Bht in its present situation a news

THERB WAS A VERY prom
inent person in these parts few
days ago.
~--ifr was none otheE than Luls ~
Morones, secretary 81 labor IN the
cabinet of President Gales of Mex
leo.
But Morones came "incog," il i
said.
He was in Matamoros. Supposed 70
have been met for conference with
n gentleman from Dallas.
As quietly he slipped back south.
What il was all about no one
seems 10 know.
Bearing out the reported presence
in Matamoros of Morones wa, a
news story in n San Antonio paper
of the finding Of some papers ~ q
train near Saltillo by a woman pas
senger bound for San Antonio.
She said the paper were left BY a
man who got off the train rather
hurriedly at Saltillo.
They included some letters that
had been exchanged between the late
Samuel Gompcrs and former rrcsi-
dent Obregon.
Probably belonged to Moroncs.
REMEMBER MORONES sitting
in" al Pan-American labor confer
ence in Laredo back in 1918. during
the war.
Samuel Gompers was there. So was
Green, the present labor head. and
other members Of the executive board
Of labor.

laborer. skilled or otherwise. lie was
n lawyer by profession. and had be-
come prominent IN Mexican labor
circles by assisting them IN their
various organization troubles. In
time he was drafted by Mexico la
Dor to lead them. And he has been
doing just that ever since.
But what was Morones doing in
Matamoros "incog'"
