Demand laaued Harding CompleUa Hla Cabjnat America Pro- testa Japanese Role Over Yap Near Cast Con--' ferenca In London. ; Byj EDWARD W. PlCKARD. Organized labor of America baa thrown down before Its "enemies" the gauntlet of challenge to a fight to a The United State govern- finish. ment la , apparently Included among those "enemies" and (a boldly defied to enforce Judicial Injunctions In Industrial disputes. ; Under the leaderslilp of Samuel Oompera the representatives of the national and International unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor net last week In Washington and formulated their "bill of rights" and their demand on the go In , these eminent and the people. there Is much besides the Injunction the most . flatter, but that Is perhaps Important. "A statement prepared by Mr. Qompers was Issued tn which the Injunction at now used Is denounced ' as unconstitutional and a pur usurpation of power and authority. The only remedy in the hands of the workers, continues the statement, "lies . In a flat refusal on the part of labor to recognize or abide by the terms of injunctions which seek to prohibit the doing of acts which the workers hate lawful and guaranteed right to do . or which Seek to compel workers to do those things which they hare a lawful and guaranteed right to refuse to, do. ' "This Is the only Immediate course .' through whlcjijabor. can find relief, and tlila course it purposes to pursue. Labor realizes fully the "consequences of such a course, but in the defense ....of American freedom and of American Institutions it Is compelled to adopt this course, be the consequences what they may." Of course If this threat Is carried .out. the result will be the arrest of great numbers of working men for rloiatlona of injunctions? and, presum Ing that tbe courts and government do not yield and that union labor brings Into action all Its resources. something IKtle short of a state of rebellion - will follow;- -. Union - labor , thinks that Its very existence as such Is threatened by present tendencies and conditions. Other cltlns must see that the threat Is directed against the peace of; the nation and all that rite Informed that Involves;-- " Nor-vrtl- l and thinking American accept as the truth the statement of Oompera, that only the Federation of Labor la sav Ing the country from Bolshevism. Tbe Reds have done and ran do much mischief In America, but there Is no real danger of their gaining control here or upsetting our government. Public support and ' recognition Is asked by the labor leaders for these propositions, comprising their "bill of V -- , rights"; Tiie right of the working people to organize Info trade unions for the protection of their rights and Inter ests. r;;" ple- V "Repeal by tbe states of all Indus-- " trial court laws and all restrictive and coercive laws.

President-elec- t Harding's announce ment of his completed cabinet nay not have aroused any loud cheers of enthusiasm, but It was received with quiet satisfaction and, confidence by large part of the public Though the list of ten names does not Include those of many men of towering emi nence. It Is felt tty most Republicans, at least, that all the members of the new cabinet are men with Ideas and opinions and that they will be actually the advisers of the chief executive. Tbe only real surprise among the ap pointments was that of Edwin Denby of Michigan to be secretary of tbe navy. Not that he Is not well equipped to fill the position, but he was barely mentioned In advance. The selection of Mr. Hoover for the portfolio of commerce waa gratifying to the public, and that of Mr. Davis for sec retary of labor pleased most of the organized labor forces of the country, though he is no longer directly con nected with their activities. Frank Lowden, having declined ap pointment, Illinois received no place in the cabinet But many persons are hoping that Mr. Harding will per suade Charles Dawes of Chicago to accept tbe chairmanship of the com mission he will name to reorganize the executive machinery of the gov eminent. This position, Mr. Harding holds, will be almost if not quite aa Important as a place in .the cabinet. The two great agencies of the allies the supreme council and the council of the League of Nations began sessions last week, the former In London atid" the" latteritf'Tarlar The'league council first took up the matter of amendments to the covenant, land, be cause the attitude of the incoming ad ministration In America was In doubt, the question waa referred to a com mittee which will not report before April. This gives Mr, Harding time to define his position on the league. Then the mandatea were brought up for consideration, and again the United States, though not officially represented, made Its influence felt Ambassador Wallace sent word that our State department wished to present Its views, and action was halted until the note from Washington arrived. This note, in aubstance, called attention, to the fact that the United States has never given Its consent that the Island of Tap be Included In to the man the territories subjected ' date of Japan, and declares the government cannot regard Itself as bound by the terms of that mandate. " meeting . il I . y.tt' t.n.wmnf- of the The conference In London dealt with the problem of the Near East and the possibility of revising . the Sevres treaty. , :. Turkish . delegations representing both the Constantinople and the Angora governments , were present and the first part of the week was wasted in their efforts to get together and present a detailed statement of their desires. They, finally agreed on demands that Thrace, Smyrna and the Dardanelles be restored to Turkey, and objections to the political, economic and financial control exercised by the allies. However, Rechad Pasha, speaking for both groups, assured the conferees that both sections would accept the de-- . clslon of the allies. The demand that the custody of the Dardanelles be re' signed again to tbe Turks caused much surprise and unfavorable com ment, even among the French dele gates, who have been generally 6n the side of Turkey In the present controversy. The Greeks remain uncompromising in their demand that the treaty of Sevres stand virtually unaltered, and It was considered possible the great powers might permit them to try to hold their positions In Turkey, though without assistance, from the allies. :;t T1m rlglit to.and practice of. collective bargaining bf trade unions. through representatives of their own choosing.
