Creation of Mexican Labor Party Delayed Amid Labor Conflicts
Mexico City June 20 AP conflicts provoked by attempts to enforce labor rights against capital have stalled the move to form the National Laborite party. Luis Morones says the party aims to intervene in Mexican politics to safeguard revolutions of the last 15 years. The split with the Agrarians, strikes, and government actions dampen the Labor Agrarian movement and hinder advancement of a national labor party. The situation affects foreign relations and regional labor influence, with the president avoiding intervention in internal disputes. Excelsior notes the president rejects Bolshevik influence amid Moscow recognition.
