THE AFFILIATED BODIES
To the Number of 10000 Will Contribute to Ranks of Unemployed - He is Hopeful Things Will Not Come to This Pass

Washington, Jan. 1.-"If an amicable adjustment of the differences between the northwestern railroads and their switchmen is not reached through the mediation of the conference here, the strike will spread and probably 20,- 900 men will be called out" declared H. B. Perham, head of the railway de- partment of the American Federation of Labor. today.
 This increase in the number of strikers will not be from among the switchmen alone. but it will come from other organizations like the freight handlers, the boilers makers and such affiliated associations. The switchmen are for peace if possible. but they are determined on a general strike if the plans of mediation fail"
 Perham added, however, that he was hopeful of settlement. None of the affiliated organizations will take sympathetic action pending the result of Perham's conferences with the me diation board, which will be resumed Monday. The American Federation of Labor has left the whole matter in the hands of Perham, who is the head of shS OANci Ol ls<AiA"dS AcAcSAdpHciS member of the executive committee of the federation.
 Perham had short talk with Presi- dent Gompers of the federation today. but the call was largely incident to a New Years reception at Mir. Com per's home.
 No decision has been reached by the mediation board as to the selection of a third arbitrator in the case of the dispute between the Illinois Central and it's switchmen

|MR. G0h|PERS :. MAKES DRAFT For a Fund to Fight Steel
 Corporation
 \ PROCLAMATION 0f WAR
Million and a Half Mem bers of the Federation to Subscribe to a Fund of $154, 900 More to Be Called For Later

Washington, Jan. 1-Officers of the American Federation of Labor tonight issued a call on its 1,54O. 900 members to subscribe to a fund with which to wage a fight on the steel trust The call arraigns the cor poration as inimical both to labor and to the country. and as a violator of the laws. s154,00O is to be raised at once.
 The corporation is termed "a bold and daring violator of the laws" and 1t is stated that calls for more money will be issued as the fight progresses.
 The action follows a conference at Pittsburg on December I3, between the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, the Tin Plate Workers Protective Association, the Longshoremen's and Seamens union. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor was present. The call is signed by MT. Gompers. Frank Morrison, secretary of the federation, H. B. Perham and other leaders.
 Although the appeal is made by the federation, the funds will not be turned into the federation treas ury. All the subscriptions will be sent to John Williams, who has open ed labor headquarters in Pittsburg for the fight
 In his statement Mir. Gompers as- sailed the steel corporation for its aggressions against labor, and charges that it conspired against production. manipulating the market. and striving to eliminate a free press.
 The growing criminality of the trust is its attitude toward labor" said Mir. Gompers. arraigning the so-called fit-sharing plan by which the company gives it's em- ployes an opportunity to obtain an interest in the vast business.
 This plan.' MT. Gompers said. "is transparent deceit through which a small minority of the employees are sought to be bribed to help in the daily sweating of the vast majority"
 The steel corporation at Christ mas is reported to have given away million in gifts to employees, and have offered both common and pre- ferred stock to those who cared to invest at a little lower than the market price.
 Among the charges brought by MT. Gompers is that these dividends are based not only upon the invested capital. but upon more than a half billion of watered stock.
 Its attorneys are present at every legislative body. from which privil- ege may be purchased. Its influence upon certain courts has been shown by the radical notifications of their unjust injunctions. speedily made by the higher courts.
 Tn close touch are certain infam- ous daily newspapers. whose charac- ter is exhibited on every occasion when it is possible for their editors to choose between prostituting them selves before the subsidy disbursers, or courageously defending the com mon rights.
 The systematic destruction of an open, honest market is shown in ways, from pushing high CT the already super-protective tariff against public opinion, to the crush ing of rivals in any branch of in- dustry which it enters"
