TELLSI. ". ". PLAN
Strikes Always Furnish Ma
teriaI for "0ne Big Union"
Haywood Declares Workers
Must Take Over All Industries.

Chicago, April 16.-Plans of the
Industrial Workers of the World to
advocate the one big union movement
during the present unrest among rail-
road workers was revealed in state
ment by William D. Haywood, former
general secretary and treasurer of the
/. w W., and John Sandgren, editor
of the One Big Union monthly pub
lished here, today.
The two leaders were quoted as
denying any connection between the
I. w. W. and insurgent railroad or
ganization now on strike, but said eff
dustrial unionism" in the unauthorized
rail strikes as in all other strikes of
Importance.
I'VE have always agitated toward
securing recruits for the one big union
idea" Haywood was quoted.
1--WE did so in the Gary steel strike,
and we probably will do so as long as
we are an organization-for We con-
slider that the goal of all industrial
organization.
"PIans which the I. w. w. has been
advocating include a complete or
ganziation for one big union with
the ultimate goal of taking over the
railroads and operating them by the
union
"These plans are: The use of both
verbal and printed propaganda to
wean the railroaders away from all
other organizations until the one big
union would have sufficient strength
to declare a general strike on all lines
in ali crafts, thus precipitating the
crisis thru which it is hoped the COM
panies will pass into the hands of the
nQiOn.'

1t became evident before noon that the
course of the stock market like that of the
preceding session would be governed large
ly by money conditions. Call loans opened
at 10 per cent, the highest initial rate in
almost six weeks. The supply was said
to be small, pointing to higher rates later.
With the first signs of renewed stringency
stocks began to react, standard shares as
well as specialties, FORGETTING the greater
part of their to point gains. Specula
tive sentiment was also affected by fur
ther weakness of liberty bonds, the 31as
making a sheer decline of 1 per cent
Stocks were irregular within narrow limits
at the opening of today's trading, probably
as a result of yesterdays furry in the
money market. Several of the steels.
equipments, oils and specialties were lower
but these were offset by further confident
buying Of vanadium and Replogle steels
and consolidated textiles, all at new high
records. Motors and their specialties, also
shippings and sugar shares made substan-
tial gains. Practically all the liberty bonds
and victory loans made new low records.
Stocks rallied during the dull mid SEES
sion In spite of call moneys advance to l.
per cent. Leaders of the recovery included
shippings, equipments and favorites of the
morning, especially minor steels, oil, food
issues and express companies shares.
