A.F. Of |. TORAISE
S20,0O0,0OO TO
FIGHT OPEN SHOP
Claim Great Conspiracy to Re-
duce Wages in This Country
DECLARE THREAT is MADE
Charge Plan Is to Cause Unempcy-
ment Until Workers Will
Accept Reduced Wages

New York, Nov. 11-With approx
nately 100000 men and women out
OF work throughout the country and
unemployment increasing daily, labor
leaders announced last night plan to
raise $20,000,000 war chest to fight a
Conspiracy to put the country on an
open shop basis Labor, they said, is
going to fight the movement to the
last ditch. The executive council CT
the American Federation of Labor
VIII meet today in Washington, with
Samuel Gompers in the chair, to plan
details of the great defence fund, 1t
was stated.
Unemployment at the present time,
the greatest 1t has been since the
winter of 1918, is a part of the "con-
Hpiracy," the labor leaders state.
There is no justification for the slack
ening up Of production at this time
and there can be no other reason for
1t, they charge, than desire to in
crease unemployment and force labor
to accept a reduced wage. Capital,
they say, wishes to saddle the losses
that have been incurred by the decline
OF prices on the workingmen Rnd wo-
men of the country.
Ernest Bohm, corresponding secre-
tary OF the Central Federal Union, is
authority for the statement that labor
sees In the stand Of the clothing manu-
facturers for restoration of piece.
work an organized plot of capital to
sweep away one of the bulwarks Of
the unions, which was gained after
years OF agitation and propaganda
work. Mr.. Bohm says the clothing
manufacturers are merely a dummy
for big business, and that behind their
piecework demand is the open shop,
the arch enemy of organized labor.
There Is no doubt but there is q
plet to restore the open shop" Mr..
Bohm said Capital wants the orga-
ilized workers of the country to give
up what they have gained through
years OF lighting. While we are not
affiliated with the Amalgamted Cloth
ing Workers Of America, who are af-
fected bv the stand Of the clothing
manufacturers, we see that their fight
Is. In fact, our fight and that the de-
tIahds made upon them are merely
the forerunner CT demands big BUSH
ress will make on us.
Mr.. Gompers warned against the
plans of big business to reduce wages
and introduce the open shop when he
chartered the Central Trades and La
bnr Council. which will start its ac-
tivlties next month. Since that time
we have been issuing similar warn
ings to the unions, and even before
Mr.. Gompers issued the warning we
had been telling the unions to be on
their guard. We tcld them to raise
the largest treasures pos and to
recruit as many new members as pos
