The council threatens political ac-

power in Pennsylvania. Its statement
is, in full, as follows:
The executive council Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at its ses-
sion Sept 9th, unanimously voted to
consider ways and means by which
assistance can be given the United

JAPAN'S RULERS
TROUBLED BY new
MANCHURIAN RIOT

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Sept. 12.-
Intense hatred of the Japanese mill
tarists is growing in this section of
Asia, so long under the domination
of Japanese governors, headed by
Chang Tso-lin himself.
Yesterday another violent outbreak
took place when a Japanese police
man attached to the consulate here
tried to remove an anti-Japanese pos
ter stuck on the walls. He was in
stantly knocked down by rush from
all the Chinese within sight.
Chang Tso-lin has been several
times recently reported as involved
in a quarrel with his protectors, the
Japanese government, probably over
money matters. He is reported as
having insisted that Bolshevism can
not be exterminated from China with
out more and heavier subsidies than
heavily taxed Japan is willing to
give, and threatens that unless he
does get money in large quantities
and soon he may even turn Nation
alist.

START OFFENSIVE
TO DEFEAT RIGHT
WING OF |. |. G. W,
Fur Unity Committee
Discusses Problems

The Cloak and Dressmakers' Joint
Board, in it's new offensive to end
the present chaos in the industry, has
started to put into effect the deci-
sions of the mass meeting held at
Madison Square Garden last Satur-
day.
The most important decision at
tnat demonstration was that the
Joint Board should form a closer con-
tact with the rank and file in the
shops To this end the Joint Board
yesterday issued call to the work
ers in all cloak and dress shops to
elect shop committees. The task of
the shop committees will be two-fold;
first to see what can be done about
improving conditions in the shops;
and second to make an end tt the
chaos in the union.
AS the situation is now, the worker
is absolutely defenseless. He has no
body to take up his grievances.
Those registered cloak and dressmak-
ers who have tried to bring their
complaints to the Sigman clique,
quickly became convinced that it is
useless. 1t is impossible to get any
thing from a bosses union by COM
planning against the bosses. The
Joint Board, together with the shop
committees, will devise means to put
an end to this situation. This is the
only way left to the workers.
Against Sigman Gangsters.
With the shop committees, the
Joint Board will also take steps to
carry on still more energetic drive
against the guerillas which Sigman is
sending down to the shops. The COM
mittees will strengthen the picket
lines, declare and conduct strikes for
union conditions, and in such ways
build up the union.
The Joint Board calls upon the
workers Of each shop to elect such a
committee and have it's members i'm
mediately get in touch with the Joint
Board office at 16 West 21st street.
In those shops where block commit
tees now exist, these committees can
take the place of shop committees if
the workers so decide.

NEWARK, Sept. 12.-The fur rab-
bit workers who are conducting a
campaign to organize the open shops,
plan to start mass picketing soon.
They also expect to sign up one of
the open shops within a short time.
AT meeting of the union mem
bers who stopped work lat week to
organize the scab shops, held at Mont
gomery Hall, H. Begoon, secretary of
the International Fur Workers Union
spoke. His remarks were based on
the principle of peace in the union.
He said that he did not come to dis
cuss the suspensions and expulsions
that have taken place in the organi-
zation. Morris LANCER, business agent
of the Newark local also spoke.
The stoppage is being conducted
jointly by Local %, of Newark, that
has jurisdiction of all rabbit shops
in New Jersey and Local So of Brook
lyn. The former is left wing local,
the latter a supporter of the right
wing International administration.

Precise figures on the increased
