HE WESTERN ALLIES
WILL RELIEVE STRESS
E 'GENERAL STRIKE OF
UN WORKERS
F
New York, Aug. 2. The climax of
the deadlock between tin.niio workers
on women's garments and the manu
facturers was near today with the
final balloting 011 the question of dele
gating to labor leaders the power to
call a general strike tomorrow if ex
pedient. Twenty thousand workers, it was
estimated, were voting today, the oth
er forty thousand having cast their
votes yesterday ami Saturday. Most
of tlie workers are women and girls.
Negotiations between the workers
and manufacturers, have dragged on
for more than three weeks, the med
ium for adjustment being Mayor
Mitcbel's council of conciliation. A
week ngo a settlement appeared to be
in sight. The manufacturers took ex
ception to a puhltHhod statement at
tributed to labor leaders, saying the
workers had won a victory on the
question of an employer's right to dis
charge a workman, and another crisis
was precipitated.
Dr. Felix Adler, chairman of the
council, called a meeting of his asso
ciates for today. The original de
mands of the workers were chiefly
for a restoration of a previous wage
scale and sanitary conditions in the
ship.
It was said that the votes of the
workers would be counted tonight.
The result probably will not be known
until tomorrow.
SOLUTION OF JAPANESE
CRISIS NOT IN SIGHT
Tokio, Aug. 2. A solution of the
cabinet crisis is not yet In sight. The
situation has been complieateed by
the opposition of the elder statesmen
to Takaakl Kate, foreign minister,
whose handling of the Chinese ques
tion they have criticised. On the oth
er hand repuresentative Japanese not
connected with politics urge the con
tinuance in power of the okuma cabi
net. This party, under t lie leadership of
Karon Shibusaka. chairman of the To
kio Hanking association, ami Iiuei
Nakano, president of the Tokio cham
ber of commerce, seeks to convince
the elder statesmen that a cabinet
change Is not desirable in war times
when state affairs of paramount Im
portance remain unsettled. The asser
tion is made that great difficulty will
be experienced in forming a new min
istry able to cope with the crisis.
The opposition charges that the
Okuma cabinet came into office thru
the misuse of funds and irregularities
in the election. Since the charge was
made by the cider statesmen that the
Kato policies had placed Japan in a
position of Isolation the cabinet bus
been pushing a program of appronch
ment with China, Kato himself defend
ing bis position in a series of public
addresses.
The creation of a coalition ministry
similar to that of Great Britain lias
been suggested.
