this time.
The association committee
agreed only to submit all ques
tions of wages, hoars and work
ing c o n d i t i o n s to arbitration,
Frank H. Chatas, president, reit
erated yesterday.
"It the onion desires to organ
ize our employes it is up to the
union to induce them to join and
pay their dues and fees," said
Chatas. "We do not feel that It
is up to ma to obligate our help
to pay these dues and fees under
threats of losing their jobs."
Answering an assertion by C.
A. Chambers, Culinary workers
business agent, that a closed shop
agreement would not discrimin
ate against present employes of
the restaurants, Chatas said the
operators on the other hand In
tended that there be no discrim
ination whereby the employes
would lose their pobs if they did
not join the union.
Chatas indicated he planned to
file complaints with the public
utilities commissioner this week
against two additional trucking
firms for alleged failure to com
ply with terms of their state
permits and to deliver goods to
his place of businsss.

Japan's representatives in the rear

of conquered Shanghai. ,
Wuhu and Kwangteh, in An-

thrusts which threatened to iso
late Nanking even before the cap
ital could be reached by other
Japanese columns and perhaps be
fore its defenders could withdraw.
Hangchow, capital of Chekiang
province, was: menaced by other
Japanese forces swarming through
tne nmy country luo or more
miles southwest of Shanghai.
News that Great .Britain had
warned Japan the British govern
ment expects to be consulted about
any changes in communications
and customs services in Shanghai
had no apparent effect on the
Japanese program of consolidation
here.
Japanese officers today were
seeking the cooperation of Chi

to ensure uninterrupted operation
of the radio and telegraph services
