CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY BETWEEN LOCAL AND NATIONAL UNION LEADERS IMMINENT PHILADELPHIA, Pa March 14. It Is poBsIblo today that iv conflict of nuthorlty botwooti local and na tional londors may result from tho ordor of tho central labor union horo to all union mon of Philadelphia to quit work under penalty of not bo Ing oonsldorod unionists, In most of tho trados tho lntorna- lonnl orennlEntlons have ordorod tholr workers to romaln. thoroby ad- TiBiiiK mom io ignore uiu oruure oi the central labor body. As a result It Is expected 'hero that fow of the union mon who nro now nt work will oboy tho contrnl union's ordor.

Tho majority of theso mon romnln- od at work, although a few failed to nppoar this morning. Tho city was qulot during the early hours today. A canvas Indicates that most of the men who quit work last week are still oat. This would Indicate that tho labor loadora aro still holding tholr men In lino and that tholr predictions of furthor defections from tho ranks of tho workors may bo fulfillod. A poworful offort unquestionably Is bolng made to provont tho milk mon, bakery wagon drlvors and oth ors In that class of work from obey ing the order to strike.

The unrest in Europe over the action ot Russia in formulating a military pol icy in the far east, taken in conjunc tion with tho establishment of what is practically an anti-forelan Dartv la 3apan, reached horo today. It Is not Jingo and some say that the question of Japan's increasing aggressiveness In her Manchurian pol icy Is causing genuine concern nf tho state department. It Is realized that the United States must bo prepared to make a protest if Japan's aggres siveness increases or bo prepared to abandon the policy of thn "mut. door" in China. Japan Is the leader In sovino. t undermine the Chinese sovereignty In Manchuria. Hitherto the crux of the situation has rested botwoen thf country and Japan; now the policy changes on tho part of Russia further complicates a dellcato situation. By the agreement ot France. Oar. many and tho United attr th Shankow railroad loan Is now up to ureat Britain. It remains to bo seen whothor r.nn. don will stand by her former declar atlon and Join tho three powers o. whether tho government will bow ti St. Petersburg and Toklo nml lot thi Chlneso loan fall through. The rejection of tho Nox oronosak chowed that Russia and Japan pro pose to keep thoir grasp upon Man churia. Tho negative attitude of Great Britain is taken to show that she approves. Thus tho United States, France and Germany are loft alono to uphold the territorlal Integrity of China. The Unlted States, having tho largest commercial Interest, Is tho moat Im portant ot theso threo powers. In viow of tho differences likely to arise at any tlmo with Japanese be cause of tho exclusion law, there la little telling at tho present tlmo where the trouble Is going to end or how soon this govrnment may feel called' upon to Issue a positive warning to Japan to keep her hands off Manchu. rla. Tho sltu:.tion In China and Man churia requires careful bundling. A now American minister to China, William J. Calhoun, Is now on hla way to a difficult and arduous noat. The United States needs a man of tact and discretion to keep his foot In tho "open door" to prevent Its being Blammed shut by either Russia or Japan.
