'GOMPERS THREATENS
! BARRING OF GERMANS
Teuton Trade Union Delegates
Relax Somewhat From Un-
repentant Attitude
FORM NEW INTERNATIONAL
BY the Associated Press

Amsterdam, July 30.-The work of
the international Trades Union congress
yesterday was hindered by protracted
discussion in committee regarding the
German declaration of tie stand of Ger
man trades unionists during the war.
The Germans generally maintained
an unrepentant attitude until Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, told them plainly
that if it were continued it would be
Impossible for workers of other coun-
tries to retain relations with them in
the future. The German delegates
thereupon somewhat relaxed.
The committee on its return reported
as follows:
That the statement of Herr Sassc-
bach German Socialist be incorporated
in full that the regrets expressed there
in be registered that the German dele
CATION confirm frankly and openly the
spirit of Sassenbach's declaration that
IL the avowal be frank, open and salts
factory, the conference will proceed to
the order of the day; that If unsatisfac-
tory. freedom of action be reserved.
Against all expectations. the con
gress adopted the report without debate,
after Sassenbach in a few words con-
/ firmed the German declaration. Sassen-
bach, who was q member of the com
mittee, refrained from voting. The
other members included W. A. Apple
ton, of England; Samuel Gompers, of
America. and Leon JouhauX, of France.
The congress then proceeded to form
q new internatiouale. The position OF
the various nations in the voting places
the British and Americans in an unfair
situation. They represent together
more than 5000. 900 workers among the
17,000. 900 represented at the Congress
but have only nine votes of the total
of twenty seven which may be cast
on motions.
The main points of the resolution
presented by NJ. SasscnbaCh follow:
The German trades unions always
recognized that Germany acted wrongly
IN Belgium, and always condemned
atrocities committed: German OCcupa =
tion of Belgium and the deportation OF
Belgians was not done with the con
sent of the German workers; the atti-
tude of the German workers at the out :
break and during the war was dictated
by the position of Germany: it was
their conviction that Germany was
fighting a defensive war.
The German workers always had been
oppopants of uor md aru,enepts md

The German workers recognize that

on them by the severe struggle waged by

duced by the government as q substi-
tute for the bill of William G. Adam

son bill gave women the franchise on
the same terms as men. but only at

The government bill does not
change the women's franchise and
does not remove the disqualification
excluding women from the higher
ranks of civil service. 1t contains a
clause emitting peeresses in their own
right to sit in the house of Lords. but
this clause was only included as a

Old God Joss Deposed
in Chinatown Temple
(By Associated Press)


NEW YORK, July % The trans
forming of Chinatown that has been
in progress for a decade has finally
thrust its Americanizing influences
into the Chinese temple in Mott
street with the result that the Joss
and the Nsser idols have been rele'
gated to a dusty closet. For years
the Joss was one of the attractions OF
Chinatown and every we'll conducted
sightseeing party was led before the
idol that occupied a prominent posi-.
ton in the council hall Of the temple
A christian clergyman, the Rev. Lee
To, head of the Chinese association
which now holds sway in the temple,
is responsible for the removal of the
idols which is significant of the pres.
ent day attitude of the Chinese to-
ward the old traditions.
The Chinese association Is regard
ed as the most powerful organization
of Chinese in America. 1t has re
placed the dramatic, though fatal
method of the old tong with system
of mutual help founded on the most
advanced American idea of philan
thropy. In San Francisco is another
similar society taking care of the Chi
nese in the western region.
When two Chinese become involved
in a dispute over land or propert, OF
wives they turn to the authority thai
means most to them and in most case:
that is not the American court, but
the Chinese association. A jury sits
in the council room and with Lee Tt
presiding the arguments are head
and adjudged. The decision of the
council is final.
