Unions 10 play Big Role
In Mexican Oil Industry

Mexican organized labor will play
a tremendously important part in
administering the $3.50, DOC, 1000 for.
eign-owned oil industry which Pres
Cardenas has nationalized.
Five of the seven members of the
new national petroleum council
which the government has organized
to run the giant oil industry will be
trade union leaders. While this is
the biggest step yet taken by any
government in the Americas toward
workers control over industry, it is
not the first time that Mexico's
young president has turned the man.
agement of industrial concerns over
to shop committees.
Several years ago Cardenas re-
organized the government printing
plant in Mexico City, dismissing its
bureaucratic management and put
ting a labor technical council
elected by the workers - at the
throttle. After one year, workers
management made history by pull
ing the company out of the red. At
the same time wages were raised,
scholarships were given to workers
who wanted to study at night school,
a model clinic and library were
established in the plant and the fac
tory was beautified by a mural exc
cuted by four of Mexico's finest
artists.
Faced by a capital sitdown in
Monterrey two and a half years ago,
Cardenas told employers that if they
wouldn't pay labor the wages it is
entitled to under the Mexican labor
code, they would do we'll to turn
their plants over to the workers or
the state.
After bluntly refusing to pay the
26, 1000, 000-peso wage raise which the
Mexican arbitration tribunal award
ed petroleum labor, the foreign oil
trusts now realize that Cardenas
meant what he said about labor con-
troll of industry.
The five labor representatives who
will sit down and help reorganize
MeXico's mammoth oil industry face
tremendous problems. They must
checkmate the drive of the oil COM
panies to smash the Cardenas regime
economically and thus pave the way
for armed revolt by reactionary
groups.
Already weakened financially by
the collapse of the basic metal prices
last summer, the Mexican treasury
took a blow to the chin when the
corporations cut productions as a
means Of reducing Mexico's tax re-
from petroleum exports. The
second move of the oil companies
was sudden withdrawal of millions
of dollars from Mexican banks, thus
pulling the Mexican gold reserve
down to practically its legal mini
mum and sending peso exchange
webbing.
