United Hebrew Trades Hurl
A Challenge at Gompers

The labor Bolshevik of New York
have begun their attack
That was the Interpretation placed
here yesterday in labor circles upon
the rejection by the United Hebrew
Trades of the proposal of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor that it admit
tc membership the United Garment
Workers..
The blow, long preparing under
ground, is said to have for its first OBJ

into state of general confusion and

its coordinated energies will be most
needed.

three years general secretary Of the

one of its most able leaders, will with

AS to the bearing Of this latest up

matter of labor war policy, he was
much more guarded, refusing at first
to make any comment and later, when

This contention, however, was sharply

prevent it1what will amount to an in
ternal labor war. fought along racial
lines: Americanism on the one side
against the aligned ranks of foreign
and immigrant labor on the other.
Ernest Bohm, secretary of the Cen
trail Federated Union, said last night:
"ro call it the rising of the American
Bolsheviki describes 1t perfectly. Many
ct the unions, in fact, that have been
instrumental in putting through this
declslon which defes the American
seat the United Garment Workers,
openly call themselves the Bolshcviki
UNIONS. They are anti-war and anti
patriotic, and have done all in their
power to make trouble right along.
HE retofore, they have worked mostly
IN the dark. Now they have come out
into the open. We welcome the issuance
OF this open challenge, and have no
Tears as to the result"
The original seed of the present row
aaoes back to before 1918, when the
''' + . MA eSN SiOCIllIlP w OrKerS' broke
away from the United Garment Work
ers, the organization body, which re-
malned loyal to the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Ever since there has
been keen rivalry between these two
bodies to gain the backing of the
United Hebrew Trades-a sanction
which carries considerable influence IN
the labor movement. And thus far the
race has been to the Amalgamated.
