MEXICAN WORKERS
MAY FIGHT COURT
Labor and Supreme Tribunal
May Come to Grips Over
District Judges Actions.
By the Associated Press,

MEXICO CITY, October 20.-The
power and political influence Of union
labor in Mexico City, the stronghold
Of the Regional Confederation of
Mexican Workers, the dominant labor
organization in Mexico, may be pitted
soon against the Mexican Supreme
Court to determine whether organized
labor or the Supreme Court Is the
fnal authority in the constantly pre-
vailing strikes and disputes in this
country between employers and EN-.
ployes.
The confederation plans a great
demonstration parade in Mexico City
to back up it's demand that the Su.
preme Court dismiss District Court
Judge Couto, who in several cases has
granted injunctions sought by en-
ployers declaring illegal certain local
strikes. The date for the demonstra.
ton has not been fixed.
Secretary General Medina Of the
confederation declares that if the
demonstration does not bring about
the dismissal of this judge, to whom
labor objects, the organization will
then consider calling a general strike
In this city for the purpose Of forcing
dismissal.
Strikes Of one kind or another are
almost always under way here.
"Workmen's Cancellation and arbitra-
ton boards" which the employers re-
gard as labor controlled, make the
decisions in such labor disputes.
These decisions are usually against
the employers, who in some cases have
gone into the courts seeking injunc-
tions to prevent the strikers from
Closing their places Of business.
