MEXICAN LABOR BACKS CALLES IN CHURCH WAR Workers 90 Per Cent Strong for Catholic Faith, Convention Shows. A new Mexico 1* In the making. For good or 111, her fortunes and America’s are Inextricably bound together. As labor is one of the greatest influences in Mexico today. The Times has asked Chester M. Wright, formerly English Language Secretary of the Pan-American Federation of Labor, to write a series of articles on the trend of modern Mexico as he sees It. Following Is the second of the series. BY CHESTER M. WRIGHT B Washington, Oct. s.—when 2,800 delegates to a convention of any sort can sit through a week of sessions and fail to introduce or act upon any resolution dealing with what the outside world* believes to be the greatest issue in the Nation, it is at least a matter of speculation as to whether the outside world has beeen informed accurately. I have just seen the Mexican Federation of Labor go through its annual convention, adopting resolutions on perhaps fifty subjects, but without one on the church issue. There was one speech on the church issue, by Vicente Lombardo Toledano, member of the Gruppo Accion, a splendid piece of oratory. He took sharp issue with Moies Saenz, sub-secretary of education, who had said at Williamstown that the Protestant church would be the salvation of Mexico, and his applause was the answer. The significance of this is that the Gruppo Accion is the powerful

group that gives the Mexican Federation of Labor its intellectual leadership and that stands the brunt of attacks. This means it supports the government in its policy toward the church. I report these facts merely to show that there must be something to this question that has “got by” many Americans. The Gruppo Accion is 90 per cent Catholic. The 2,800. delegates were 90 per cent Catholic. The 3,000,000 members are more than 90 percent Catholic. When such a convention can pass unitedly through a crisis such as the church crisis in Mexico and remain unshaken, it registers a fact of tremendous importance. It must be borne in mind that the Mexican Federation of Labor is a national movement. Since the old Cientiflcos —the party that supported Porfirio Diaz—passed from the scene, there has been no movement of truly national character. Union Stands Firm A .religious issue is not an easy one with which to deal. But there are obvious facts that cannot hurt anything except prejudices. Paramount among these facts is that the Mexican Federation of Labor, workers in factories and field, include peons and canipesinos, is not shaken by this great struggle. If the Nation were in reality torn asunder, this movement could not have escaped, because its members are the ones who fill the churches. They go to the churches even now, when there are no priests. In one church, during the noon recess of the convention, fully seventy-five delegates were found. One bright young working woman may have thrown some light on the subject. “We girls gather in a stockroom to say the rosary,” she said. “Every day we pray for the priests. We want our cures back. We do not want to lose them. We want the cures back, but we do not want all old ways.” The church question is an issue

in Mexico, but it is not the kind of issue in Mexico that it is in the United States. Americans find this difficult to understand, but it is the fact. Americans Cannot Help Except for the great cathedral, most of the churches are open, *as usual. The parishioners go freely to their worship. It is all a tremendously important and tremendously deep and significant phenomenon. Mexicans know that in the end it will be settled, but there are few who think that agitation and demonstration in the United States will help in the least. The fact that a movement of 3,000,000 Mexicans can pass through this crucial time, united, unshaken and unswerving in their support of the government, is something that cannot be overlooked and that indicates a necessity for avoiding hasty conclusions. LA PORTE CHILD FIGHTS OFF RAT BITE FEVER Special Serum Used Against Rare Malady. Bit Times Special LA PORTE, Ind., Oct. s.—Helen Louise Wolcott, 8, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wolcott, is recovering after serious illness due to rat bite fever. - Several days ago the child stooped to pick a flower, not noticing a rat in a trap. The rat bit her on the third finger of the right hand. Despite immediate precautions against poisoning, a high fever developed, which persisted until a special serum obtained from Chicago was used. The attending physician says rat bite fever is a rare disease in the United States, though common in Japan and other Far Eastern countries. He says only two. or three persons of a hundred- bitten by rats would be likely to suffer from the fever.

TEAPOT DOME CASE AGAIN UP ON OCTOBER 17 - • Legal Battle Extending for Five Years Is Neariiig It’s End. BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. s—Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclair go on trial in the District of Columbia Supreme Court on Oct. 17 on charges of conspiracy to defraud the Government in connection with the leasing of the famous Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. After, endless delays, legal quibbles, entanglements, postponements, and maneuverings, this case that aroused the nation nearly five years ago is due to enter the last stage of its long-drawn career. Wasbington Wonders And Washington, casting an eye over the record and cocking an ear toward the reports and rumors that emanate'from various counsel chambers, is wondering If the Government will have any better luck In Its efforts to jail Sinclair than if had in its effort to jail Edwara F. Doheny. The Fall-Sinclair trial will be the third presentation of the Government oil cases before a jury. Fall and Doheny were acquitted of conspiracy charges in connection with the Elk Hills lease, although the Supreme Court shortly afterward made the jury that turned in that verdict look peculiar by cancelling the Elk Hills lease, branding the lease as fraudulent and corrupt and forcing Doheny to pay back to

He was convicted, and his appeal is now pending. " Atlee Pomerene and Owen J. Roberts, special Government counsel who are handling the oil cases, are making no predictionsThe jury in this trial will be like the jury In the Fall-Doheny case in that it will not have the Supreme Court decision to guide it. The Supreme Court ruling on the Teapot Dome lease, which the Circuit Court of Appeals cancelled as tainted by fraud, will not be handed down until after the criminal proceedings are over.

TITLED CLERKS TOILINLONDON Society Pads Out Its Income Depleted by War. LONDON, Oct. s.—Few American flapper tourists realize that In flapping around the exclusive Bond Street shops there is a pretty good chance that one or more of the “male or female” clerks they unceremoniously ordered about may have been the son or daughter of a peer. _ For London society of ancient lineage' but depleted purse has undertaken anew way of padding out a pre-war income to meet post-war expenses. Some time ago society began keeping shops of its own. Some paid expenses; some didn’t. The proprietors of those that didn’t pay now have worked out a scheme of getting posts on salary and commission basis in some of the more successful shops. And managers have found It pays to pick society lights for their counterjumpers, for they bring new business into the shops, and mostly It is

Their basic pay amounts usually to only $lO a week, but they get commissions on all new business they bring Into the shops, so that some of the society set make a gjoc thing out of their newly found Jobs.
