FILIPINO GOVERNOR
REBUKED BY WOOD
Moros AbSoIved From Blame
for Disturbance During
Thompson's Visit.

By the Associated Press.
ZAMBOANGA. Philippine Islands,
August 28.-Goy. Gen. Leonard Wood
severely blamed the provincial gov
ernor and other F'ilipinos for the
threatened conflict of Filipinos and
Moros Thursday, when Carmi A.
Thompson arrived to investigate con-
ditions for report to President Cool
idge. A very serious conflict with
boodshed was prevented, said GOV.
Wood, only by the action of Maj.
Allen Fletcher of the philippine
Scouts and Col. Luther Stevens,
commander of the Philippine Con-
stabulary, who placed their troops on
guard.
Wood returned hastily from Jolo
to Investigate the situation which
arose when crowds of Moros ana
F'ilipinos contended for the honor OF
welcoming Thompson. a part Oh
whose duty it is to report on the
Filirinos' local government of the
MorOs.
Wood summoned Filipino and
Moro leaders and questioned them
concerning the charges by Moros
that Filipinos had broken the agree
ment that honors for Thompson
should be participated in equally by
both factions. After listening to both
sides he said he agreed with the
Moros that the Christian Filipinos
had broken faith when they rushed
to the pier to greet Thompson with
placards demanding independence
| Two days before the disturbance, at
Zamboanga, Wood had arranged the
agreement. -,
In a statement Wood said: II
was anxious that Thompson should
see that the Moros and Filipinos
could maintain order. I regret to
say that my efforts failed because
the Christian Filipinos broke faith.
"These islands are owned by the
United States and all people in them
are of interest to the United States.
We are interested to see Moros and
Filipinos live together peaceably. The
conduct of the Christian FilipinOs
was anything but a credit to them.
1t will take a long time to remove
the stain
The Moro chiefs testified they
were becoming increasingly restless
under the present government, the
provincial officials of which are
Filipinos.
The hearing was held In the United
States Army Reservation in the pres
ence of Thompson.

LABOR IMPORT OPPOSED.
Unions Protest Entry of Porto
Ricans in Southwest.

Complaint has been filed in Wash
ington by labor organizations in the
Southwest over the importation of
native Porto Rican laborers for work
in the harvest fields of New Mexico
and Arizona.
A shipload of laborers is expected to
arrive in Galveston within a short
time for work in the cotton fields of
the Southwest. and if they prove sat
isfactory farmers in Iowa and other
States are planning to import more.
In answer to complaints filed by
Senators and Representatives, the
Labor Department held that Federal
immigration restrictions were not APP
plicable to Porto Ricans, as they are
classed as American citizens. The
labor organizations hold that impOr-
tations of Porto Ricans will lower the
wage scale to the point where Ameri-
can laborers could not compete.
