SHANGHAI, Feb. 1.-THE much
advertised southern advance of Chang
Tso-Lin's hordes so far has failed to
cause CONSERVATION among the Can
tonese armies that are battling with
the forces of Sun Chuan-Fang around
Hankchow where the fate of Shanghai
is being determined.
The refusal of Wu-Pei-Fu to COOP
crate with Chang and the danger of
an attack by the disciplined and we'll
armed thousands of General Feng has
taken the starch out of the Manchur-
ian bandit general.
WI and Chang at Outs.
General Feng is leading his troops
into the fray on the side of the Can

Tso-Lin not to permit any of his
troops to enter Wu's territory. Chang
boastfully threatened to go ahead WI
or no WI, though even man as brave
as Chang may think twice before get
ting entangled between WI and Feng.
Should Chang be held up by WI
and knocked down by Feng, the Can
tonese are not expected to have much
trouble in blotting Suns troops off
the political landscape. Then the

BOARD WINS in
THREE HUNDRED
GARMENT SHOPS
Sigman's Agents Are
Not Recognized

The attempt of Isidore Agree, gen.
eral manager of the Association of
Dress Manufacturers, Inc, to mini
mize strikes called in the dress shops
by the Joint Board during the past
week, as intended to Confuse the is
sue and fool his own membership"
according to statement issued late
Friday by G. S. Zimmerman, manager
of the dress division of the Joint
Board.
Get Most of Shops.
He explained that 500 shops have
oeen visited by business agents of the
Joint Board during the past week,
and that only 10 have refused to re-
cognize them as the proper represen-
tatives of the workers. Of the 10
strikes called in these shops, four
nave settled with the Joint Board, he
said. He declared that the business
agents would enforce the terms of the
old agreement, which are much more
favorable to the union than the new
agreement, signed by Sigman, which
was never authorized by the mem
oership or submitted for ratification"
Fake Agents.
Mr.. Zimmerman's statement is as
follows:
"The manager of the Association of
Dress Manufacturers, MIR. Agree, is
trying to confuse the issue and fool
ais membership when he states that
the business agents of the Joint
BOARD have been entering shops I'M
der the false pretences of being re-
representatives. from the international.
Our officers have specifically
stated that they were the represen-
catives of the Joint Board and not
Vi the International, and that is why
they have been admitted and have
been received by the workers with
open arms. The business agents of
me International have been driven
from the shops in many cases. May
De they are the ones who are enter
ing the shops under the false pre-
fences of representing the Joint
Board.
To Enforce Terms.
"The strikes we are calling are by
no means political strikes. They are
purely economic strikes to enforce the
terms OF the old agreement, since the
agreement signed by the Information
al is illegal. The International never
was authorized to sign it, and it was
never submitted Tor ratification by
the membership.
Only Ten Refuse.
"Out of the sou shops visited by
the business agents this week, only
10 have refused to admit them and
recognize the old agreement. These
10 shops were declared on strike, and
four Of them have settled, agreeing to
recognize the Joint Board and admit
the business agents Of the Joint
Board to the shops.

standards and conditions of the old
agreement in the shops. The workers

side the jurisdiction of the New York
Joint Board.
Brotherhood About Ended.
This is deliberate defiance of the
constitution of the union; it is a de-
liberate attempt to Illustrate the Joint
Boards plans which had been nearly
completed for the dissolution of this
Brotherhood" and the induction of
its members into the existing locals of
New York. Consideration would then
have been given to the question of a
Greek local for all workers in the
locals affiliated with the Joint Board.
This Greek Brotherhood is a COM
pany union formed by the Greek
manufacturers at the close of the fur
strike. 1t is composed largely of
workers who scabbed during the
strike and who feared to return to
the union because of the heavy fines
they would receive. 1t was organized
by the contractors because they had
refused to sign the agreement with
the union and wanted to evade main
tanning union conditions in their
shops.
Small Concern.
The Brotherhood numbers only 300
members, while there are 1900 Greek
fur workers in locals of Joint Board,
and now working in other than Greek
shops because these shops are still on
strike. The Greek manufacturers
have refused to settle with the union
because they want to be granted a
separate Impartial Chairman for their
association, and this the union will not
agree to.
Secret Obstacle.
The New York Joint Board, after
weeks of discussion, had succeeded in
getting the Brotherhood to promise to
disband and have its members in
dividually join the union. On the eve
of the settlement of this problem,
there came a hit for some unknown
reason; and then it was learned that
the international officials had secret
ly offered to give these members of
the company uri n a separate Greek
local, with a charter direct from the
International, if they broke off their
conversations with the Joint Board.
Catch Frayne Lying.
Yesterdays conference between In
ternational, A. F. of L. and Brother
hood representatives was still discuss
ing this matter at late hour. That
this whole thing was far from an
honorable proceeding is evident from
the fact that when a representative
of Women's Wear, a daily newspaper,
asked Mr.. Frayne about this confer
ence he said he knew nothing about
such a conference and that whoever
told the reporter it was to take place
had lied.
Mr.. Frayne's own lie was discov-
cred when the reporter found him at
the conference not fifteen minutes
later.
The New York Joint Board has al
ready on several occasions protested
the Internationals attempt to deal
with this Greek company over the
heads of the Joint Board, and this
protest is again stated in the follow
