American Federation of Labor, who

gineers and the Order Of Railway
Conductors would be admitted to the
Federation very shortly" The
other two organizations of the Big
Four probably would join later, he
said.
The merger is considered by union
leaders as the most important in the
history Of labor movements, More
than 5000, 900 members will then be
enrolled with the American Fedora
tion of Labor. and when the remain
ing two branches of the Big Four"
are taken in the number will be near
100000.
The decision Of the railroad unions
to bury the hatchet and combine
with the federation Is expected to
put an end to future useless
strikes" 1t Is also stated that the
joining Of these labor forces will
force out all extremism in the ranks
of organized labor.
The news came as 4 great surprise
to labor leaders, altho the move
started nearly year ago. The con-
sensus Of opinion was that it was a
triumph for Gompers, who heads the
most powerful labor organization In
the world.

by Associated PreSS.
Paris. March 30.--lnformation re-
ceived by the foreign office today
from both German and English
sources is in agreement that no real
communist movement exists in the
Ruhr valley. The prime demand Of
the workingmen Is a guarantee
against the return Of militarism,
which Is exactly what the French
government demands. The occupa-
ton of the district by German regu-
lars in force, 1t Is held. would run
exactly counter to that end and
would be likely to put a stop entirely
to the already diminished coal ship
ments to France from the production
of the Ruhr region under the peace
treaty.
There were indications today that
the French authorities have not vet
given up the idea of the eventual
occupation of the Ruhr district by
the allies.
