GENEVA, April 25.——A new law. authorizmg and controlling the or- ganization oi labor unions, consti- tutes th-e latest indication of the ln- dustrial and social changes now go ing on in China, according to a statement just issue dby the inter- national Labor. Bureau.‘

‘In ooniorruity with its obligations as a member oi the International Labor Bureau and Labor Conter- nce. China hws lust-sent in a. copy oi its new law providing for or- ganized labor. ‘

The law, which grants workers in each line of industry the right to organise unions. grants also to the union the istandlng oi a legal entity:

The Chinese unions are encour- aged by ‘the ‘law to build up mutual assistance amongst members and to strive-for an improvement in labor investigations to nrake pro- posals to the Government ior labor legislation, to rcply to all questions asked by the Government and to establish branches throughout (the entire republic. - -

The law requires only teiuslgna- tures in-order to secure a govern- mental authorization _tor the organ- isation of a. union.

The Government also retains the right to dissolve a trade union if it ‘takes action against the present Government; if it disturbs the pub- lic pence; ii it endangers the nor- nal flow o! lite of a community or if it is likely to obstruct communi- cation or inflict lniury on the na- tion or society. ‘ .

According to organized labor ex- perts at the‘ ‘International Labor Bureau this new law places China in the trout ranks oi those nations who have legislated in behalf o! or- ganlzed labor. '

Did ' Kipling- Make - a Mistake?

(United Press)

LONDON, April 25.—Brltls'hers are chuckling over an amusing mis- take made by Rudyard Kipling in naming the roads, gates, etc., at the British Empire Exhibition, at Wem- bley Pa/rk. Kipling, at least. gave patriotic names to everything- Drake's Way, Dominion Avenue, etc.

At the Pal-ace of Industry he ep- proprlately named the “Steel Gate" the “Alchemists Gate". and so on, for the entrances to the steel, chemical, and other exhibits. but at the end of the same building he came n crapper.

Seeing a gate which apparently led to the leather goods section, Kipling cnrlscined it “The Leath= or Gate". Later it was iound that this gate led to a high-class grill- room, where chops and steaks were guaranteed. A rechrlsteniug ceremony was promptly arranged.
