Besides supporting President Carranza, the CROM was a key base of support for two of his successors, Álvaro Obregón and Plutarco Elías Calles . The political vehicle of the federation was the Partido Laboral . However, Calles' successor, Emilio Portes Gil , began removing CROM officials from government positions. Vicente Lombardo Toledano , a dissident in the CROM, organized a faction called "Purified CROM" that left the federation in 1932. The Purified CROM became the Confederation Of Mexican Workers (CTM) in 1936, allying with the Populist President Lázaro Cárdenas and the ruling Party Of The Mexican Revolution .
