departure, on May %3 of James R. Sheffield. American ambassador, for New York and Washington, te lay before the government a report on the situation.
 Faced by split between the Agrarians, many of whom he him self had armed during the de la Huerta revolt. and the organized industrial workers, whose candidate he repeatedly announced himself to be, President Gales has stated he 1 would not intervene in the conflict. ! The newspapers of the capital, how ever, have published stories to the effect that orders have been issued to military commanders through out the republic to disarm all Agra rians.
 The one bright spot in the labor
 ltuation, as seen by Excelsior con- ,crvative organ, was the presidents Dutspoken declaration, that Mexico would not permit the Russian Bol- shevists 10 use this country, because il had recognized Moscow. as base Of operations for spreading soviet propaganda throughout the western hemisphere.

 Shrieks Are Heard
 Fire Chief Alex Henderson de- clared that 30 to 35 persons must have been trapped in the building, passing his opinion on the facts that shrieks were heard from the wreck age after the collapse of the build ing and also the belief that 1t would have been impossible for all to escape In the short interval between the explosion and the collapse Of the roof
 The midnight show had just start ed and a love scene was playing on the screen when the blast rocked the building, bringing down the bal cony as the floor gave way, accord ing to survivors.

RACE DIFFERENCES
 AROUSE FEELINGS
Speaker Warns Of Need Of Better
 Diplomacy

Honolulu, June 26 Pl-The danger of a great racial alignment and pos sible racial clash in the Pacific and the need for consideration of race feeling and dignity to avert friction and conflict were pointed out in luncheon address today at the !. M. c. A. by Professor c. H. Blakeslee. professor of histsory and interna- tional relations of Clark university. Worcester, Mass, and a member Of the institute of Pacific relations con- yening here next week.
 Professor Blakeslee said Japan and the United States had not no fundamental clash of interests or policy sufficient to cause war The Washington conference and the events following gave striking change 10 international relations in the Pacific. The problems of the Pacific, he said, were more difficult of solution than those of the Allan tic because more serious questions and possible race antagonisms might arise in the Pacific.
 The Anglo American group in the Pacific Might find itself opposed by a grouping of Asian races with a prospect of race conflict. The way to avert that conflict was to treat international questions so as to avoid wounding international sensibilities and the "intangibles of international relations-success, dignity, pride, sympathy and sensibilities-should be taken into account
 There was a danger, he said of the United States and the British Dominions in the Pacific gradually grouping themselves in one great group and Japan and China and those lower down the Asian coast forming union and regarding themselves as opposed to the white group.
