ALIENSMUGELING BAN PROPOSED, Co-operation of Amerit':anv and Mexican Labor Fed-- | erations Sought. | Br the Associated Press. DETROIT, October 14.—A. proposal advocating Jjoint action between the Mexican and American Federations of Labor in curbing immigration smug- sling along tHe international bound- ary opened the way for discussion of Mexican relations in the American la- bor convention today. Representatjves of the California Federation of Labor were sponsors of the resolution, which directed the ex- ecutive council to appoint commis- sloners to negotiate directly with _—Mexican labor leaders in an .attempt 1o provide border regulations through 2 nebulous form of ‘gentlemen’s agreement” without reference of the problem to the governmental author- ities of either nation.

Speeial Diepaten to The Star. DETROIT, Mich., October 14.— Controversy over the opposing prin- ciples of the “open shop” and trade unfonism has at least served to de- fine more accurately the differences between the groups advocating the two methods. As has been pointed out in the con- vention of the American Federation of Labor ‘here, industry must choose between co-operation through asso- clation of functional groups or con- trol from the top. Many employers have accepted the co-operation meth. od, and a greater number, perhaps, cling to the latter. The problem, however, is no longer complex. Employe stock ownership, bonus systems and insurance plans have been offered as methods of ameliora- tion of the worker's lot by employers opposed to the principle of unionism. It would be unfair to assert that all |? employers who have offered such plans for the security of their em- ployes were actuated by selfish mo- tives. Many are convinced that their workers will be more comfortable and secure under paternal control than under trade unionism. Labor Economist's Argument. In many instances these employers are unselfishly sincere. They, per- sonally, intend to share honestly with employes the profits of their business. But in the nature of things they can- | not answer for the acts of thelr com- petitors or their successors. That\is the argument of the thoughtful labor economist.

Human nature is frail and organized labor heljeves that for any class to leave itself at the mercy of another is folly. ‘When Sir Thomas Browne in 1646 expressed disbellef in that mythical bird, Phoenix, which fable related self, Alexander Ross replied to the objection that phoenix so seldom made his_appearance. “His instinct teaches him to keep out of the way of the tyrant of cre- |ation, man, for if he were to be got | € |at, some wealthy glutton would surely | success of the regular appeal. devour him, though there were no more of his kind in the world.” That is the appraisal of human na- ture that the convention committee | the on resolutions had in mind when it | con sal THE EVENING BTAR, WASHINGTON, D.
