EXICAN LABOR
IS UNHAMPERED
by INJUNCTIONS
Have Learned to Use
Political Power
BY ALBERT F. coYLE.


CLEVELAND - OPP Mexican la
Dor is amazed to read in the news
papers of this country that Chicago
injunction judge, one Denis Sullivan
has thrust into Jail number of wom-
en- workers whose sole offense against
the law is that, as members of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Workers
Union, they dared to defy the anti
picketing injunction Of this judicial
tyrant.
Right to Picket.
The workers of Mexico not only
have the absolute right to picket, but
have evolved unique method Of
warning the public away from the
store or shop where a strike is in prog
ress. A conspicuous labor flag is set
up on the curb in front of a struck es-
Establishment as warning to the pub
lie not to patronize it. Woe unto the
worker seen going into such place!
He will certainly be asked for his
name and the number of his union
when he comes out, and will be COM
PEELED by his fellows to atone for his
treason to the labor movement.
The Mexican employer, moreover, is
not long in the dark as to what labor
requires as a means to ending the
strike. There are no hidden or uncer-
tain demands. The representative of
the Mexican Confederation of Labor
serves a written notice on the employ
er specifying just what the workers
want and why they are entitled to it.
Sometimes these demands are mime.
ographed and distributed to persons
passing in front of the struck shop.
Publicity to Demands.
We secured a copy of the demands
made by the Confederation Of Labor
on the proprietor of store in Mexico
City against whom a strike had been
declared for mistreating his clerks.
Even the clerks in Mexico City are
organized. We took this list of griev-
ances to one of the leading American
business men in Mexico City and
asked him if he did not regard the de-
mands reasonable. The American
looked the list over for a moment and
then replied, Come to think of it,
these are just about the same things
that any group of organized workers
in the United States would want"
The main difference between the
workers Of Mexico and those of the
United States is that the Mexicans
can enforce their legal rights because
/ they control the government, while
the Americans are usually at the
mercy of hostile courts and Indifferent
public officials.
Clayton Act.
A decade ago organized labor in this
country was boosting the Clayton act
as the Magma Charta of Labor. It
considered as "a commodity of com
merce." A splendid phrase, but it
gained nothing for the workers of
America. Indeed, the whole Clayton
Act has been virtually junked by our
courts, while labor is not strong
enough politically to protect itself.
The American worker has a vote
just the same as the Mexican worker.
The difference in labor legislation be-
tween the two countries is wholly due
to the fact that in Mexico the workers
have organized their political power
in their own Labor party just the
same as they have organized their
economic power through their trade
unions. The American workers have
not.

McCarI Asked to Decide if rs

Limit Applies Here.

The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission has asked the Con.
troller General to give it an opinion
as to whether the prohibition placed
by Congress against the purchase OF
land for park purposes to an amount
greater than Is per cent above the
assessed valuation applies to con.
demnation proceedings. Maj. Carey fl
Brown, acting director of the Once
Of Public Buildings and Public Parks,
said today that the commission had
not yet run into any snags in the
purchase OF land under this year &
appropriation. Such land has been
purchased within the 1875 per cent
limit, he said.
The park commission is anxious to
determine whether. If a plot Of ground
which it wants to purchase for a
park and playground is held for a
price more than IS per cent higher
than the valuation, 1t. can institute
condemnation proceedings, and then IL
the jury makes an award greater than
this 1875 per cent limit It can still
pay the BILL
It was admitted at the public parks
Office today that If the Controller
General decides adversely on I the
question 1t will be difficult to obtain
much of the land which has been
laid down in the plans for extension
of the public parks. As matter Of
fact, there is one project now pending
for. which the owner is asking more

M. |. Bridges, both of the traffic bu-

situation has been materially cleared

the traffic bureau to visit other inter-

has been reported.

1t Is the policemen and frernen have

would do the best he could. And In
