could be raised.
Mr.. Bohm denied he had ever stated
that the American Federation OF Labor
had already decided upon raising a ma
tional defence fund. and said that tn;
members of its executive council would
know nothing of his plan until his com
r.unication, sent to-day, arrived IN
Washington. The A. F. Of l.. would be
u" ged to take immediate and favorable
q, ton. Mr.. Bohm said. and he added
that he believed t would do so.
Mr.. Gompers has been quoted In the
newspapers as denying that a $4,000
coo fund is to be raised by the A. F. OF
T." said Mr.. Bohm. "and as stating
that, under its taxing power. 1t could
only collect S450.000 from its members
for such a purpose. Let me say that
in submitting my pan / am RELYING on
tho enthusiasm of the members ] an
cor fident that when the matter 70 prop
srly presented the organization will Sc,
the necessity for raising defence fund
ard that they will be ready to Increase
it to 500, 900 If necessary IN cas-
OF a crisis or emergency.
1.-THE British trades unions form.ns
the so called Triple Alliance, l under
stand, have monster defence fund, and
II is no more than proper that the
American unions have a similar one.
Sir ce they are meraced by more ex-
tersive open shop movement than has
ever been known Even Mr.. Gompers
himself at the last meeting here of the
NSnITdl lTdutS anu SOuhSt, cAai
phasized the necessity fer united &C
tion on the part of labor as defence
against a general onslaught on the par
of the open shop forces.
For months reports have been com
ing in from all parts of the country that
til. most powerful business interests arr
liz ing up for concerted open shop
dive against all unions, no matter what
tl,e obstacles may be. Organized labor
would be foolish. indeed, not to take
p, per precautions by rails ng de-
f.rce fund. / be ieve there is a general
ser timent among the 5000. 900 members
OF the American Federation of Labor foe
TIE creation OF such "A fund. and that
when the pan Is promulgated it will re
oo!ve practically unanimous approva
from the members"
