Paris, July 8.-ApprovaI of plan

garded as equivalent to assurances
that they will see the KoIchak

The attendance at today's session was
a little lighter than yesterday, when
about fifty delegates were seated. The
delegates represented unions in Butte,
Great Falls, Livingston, Miles City and

of the time was spent in considering the
plan of organization. The constitution
of the Canadian one big union conven-

most word for word. the principal change
being in the amount of pay provided for
members of the executive committee.
The constitution contains some of the
phrases sent out broadcast by the

General Strike Its Principle.
The prevailing idea is an organization
to oppose employers and provides plan
for collective bargaining, the demands Of
one labor group to be supported by
every other, and the general strike to
constitute weapon to force compliance
on the part of employers. The preamble
begins with these words:
Modern INDUSTRIAL society is ulfiueu
into two classes-those who possess and
do not produce and those who produce
and do not possess Reference is then
made to the class struggle in which there
can be no compromise and which can be
won by the workers only thru organiza-
ton.
Thruout all of the session of the con-
vention antagonism was expressed
toward the American Federation, some
of the speakers denouncing that or
ganization in the most spirited terms.
The leaders express satisfaction over
the work of the convention and say that
they believe that it is the beginning of

thruout the United States. Represena-
