AT
ALL. CONVENTION
TO BAR MExICANS
Say WOll Report to Ask
Immigrant Persecution

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 9.-Of-
ficials of the American Federation of
Labor state that when its sessions
are resumed tomorrow, a report
agreed to by Matthew Woll, vice
president of the A. F. of L.. and E.
Mujica and C. A. Vargas, fraternal
delegates from the Regional Fedora
tion of Labor of Mexico, will be pre-
sented on the subject of immigration
of Mexican workers into the United
States. 1t will be a most drastic pro-
posal for not only limitation of the
numbers permitted to cross the bor-
der, but for official and unofficial po-
lice spying on those allowed or desir-
ing to come into the United States,
and in which the reactionary leaders
of the Regional Confederation of La
Dor, and the Mexican government will
be asked to cooperate to persecute
any workers having radical tenden-
cies.
For Passports.
The report is that the Woll COM
nittee on immigration has drawn up
protocol containing statutes which
the executives of the A. F. of l.. and
the Regional Federation of Labor of
Mexico will ask the Mexican govern
ment to adopt, allowing Mexican
workers to come to the United States
only with passports, and providing
that only enough passports shall be
issued to keep immigration of Mexi-
can workers to the U. S. within the
limit that would apply if the U. S.
immigration laws covered Mexican
immigration.
1t is understood that the committee
considered making the request direct
ly to the United States government to
bar Mexican workers, but modified its
decision to the present form to try
and make use of the bureaucracy of
the Mexican labor unions.

Especial to the Daily WGrker).
MOSCOW, Oct. 8. Pointing
out that reports coming from various
parts of the world show that the
working class and the oppressed
masses of all countries are preparing
to make of the Tenth Anniversary
of the Nov. 7, 1917, Revolution a
great International Labor Festival,
Pravda, official organ of the ALI
Union Communist Party, notes that
the preparations for the Tenth
Anniversary finds particular express
sion in interest shown in the organi-
cation of delegations to the ami
versary celebrations.
Many Labor Delegations.
Labor delegations to the U. S. s.
R. have long since become an in
ternational factor in the labor move
ment. However, keen interest is ac-
tually observable on the part of
workers sending delegations is un-
precedented. The sending of dele
cations is but a part of the general
anniversary campaign; among the
various labor delegations originated
and is maturing the idea that October
celebrations be made starting point
for the further consolidation of the
unity of worker and peasant masses
who are friends of the first workers
and peasants republic.
Initiative From British.
"The initiative toward uniting the
delegations in the Soviet capitol
emenates from the British revolu-
tionary proletarians. This idea meets
with warm sympathy from workers Of
other countries, especially Germany
and France. The Central Council Of
Trade Unions of the U. S. S. r. has
received a telegram from the secre-
tariat of the London Committee,
stating that the British National
Committee for organization of labor
delegations to the U. S. S. r. has
been notified by secretaries of the
French, Belgian, German and Aus
trian delegations that they agreed
to organize joint conference to dis
the defense of tn Soviet Union against
the war danger. The British Ma
tional Committee inquiries whether
the Central Council agrees with this
proposition and is prepared to make
all necessary preparations for the or
ganization of such conference. The
Central Council wired reply agreeing
to the proposition Of joint confer
ence and promised to undertake all
measures to help the British and
other delegations in the realization
of their propositions.
Pravda declares that this move
should be carried out as opposition
to the organized depredations Of
British imperialism that has as its
aim the isolating of the Soviet Union
and preparing war against it. In

EnclrclIng ReactlonarIeS.
General Jose Gonzalo Escobar,
commander of the federal column
pursuing the revolving reactionaries
is reported closing in on them today.
He has arrived at Rancho El Triunfo,
20 miles east Of Perote, the presiden-
tial office announced. Here General
Escobar had expected to catch up
with Generals Gomez and Almada
The enemy evidently had received
advance notification of the approach

camped hours before Escobar's forces
stormed the rancho.
Federal Planes Bomb Foe.
A report reaching Mexico City to-
day said the federal columns pursu-
ing Gomez and Almada had made
contact with the enemy east of
Puebla, and that the federals had lost
some men in the fighting. The gov
ernment announced it has three
columns of troops bearing down upon
Gomez and Almada to prevent their
escape southwark to the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, or north to the oil
fields. Government bombing planes
were said to be cooperating with the
federal general, Escorbar, harrassing
the reactionary forces who were re-
ported moving in the direction of the
Vera Cruz coast, pillaging towns and
ranches in their path.
Passenger Service Resumed.
Passenger trains resumed service
today between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz, each train being equipped with
armored cars and provided with a
heavy military escort.
Acting under direct orders of Pres
ident Gales, government agents to-
day began seizing the property of
Serrano, Gomez and their political
confederates, many of whom were
executed during last week. The
agents seized the motor cars belong
ing to Gomez which were left be-
hind when he fled. The confiscated
property will be sold and the proceeds
applied to payment of the govern
ment's expense in putting down the
revolt.
Indian Tribes Aid Government.
Five companies of Maya Indians, in
lower Sonora state, the home terri
tory of General Obregon, offered
their services to General Obregon and
President Gales to assist in putting
down the rebellion. The Mayas said
they were already equipped for war
and ready to take the field.
On the other hand, bodies of super
stitious Yaqui Indians, already hos
tile to the Gales government, were
reported encamped in the mountains
800 miles south Of the United States
border. likewise equipped for war.
