COOPERATIVE BANK WITH FIVE MILLION
 CAPITAL ONE PLAN
Men Prominent in Labor De- velopment to Stump Nation for Purpose of Giving
 Official Views
By HARDEN GALFAx

Special Correspondent of The Age

 (copyright, 1921, by The Age-HeraId)
 Washington, March 19.-(Special.) ] Attacks on the American Federation of Labor from within and from with out, led on the one hand by the more radical faction in labor, which is dis satisfied with the leadership of Sam uel Gompers and on the other by the powerfully financed and strong ly organized open-shop campaign, is stimulating the federation to un- wonted activity, and labor organiza- tions generally to new experiments designed to place great economic power in the hands of workingmen.
 The federation itself is undertaking, as result of the recent conference of heads of international unions, to place a point of view before the public and men prominent in the labor develop- ment-notably MT. Gompers and Frank Morrison, secretary of the federation are being sentson speaking tours to ad- oress mass meetings in the larger cities everywhere. Large meetings are being arranged throughout the country in or der that the views of the official spokes. men of organized labor on such topics of the day as the open shop or Amer

agreement doubtless would lead to the conclusion of a formal peace. The ac- tion of the British government in this matter may not commend itself to France but it will be approved by Italy, and means big step toward general peace in Europe
 Another outstanding event of the week is movement by British labor contem- plating the sending of a special com mission to Germany to investigate the condition of the workers there, with aspe- cial reference to the effect of the allied reparation proposals. British workers al- ready are deeply concerned as to the possible effect of these proposals on their own condition. and they fear that ths separations recovery bill now before Parliament may have the effect of mak- ing them pay part of the German in- demnity indirectly. The situation admit tedly is complicated one, economically and otherwise. When the allies, for in- stance, have ascertained Germanys capa- bility to pay, then they will have to de- termine what they can themselves afford to receive without undue disadvantage to their own interests.
 There is feeling here that burden of the present proposals will not fall wholly on the German people.

MAKING ENTERTAINMENTS


 Among labor organizations generally. however the present is being taken as a time of experiment along lines de signed to protect the economic interests of workmen An ambitious project of this character is that to establish the Producers and Consumers Cooperative bank. which aims to erect branch banks in many important cities and which hopes to raise for all the banks a cap ital of Slo0'oOoo00 among the labor union members of the country
 The plan contemplates a start in Phil adelphia with the establishment there oe bank having a capitalization of So00.000 The Central Labor union of Philadelphia, has indorsed the plan and shares of stock are being sold at $29 each The idea Is to conduct the banK through trustees, under a declaration os trust in order to avoid certain diff cultes of corporation management.
 Wharton Barker. at one time prom inent in the populist movement is one of the promoters of the plan. The object Of starting in Philadelphia is to reach the widest possible circle of working men and it is estimated that industrial plants near that cty bring greater number of union men into working radius than al- most anywhere else.
 NOT OFFICIALLY APPROVED
 The plan, has not received the official approval of the federation, although the International Association of Machnists has taken the lead in banking organizu- tion through obtaining control of two large banks here in Washington. The railroad organizations have long been at work on a plan to establish a bank :u Cleveland in order to make full use of the S4200o,000 of available assets the rail roads brotherhoods are said to possess. and unions in many parts of the country invested funds in the state bank of North Dakota because they did not wish tc have their money used in loans to open shop employers.
 This growing -class consciousness" on the part of labor is the cause of the dis content with the policies of Mir Gompers The men opposed to him admit that for 20 years or more there has been much talk of throwing Gompers out at each of the conventions of the federation, but they also say that labor has rarely, in this country, been in more perilous position than now. and they contend that the Gompers' regime is mainly responsi- ble. Labor in Europe, it is pointed out. is much stronger than before the war, but here relentless war is being waged against organizations of employees and so effectively that unions are really serl- ously threatened in many places. A moro definite and constructive programme is essential, say the opponents of Mir Com pers, to effective leadership of the trade union movement.
