answered. Political correspondents predict
that Asquith will be back Mt the head of
the government in a few days.

Clothing Strike to Involve 100000
Jewish Workers.

The long series of disagreements
between manufacturers and union in
the cloak and suit industry in New
York was brought to a crisis Thurs
day by the complete refusal of the
manufacturers to further mediation
and subsequent lockout of 10000
employees in over 400 shops.
On Thursday night, Mr.. Jacob H.
Schif, hopeful that a general strike
might still be averted, called a peace
meeting of the manufacturers asso-
citation, but not more than 20 mem
bers attended,
In a statement issued to the pub
lie the association asserts that the
lockout is a renewal of the old con-
troversy over the closed shop con-
tended for by the union and the open
shop principle which the employers
believe is essential to the welfare of
their business.
1t was decided under the protocol
of 1910 that the manufacturers
should give preference to union men
when hiring employees. The exact
Interpretation of that clause has been
always a bone of contention, the
manufacturers holding that this did
not mean that they must discrimin-

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

effort the territory that rightfully is
our own"
In the course of her talk, Miss An
tin laid particular stress on that
something about the Jew which
made him PECULIARLY DIFF
FERENT from other people; this
point seems important and still it is
the point that great many opposed
to Zionism refuse to grasp, for they
argue that the Jews are merely a re-
ligious sect, and it follows naturally
that there need be no particular dis
tinguishing feature about the people
practicing the religion. But as Miss
-Antin time and again insisted, the
Jewish World Sroensen
Jew is peculiarly different; he is
stamped out by the rest of the world
as a DISTINCT PEOPLE, and as
such he has the same right to insist
upon keeping himself alive as peo7
pie or a nation, as everyone of the
nations now at war are striving to
sustain themselves.
Miss Antin made an analogy Of
the case Of the Jew to that of sick
man. The sick man will try every
thing to get rid of his trouble. The
Jew has tried everything already but
he still continues to suffer here, there
and everywhere, because he is a Jew.
We are still i'll. Possibly Zionism,
which is the only thing left to pre-
scribe, will help. And with an i'm
passioned appeal, Miss Antin closed
her talk, asking that we try this last
remed y-Zionism.

MARY ANTIN AND WHAT
SHE HAS TO SAY ON
ZIONISM.
By Jesse B. Calmenson.

hundred and fifty people, Miss Mary
Antin, author of "The Promised
Land" and other books, in a talk
which could only have emanated
from true inner feeling, gave her
views on Zionism, last Sunday eve
ming, May 9TH, at the Oddfellows'
Hall, St. Paul. Miss Antin has been
on the road for the past four months
talking under the auspices of the
AUGMENTATION League, filling in
such open dates as she has with lee
lures on Zionism, for which she is re-
celvlng no compensation. Miss An
tin IS little woman, rather frail in
stature, having come to this country
from the Pale Of Russia about fifteen
years ago, in which time she has
mastered the English language, and
made name for herself as one of
the most interesting public lecturers
and authors Of the day. From the
moment Miss Antin appears on the
platform, until she has her last word,
her audience is impressed with her
strength and forcefullness. During
the course of her talk last Sunday eve
ming and various interviews with her,
the following are few of the state
ments made by her:
MANY persons have wrong con-
ception of the Zionist movement. 1t
is not movement to dump all the
Jews of the world into Palestine.
"The Zionist movement has for it's
object the establishment in Palestine
of national Jewish center, where
the Jews OF all the world will find a
national welcome.
''It is movement for the revival
of the Jewish language and Jewish
culture The world is now demand
ing democracy of it's peoples and that
is what we hope to obtain in Pales-
tine. We are asking only for ma
tional existence and not for national
power. We seek only what the Poles
are seeking and what the most of the
world is demanding today for the
Belgians.
"The worst of all things is a fam
lily quarrel.
1--WE have common language, a
common hope for cessation of Jewish
sufferings and a time when we may
ming1e with other peoples of the
earth on terms of absolute equality;
we have common ideals and a COM
mon spirit.
1--WE are asking the world for a
common territory. We do not want
it to be given to us. We only ask
that we may buy back with our own

The Position of the Jewish Deputies
in the Duma.

The attitude of the Liberal coali-
ton in the Duma to the interpella
ton of DR.. Bomash regarding the
false accusations against Jews that
are being propagated by government
officials is strongly resented by lead
ing Jews all over Russia The man
ifesto issued by several Jewish lead
ers Of Moscow, demanding of the
Jewish deputies to sever all relations
with the Liberal coalition, has re-
ceived the support of many Jewish
groups and organizations throughout
the Empire. At a meeting Of the
South Russia Relief Committee, re-
Gently held in Poltava, a resolution
was, adopted calling upon the depu-
ties to leave the Liberal coalition and
protesting against the withdrawal of
the Interpolation from the Duma. A
similar resolution was adopted by
the Jewish students body in Saratov
and in other places.
On the other hand, Mr.. Weinstein,
member of the Imperial Council,
an interview published in "Novi
Put a Russian magazine, advised
against such step on the part o.
the Duma deputies. He said that as
little as the Liberals may now wish
to do for the Jews, it is still advis-
able for the Jews to stand by them.
The Jews dare not give up hope,
even at the present time, and their
leader must always be on the alert
and constantly remind the Russian
people of the existence Of a Jewish
problem. He also mentioned that
he is preparing shortly to touch up
on the question at the meeting O:
the Imperial Council.

persons in their employ.
The union took the opposite view
and further insisted that the man en-
ployed must be in good standing
with the union.
When brought before Mayor
Mitchels Council of Cancellation the
issue was decided in favor of the
union and the manufacturers refusal
to accept this ruling ended the nego-
tiations and has precipitated strike
which will no doubt become general,
involving fully 100000 workers.
