JAPAN CABINET ‘ IN MEETING TO DISCUSS CRISIS Cabinet Council Meets To Discuss Condemnation Os Action Tokyo. Oct. 8— (U.R) —Foreign Minister Koki Hirota addressed a cabinet council today on the crisis precipitated by United States and league of nations condemnation of Japan's course in China. Just before the meeting was held a foreign office spokesman dis- ! closed that Hirota was drafting a statement on the situation in the name of the government, and it was believed that, declining to take personal responsibility for it. he had submitted the statement to the government as a whole. Indications increased that the result of the international criti- ’ cism of Japan might be, sooner or I later, a formal denunciation of the ■ nine-power treaty concerning China's status and a flat challenge to the world to step Japan if it could. A group of parliamentary delegates, acting independently, voted I today to issue a declaration in reJ ply to United States pronouncej ments and league action. They de- ' cided to declare that the nine- ’ power treaty and the Kellogg- | Briand peace pact were both outworn and inapplicable in the present situation. They argued that China started present hostili--1 ties and therefore was the aggressor. It was agreed, as a matter of form, to hand a copy of the declaration to Foreign Minister Hirota. The view was taken in well ini formed quarters that the parliamentary declaration reflected the government’s own views and might prove to be of considerable importance. Foreign observers here expressed belief that the government was somewhat anxious at the reaction throughout Japan of the sudden change in United States policy, particularly. They pointed out that to Japan the entire three months since the Chinese trouble started July 7 had been a period of crisis, and that the entire country was feeling it. Some sections of the country, these observers said, seemed to be longing for a return to normality.

DISPUTE OVER UNIONS BREAKS AT CONVENTION AFL Battle Against CIO Flares Briefly On Convention Floor Denver, Oct. 8. —(U.R) —The American Federation of Labor battle against the rebel CIO broke out briefly on the convention floor today when the credentials committee was charged with giving Charles P. Howard, president of the Typographers and secretary of the CIO., the “run around.” President William Green, pound-! ing his gavel and shouting furious-1 ly, halted the dispute by ruling William R. Trotter of the Typo-1 graphical union out of order and—after some difficulty—forcing him to take his seat. The scrap broke into the open coincident with a vigorous denial by Green that he was taking any part in the New York City mayoralty campaign. Federation leaders today demanded greater voice in framing legislation affecting America’s la-1 borers. Striking at the secret drafting of legislation by new deal brain trusters, a resolution introduced at the | annual convention by John P.
