Egyptian Nationalists Offer Compromise Over British Military Rule CAIRO, June 6.—The fall of the Non-Nationalist Egyptian Cabinet, which depends for existence on the Nationalist majority in parliament, is a serious possibility if the pres- ent “crisis” in the relations be- tween Egypt and Great Britain continues, Since the assassination of the British Sirdar, who was comman- dor-in-chief of the army in Egypt, Great Britain has failed to make another appointment. The Nation- alist forces in Egypt are making a vigorous fight against investing another British official with sim- ilarly high military powers, but are willing to grant him the rank of field marshal, Zaghlul Pasha, leader of the Na- tionalists in the Dgyptian parlia- ment is considered the logical pre- mier, but insistence on his appoint- ment would in all probability lead to an armed conflict with Great Britain. controlled silk mills exploit the Chi- nese workers was clearly illustrated | by the bitter war waged by Shanghai |mill-owners against the extremely mild set of Iabor regulations issued for the Shanghai district by Chiang Kai-shek.

Illinois Labor Got Cold Shoulder, Pres, J. H. Walker Admits CHICAGO, June 6 (FP).—Failure in the Illinois legislature of labor’s notpartisan political policy was ad- mitted before the Chicago Federation of Labor by Pres. John H. Walker, Illinois State Federation of Labor. Walker, who was the Farmer-Labor candidate for governor in 1920, did not advise abandonment of the non-, partisan policy of rewarding labor's ffiends and punishing its enemies in the old parties. Instead he urged | agged energy in pursuing that pol- icy. Walker also deplored the political results of organized labor’s attitude toward the Negro worker. He pointed out that if the labor lobby at Spring- field had been able to line up the four Negro legislators the *woman’s 8-hour bill would have passed the house. But the Negro quartet voted against it because, he said, of the re- workers to equal membership with white werkers. Hg cited the lathers a8 an example.

David MeVey of the lathers took up Walker on the other point and made a spirited attack on the of- ficial labor policy of supporting cap- italist party friends in the hope of getting labor crumbs out of them af- ter they are safely in office.
