' NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Organized Labor4 Defies United! States Government in Mat ter of Injunctions. v I IS READY FOR RIG FIGHT "Bill of Rights" and Legislative De mands Issued ? Harding Completes His Cabinet ? America Pro tests Japanese Rule Over Yap ? Near East Con. ? i ference in London. By, EDWARD W. PICKARD. Organized labor of America has thrown down before its "enemies" the J gauntlet of chuilenge to :i tight 10 u | finish.' The United States govern ment ?* apparently ineluded utuong those "enemies" aud is boldly defied to enforce judicial injunctions in In dustrial disputes. Under the leadership of Bamuel Oompers the representative^ of the national and international unions af filiated with lite American Federation of I^t hor met last week in Washing ton and formulated their "bill of rights" and their demands on the gov ernment and the people. * In these there Is much, besides the Injunction" matter, hut that is perhaps the most important. A statement prtfj^eetf/.'by .Mr. Compels was issued In which the i injunction as now used is denounced j h8 unconstitutional and a pure usur I pat Ion of power and authority. The ; only remedy In the hands of the I workers, continues the statement, "lies i la 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 have a lawful and guaranteed right to do or which seek to compel workers t? ' do those things which they have a lawful and guaranteed right to refuse to <ln. "This Is the only immediate course through which labor can find relief, nnd this course It purposes to pursue. Labor realizes fully the consequences of such a course, but in the defense of Anic;*icun freedom and of Amer ican institutions it is compelled to adopt this course, be the consequences what they may." Of course if this threat I* carried our the result will be the nrrest of great numbers of working men for violations of injuuet ions ; and. presum ing thiii the courts and government (in nnr yield- :fnd that union labor brings into action nil its resources, something little short of a stale of rebellion will follow. T'nlon Is I tor thinks i ha t its very existence as such Is threntened by present tendencies nnd conditions. other citizens must see tliiit the threat is directed against tlie peace of the nation and all that that Involves. Nor will the informed nnd thinking American accept as the truth the statement of flompers, tlmt only the federation o f I.abor is sav ing the country from Bolshevism. The Hods have done and can dr> much mis chief in America, but there Is* no real danger of their gaining control here or upsetting our government.

The only real surprise among the ap pointment* was that of Edwin Denby of Michigan to be secretary of the navy. Not that he is not well equipped to till the position, but be was barely mentioned in advance. The selec tion of Mr. Hoover for the portfolio of commerce was gratifying to the^ public, and that of Mr. Davis for s?*c 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. Rut many persons are hoping that Mr. Harding will i>er amide ('harlcs Dawes of Chicago to accept the chairmanship of the com' mission he will name to reorganize the executive machinery of tie* gov ernment. This position, Mr. Harding holds, will be almost If not quite as Important a* a place In the cabinet. The two great agencies of the allien ? the supreme council and the council of the League of Nations ? began ses sions last week, the former in London and the latter in Paris. The league council first took up the matter of amendments to the covenant, ami, be cause the attitude of the incoming ad ministration in America was in doubt, the question was 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 mandates were brought up for consideration. arid again the United States, though not officially represented, made its influence felt. Ambassador Wallace sen? word that our State department wished to pre sent its views, and action was halted until the note from Washington ar rived. This note, in substance, called attention to the fact that the United States has never given Its consent that the I s I m nd of Yap bj* Included In the territories subjected to the man date of Is ,'>jj ii p. nd declare* tfc#> gov ernment <annot regard | t I f as bound b.v I tic terms ?>f that mandate.

Turkish delegations representing Imjh the ( 'oiislantinople him! the 'Aurora governments were present and the first pari of (lie week was wasted in their efforts to get to get her and present a detailed state* iimmi l of their desires. They finally agreed oti demands that Thraee, Smyr ?na Mini 'the Dardanelles he restored to Turkey, and objections to the polit ical. eemioinle and financial eontrol exercised hy the allies. However, Itcehad I'asha speaking for both groups. assured t lie conferees that hoi h section* would aeeept ihe de rision of the allies. The demand that the custody of the I Dardanelles he re Kilned again 10 the Turks caused niueh surprise and unfavorable coin nieni. even among the French dele gates, who have been fk*nerully on the side of Turkey In the present contro versy. The <?reeks remain uncompro mising in their demand that the. treaty of Sevres stand virtually unaltered, and ii was considered possible the ureal powers might permit them to try to hold their positions In Turkey, though without assistance from the allies. According to advices from Constan tiuople, the Bolshevists In the Cau casus region have begun warfare against the republic of Ceorgla and already have occupied considerable territory. First dispatches said the Hods, under command of Budemiy. had captured Titlis, the capital, but Inter If was reported they had been driven back from the elty by the hastily gathered Ceorgian trooi>s. There Is little doubt of the ability of the Bolshevists to overrun Georgia and reach Kifceruni. there establishing contaet with the forcea. of Mustapha Kemal I'asha. - Another Hed drive took place In Persia and resulted In the capture of Teheran, the capital, and of t tie shah himself. This exploit was carried out by several thousands of Persian o* ? sacks under Heza Khan, who landed rtn the south shore of the Oasplan sea ami marched to Kasblu and thence to ^ Teheran. Notwithstanding these uiovenieigd In the east, the Kr<>Ht hulk of the Russian Bolshevist army is on the west border preparing for the big spring drive there. From (Jerman news sources comes tiie Information that Montenegro, which Iihs never ceased to protest against the loss of her Identity In the formation of the new Jugoslavian state, has declared a holy war against Serbia. The message said two Serbian regiments had occupied Cetinje. th? Montenegrin capital, and that the situ ation was considered serious. While I lit* "war" in Ireland was be ing carried on with renewed vigor by both sides, fhe house of commons last week engaged in long and exciting de bates on the Irish question. At one time, in rejecting an opposition amend ment by a vote of 2.r>7 to KM the house placed Its seal of approval on the gov ernment's Irish policy. Lord Itobert Cecil made bis debut as whip of the opposition party In an effective speech in which he demanded that a parliamentary commission make an impartial investigation of lie* alleged atrocities In Ireland. Sir Ifamaf Creenwood warned the house that thrt conspiracy of the Sinn Fein was now directed against Knglnnd ; and he told of a captured document which showed an approprisf Ion of ?30,(KMi h month for the "republican arro.x " most of which money, hr asserted. came from Irish- Americans. Justice Cohalan of the Supreme court of New York, one of the most obnoxious of the antl-Kngll'li Irish men in this country, made himself more ridiculous than usual last week by voicing, lu a public address the opinion that the TTnlted State* should demand of fireat Britain that she make f'aiiftda free and forever remove fhe British flag from this continent.
