German peace treaty this week by dis
posal Of amendments and by begin
ming consideration OF reservations.
both houses will convene today with
decreasing prospects of adiourning the
special session by November 10. as the
leaders have hoped. In view of pros
pective delay on the treaty. house
leaders yesterday discussed plans for

ened coal strike. also promises to re-

posing drastic action by the govern.
ment. Further consideration OF the

amendments will he resumed today,
with a vote expected in few days.
The remainder of the week. it is eX-
pected. will be given over to DISPOSE

doubt.
Both senate and house tomorrow
will drop temporarily all legislative

GIGANTIC LABOR
BATTLE FORECAST
112 INTERNATIONAL UNIONS TO
MEET IN WASHINGTON TO
DISCUSS STRIKES
AID Of FARMERS IS SOUGHT
illinois Branch Of American Fedora
ton Proposes That Union Men Be
Assessed One-fourth Of Pay to
Accomplish Objects Of Drive

washington, Oct. ~. - What may
prove one of the greatest industrial
battles in history was believed by some
observers here to be forecast by the
announcement of Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
of Labor, that a conference of the 112
international unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
would he held in Washington in the
near future to discuss present and
impending disputes.
Cooperation of the four big rail.
road brotherhoods and the farmers Of
the country as we'll as the labor or
CARNATIONS of Canada probably will
be sought, it was said, in furthering
whatever program the union chiefs
decide upon.
Mr.. GOmperS' announcement was
contained in telegram to the Illinois
Federation of Labor at Peoria. His
message was in reply to one in which
the Illinois organization asked that Il
special convention Of the American
Federation of Labor be called to per-
feet an alliance of the International
unions of the United States and Can
ada, and the railroad brotherhoods
more effectively to fight out the life
and death struggle of the workers
now in progress
Federation officials also pointed
out that the Illinois branch proposed
that the aid of the farmers be enlisted
and that assessments aggregating
one-fourth of the net earnings of or
ganized workers be made until the
objects of the drive be accom-
plished."
Decision to issue call for meet.
ing of the international union chiefs,
was reached ny the federation's exec
ntive council early last week. hut the
announcement was withheld. At that
time labor officials had become con-
WINGED that the national industrial
conference would be unable to reach
any basis for the establishment Of
industrial peace.
1t was following this that Mr..
GOmpers, in withdrawing organized
labOr's representatives from the con-
ference, warned the employers group
that when they met in conference
again with the spokesman for union
labor they would be glad to talk col
lective bargaining.
Federation officials declined to go
into details regarding the forthcom-
ing conference. They said the SUBJ
jects to be discussed would rest with
the union chiefs themselves and the
time of the meeting had not been de-
termined.
Whether there was any connection
between the proposed conference and
the notice given the railroad admins
tration by Timothy Shea of the Fire
mems brotherhood. that the railroad
workers would fight for general in
creases in pay before the government
relinquished control of the roads, was
not disclosed.
