within two weeks" said an American
in close touch with the Philippine
leaders today. The walkout of the
Filipino employees of the English

the latter's opposition to the imme-

owner Of cigar factories is, one of. the
largest employers of skilled Filipino

The strikers declare that they have
no grievance or any knowledge about
wages or working conditions, but that
they are simply obeying the orders of
their leaders. Their plans contem-
plate the closing of the business of
every employer member of the Amer

having interests In the islands. - ;
Aside from some sabotage and in

per plants no other acts of violence
have occurred. The situation, how
ever, is tense and trouble is antici-
pated when the increasing number of
strikers appear on the street and un-

anti-American movement through
Quezon, there is nothing to prove the
truth of the report.
