MEXICAN CAPITAL AND LABOR WORK TO COMMON END Times Washinoton Bureau. ISii Ne to York Avenue MEXICO CITY, Dec. 17.—While Mexico awaits developments in the latest crisis with the American Government over oil titles, land and labor laws, capital and labor are quietly geting together to a common understanding Inside the republic. Resident capitalists. Including twenty of the largest employers, rep resenting $1,500,U00,000 In wealth and 300,000 employes, have about come to an agreement with the labor committees of Congress now engaged in writing Article 123 of the constitution Into a comprehensive labor code. A committee of these capitalists, headed by Frank Y. McLaughlin, president of the Sun Oil Company and a former La Follette Republican of Wisconsin, lias been meeting with l&borltes for months. McLaughlin has announced that out of 330 articles studied by two committees an agreement has been reached on all but four. The four points on which capital and labor are still In deadlock are: 1. The details of the proposed workmen’s compensation laws. 2. The details as to the extent employes may exercise technical control in the shops. 3. The legality of the passive strike which the employers wish to make illegal. 4. The right demanded by employers to fire workers with sixty days’ notice, with or without cause. It is agreed that the McLaughlin committee and the Senate committeeeshall sit as a permanent peace body until after the September session. The peace committee represents the permanent resident employers. not gambling capital. It includes the Southern Pacific de Mexico, Wella-Fargo, the local light and power company. British Westinghouse and many other big houses. "If we had had n little more of our present spirit six years ago, Mexico would have been a long way on the road to prosperity today.” said McLaughlin. "Foreign capital can make good money in Mexico and still abide by her laws. The only thing needed is tolerance and cooperation. I have no sympathy with the attitude of certain investors. I consider that President Calles has done for Mexlop than any man in its history, not excepting Diaz."
