Growing Pains of Mexican Labor.

On the evening of May 1, 1937, international day of labor solidarity, the Federation of Mexican-Workers (C.T.M) was split wide open. Three members of the executive committee walked out of the sessions of its fourth National Council charging that the council was illegally constituted, that bona fide delegates had been refused seats, and that Vicente Lombardo Toledano, general secretary of the C.T.M., was attempting to set up a dictatorship over the federation. After two years of triumphant advance in organization and political power, the united front is seriously threatened, and bitter charges and accusations are being exchanged by the leaders of the C. T. M. and the Communist Party, which is heading the revolt of the dissident organizations.
