lABORITES MAKING
 OUT THEIR PROGRAM
Will Gut Loose From Interna'
 tiOnal Federation of Trades

Cincinnati. May 6.-The principles and program, which the organized labor forces of the United States will be asked to support and uphold dur ing the next year were being drafted here today by the executive council or the American Federation of Labor.
 This declaration when completed VIII be incorporated in the council s annual report and be presented to the annual convention in June.
 While the councils program is tentative, it was unofficially learned that the trade unions will be asked to continue the fight against the open shop. Repeal of the anti trust laws or special exemption for iaoor unions from persecution under such laws will also occupy promi- nent place in the document. Re- sistance to court injunctions and compulsory arbitration will also be urged
 The council will also officially notify the convention of the sever ancc or relations with the Interna- tional Federation of Trades Union because of the European organiza- tion's radical tendencies.
 Reports showed that more than
 
 ployment in the country and the sit uation is showing no improvement. William Green, secretary of the United Mine Workers of America. said that 150,0oo miners are out of work and that 3o0,00O are working from one to three days a week.
 The executive council was brought under the fire today of the local ad- vocates of the "open shop" move ment. l.. H. Van Matre, secretary of the industrial division of the Cham Der of Commerce. issued a statement attacking the closed union shop as a restriction upon "a workers abil- ity and opportunity by it's dead-level standard" More than a thousand concerns here, MT. EanMatre de- clared, have declared for the "open shop
 Let them go ahead" said Presi- dent Samuel Gompers, they cannot injure the American labor move ment. We have weathered the storms of the past and are not even annoyed by such squalls as these''
 ''They are only fooling them selves said Matthew woll, vice president of the federation. "Em- ployers sooner or later will learn the truth and be glad to cooperate with organized labor"

 A ton of these drugs was shipped from Seattle to Japan in a single month, he declared.
 "On the other hand,' said Dr. Si- mon. we have in Germany the big gest manufacturers of drugs in the world. These men know that Japan is attempting to obtain control of the narcotic drug situation of the world. In consequence. there is a drug war at present between these two nations"
