While the council’'s program is tentative, it was unofficially learned that the trade unions will be usked to céntinue the fight against the “open shop”. Repeal of the anti- trust laws or special exemption for labor unions from persecution under such laws will also occupy a promi- nent place in the document. n sistance to court injunctions and compulsory arbtration will also be urged, The council will also officially notify the convention of the sever- ance of relations with the Interna- tional Federation of Trades Union Because of the Kuropean organiza- tion’s radical tendencies.

Van Matre, secretary of the industrial division of the Cham- ber of Commerce, issued a statement attacking the closed union shop as a restriction upon “a worker's abil- ity and opportunity by its dead-level standard.” More than a thousand concerns here, Mr. VanMatre de- clared, have declared for the ‘“‘open shop.” “Iet them go ahead.” dent Samuel Gompers, injure the American labor move- ment.

New York. May 6 Police Special Deputy Commissioner Catleton Simon today charged that Japan and Ger- many were waging war for world- wide control of narcotics. Addressing the national police convention, Dr. Simon, in command of the local nar- cotic division, asserted that not only was Japan manufacturing drugs on a vast scale, but some of her mer- chants were importing narcotics from the United States only to smuggle them back into this country and China at large profits. A ton of these drugs was shipped from Seattle to Japan in a single month, he declared. “On the other hand,” said Dr. Si- mon, “we have in Germany the big- gest manufacturers of drugs in the world. These men know that Japan is attempting to obtain control of the narcotic drug situation of the world. In consequence, there is a drug war at present hetween two nations.’ WALSH-FEORE WEDDING.
