LIE oNoW-TtE UPTON ARMY PASSES THE REVIEWING
Hebrew Trades
To Defy Ruling
OF Federation

Evidences of the fight which Sam
ucl Compers predicted might split the
labor movement if the United Hebrew
Trades persisted in its discrimination
against unions affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor devel-
oped yesterday when, ct q secret con-
ference held in an East Broadway
office building, representatives of vari-
GUS organizations agreed to defy the
order Of the federation and withdraw
from the United Hebrew Trades and
trust to the next convention Of the
federation rcpudiating the action Of
its executive council.
This convention will be held in ST.
Paul in June, when, as now planned
by the radicals of the East Side, de-
termined .ight will be made on Corr
pers and his policies. To make the
fight successfu an effort Will in the
meantime be made to unite all the ele-
ments opposed to Mr.. Gompcra in the
past and particularly 20 his support
OF the nations war programme. With
the United Hebrews affair as test
case, Gompers and his associates have
learned that the pacifsts and pro-
German elements hope to score a sub
stantial victory.
Many Trades Included
At yesterdays conference we're rep
resentatives of tho international La
dies Garment Workers Union, the
largest Of the needle trade organiza-
tions, cap makers, furriers and some
of the metal, food handling and build
ing trades. OF these only the repre-
sentatives OF the garment workers
could pledge their organization. these
having the declaration of Benjamin
Schlessinger, international president,
right Of the Federation to say what its
locals shall or shall not do.
Mr.. Gompers had 40 comment to
make yesterday on the position taken
by Mr.. Schlessinger or its probable
consequences. Men close to him. how
ever, stated that Schlessinger's action
had been anticipated, and that the
vote of the executive council making
effective the order of the recent con-
vention of the Federation in Buffalo
was taken with the full knowledge Of
tho probable consequences.
May Bar Offenders
So far as immediate action by the
federation to enforce its ruling is CON
cerned, the advantage is with the or
gan!zations which elect to stand by the
United Hebrew Trades, for nothing can
be done until the June convention. Al
the convention the entire question is
likely to come up at the first session,
when the right OF organizations refus-
ing to obey orders to seats in the CON
vention will probably be questioned
Such challenge, if upheld, as SINH
lar challenges have been in the past
will have the effect OF leaving Of
Tending organizations N the position
Of holding membership, yet barred
from participation in labor's supreme
council.
Whether or not this would be fol
lowed by an effort to cancel the chartcr
OF the offending organization would
depend, leaders Of the movement said
yesterday. on the temper Of the CON
vcntion.
The only thing that is certain said
one of these leaders, ~ that any or
ganization which insists on defyine
trade union rules will sooner or later
md itself out of the movement"
