JAP LABOR OPPOSES NEW
:. SCHEME FOR ORGANIZING
TRADE UNIONS In JAPAN
lBy Associated Press,l

Toxic, Aug. 19.-Japanese labor is
expressing opposition to a proposed
measure authorizing labor unions
which the government says will be
introduced in the Diet.
At present labor unions as known
in other countries are not permitted
by law.
Representative of different labor
associations in Toxic have adopted a
resolution declaring that the bill, as
they interpret it, is so framed as to
Illustrate the real development of la
Der. The memorial adds that the
law that would really satisfy the
workers and that is really in great
need must recognize the right of ne
sotiating in a body and the right of
going on a strike whenever occasion
requires.
The government bill in question
completely ignored these rights and
according to the memorial was there
fore calculated to encourage com
plication Of the labor problems.
