.Laborites Face
Crisis in Party
Generalization
Revolt Against Higher
Prices Is Threatened
By British Unions
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Britaln' S
Labor government faced a political
crisis in it's own ranks today.
Trade unions threatened to revolt
against higher prices resulting
from money devaluation.
Outside Britain echoes of the
slash in the British pounds value
continued to jolt the worlds mar
kets. In all. % nations now have
devalued. Belgium, with a cut of
IL per cent in the Belgian franc,
and Portugal, with a Is per cent
cut in the value of the escudo in
relation to the dollar, were the
latest to join the devaluation
parade.
France proposed to Italy, Hol-
land and Belgium that the four
countries act together to ease
trade barriers and make their
currencies freely interchangeable.
Cripps' Assurances Asked.
The threat Of a British political
crisis was raised by the general
council of the Trades Union Con-
gress. whose 5000, 900 members are
the backbone of the ruling Labor
Party.
The TUG council-instead of
indorsing government policy as
it has in the past-decided last
night it could not pass on the
necessity Of devaluation." It called
for assurance from Sir Stafford
Cripps. Britain's economic chief,
that the government would make
every effort to limit price rises
which will be sure to come from
cheaper money.
Observers regarded the TUG
reluctance to take a positive stand
on devaluation> as evidence of a
split in Labor's own ranks.
Congress leaders so far have
backed the governments wage
freeze policy against heavy pres
sure from their rank and file
members who have been demand
ing higher wages. Trades union
lists expect the cheaper money to
result in a rise in the cost of liv-
ing of at least per cent in the
next six or eight months.
Labor Leaders on Spot.
Now the TUG leaders are on the
spot. Will they support the gov
ernment in denying wage increases
and run the risk of being tossed
out of Office by their own union
members? Or will they finally go
along for higher wages?
Cripps has warned that wage
increases will largely nullify the
benefits of devaluation which is
aimed at selling goods at cheaper
prices in the United States?
Many observers felt it was
doubtful the TUG leaders could
hold out against rank-and-file
pressure much longer.
Prime Minister Attlee summoned
his cabinet ministers to a meeting
tomorrow to discuss the political
crisis that has been piled on top
of his governments economic
crisis.
Concrete evidence of union dis
satisfaction was a "go slow" move
ment scheduled to begin at mid
night tonight by the $4,000 work.
ers on the nationalized railways.
The move was in protest against
government denial of a 50 weekly
wage boost demand.
Labor Split Widening.
Within the ranks of Britain's
transport workers the split was
widening. apparently as a result
OF a new union appeal to end the
showdown.

all things It had the notion that it based eligibility
any of its offerings creed color would
have no proper place among the of the world
Our doors open far all contests concerned
whether in the field of Oraory Athletics other fields
In fact any competitive effort where those who not
members of the Order invited to compete this rule
holds However experience has been that even after
position has been mad clear, to discrimination
we have had any white students contestants Just
why not able to say. We have in mind, however
that Ohio city, in special letter made posi-
ton clear above. The local Lodge without notice to
this office called off the contest We heard afterwards
that called off, because all of the announced
testans were students from white school, Of course
had we known it would not far our powers
would have sustained permitted the Contest to have
been called off for that

EIks Order Is NOn-PrOfit,
Nom Partisan Organization

The Elks, meaning the Improv-
ed. Benevolent and Protective Or
der OF Elks of the World, is
non-profit and non-partisan organ
ization. 1t is a fraternal organiza-
ton with a welfare program. It
is membership organization.
Membership therefore in the Elks
means that your title Is passive
that is you do not have any per-
manent property rights. You own
Elks property as long as you are
a member; when you cease to be
a member you cease to own Elk
property. Elks however are free.
Il does not attempt to interfere
with your politics or religion. You
can be an Elk and be a. Democrat,
Republican, Progressive, Socialist,
Prohibitionist, but not Commun-
list. One requirement of the Elks
is that the American flag belongs
at the head of the parade. After
swearing on your oath as an Elk
that you believe in God the Father
you can accept any religion which
does not deny that there is a God.
THE ELKS ARE FREE. They do
not have to get the go sign from
anyone, save that Of its Grand
Lodge. The Elks pay their officers
or servants a living wage, that
is those whose full time is taken.
The Elk officers are directed to
stand up and be counted, be gen.
tlemen, courteous, but above all
be unafraid of Prince or Pauper.
So the Elks being a patriotic or
ganization with no entangling al
liances, no treasnable officers; and
no unholy continents, takes a
position on any matter, within the
framework of the Constitution Of
the United States. Selah!
