President POrtes Gil Plans to Call Congress to Vote On Measure-Right to Strike Is Recognized.

Mexico City, July 9 tP-President Emilio Portes Gil will issue a call immediately for a special session of the Mexican congress to convene July 20 to consider the special labor code which he announced last No vember.
 The code involves radical and drastic changes in usual present day conceptions of the relationship be- tween employe and employer, Its adoption will mark one of the young revolutionary governments greatest strides along the path designated for il by it's mentors, Alvaro Obre- Eon, Plutcaro Elias Gales and President Portes Gil.
 Many innovations are contemplat- ed in the measure, probably the most drastic of which is a system of obligatory labor. Senor Portes Gil published his proposals shortly after he was elected provisional presi- dent and while still minister of in terior in the Gales cabinet.
 Internal dissension and the spring rebellion prevented his pro- mitigating them in the earlie" months of his admistration, Now. with the country largely pacified and the religious settlement achiev-- ed it was said he might proceed with a social reform dearest to his heart.

JUST HOW SMART
MAY A MOVIE BE?

On leaving the Circle theater late
yesterday afternoon a gentleman in
the audience made this remark after
seeing 1.-THE Doctors Secret"-"And
SO this is an example of what we are
to expect on the screen in wise Sar-
casm. If so, deliver me from evil"
This throws some interesting light
upon a question that is troubling
producers of movies these days. The
question is, 'just how much smart
and Wise-cracking sarcasm will the
public swallow in an all talker?
Judging by 1.-THE Doctors Secret"
the audience yesterday found a
much too large dose of the wise
cracking highbrow stuff.
''The Doctors Secret" is devoted
to filming and recording the terrible
disgusting domestic fights of a
titled English lady and her hus-
band. He is a brute and she feels
justified in carrying on an affair
with an engineer, not locomotive,
but civil.
After hubby becomes brute one
night, she decides to run away with
her SWeetie, the engineer, to India.
When he goes out to call taxi, he
is struck and killed. The Lady of

doctor in evening clothes arrives
