GOMPERS ATTACKS
FOSTER AS RADICAL
Charges Leader of Steel Strike
With Instigating One Big
Union Move.
SEEKS END OF A. +. OF L.
Accused Declares Federation
Officials Fear Losing Jobs
Row at Chicago Meeting.

CHICAGO, April 12.--William u. Foster,
xho directed the steel strike. was
charged tonight by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
OF Labor. with being the instigator or
the so called one big union movement
in the labor organization. The charge
come in an address before presidents
cf various unions in the Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and followed session
ii. which the one big union movement
was assailed and defended.
Foster had spoken in defense of the
big union principle recently approved by
the Chicago Federation of Labor. which
passed resolution petitioning the Amer
ican Federation of Labor to call con-
ference to discuss the feasibility OF
amalgamating all unions in any industry
into one central body This resolution.
Mr. Gompers contended, was tantamount
to the formation of one big union. De-
tenders of the resolution asserted that II
did not involve the one big union feature.
Back of that resolution" Mr. Com
pers charged, 'is the propaganda OF
radical revolution 10 overthrow the
constituted Government of the United
States To do that, as Lenine himself
said. the American Federation of Labor
must be overthrown, and William u.
America"
The meeting ended after Mr.. Com
pers's address when Foster tried to re-
gain the floor but was not recognized
by Mr. Gompers. as chairman. and was
shouted down.
Later Mr. Gonpers asserted Foster
became a union mar, worked as an or
ranizer during the strike Of packing
house workers and then directed the
steel strike. (which was called against
Mr. Gomperss advice. the speaker as
serted.
"I,ately." he continued. Foster has
been in Russia with Lerine and Trotzky.
Judging from his own statements. no
man visiting the Soviet was ever treated
better, and yet in the few weeks he
was there he lost thirty pounds.
while / am a trade unionist from
the ground up, I am first of all an
American, and never have known such
self-appointed autocrat as this Foster,
who discarded the l. w. w. doctrine to
return to the red martle of Sovietism.
80 long as I live and retain the
privilege of a clean cut card Will fol-
low where that card reads me in the
service of my fellow men,
Foster. in defending the one big
union idea, asserted that it was bound
to come. When it went into effect he
said a union. after being authorized 20
strike. would have the backing of every
other union and thus no strikes would
fail.
lie charged the officers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor We're fright
ened by the plan because they thought
it was new and were afraid of losing
their jobs. The one union in each in
dustry plan he considered very con-
servative.n

CHfROPRACTORS WIN;
GOVERNOR VETOES BILL
Penalties in Bloomfield Act
Called Too Uncertain.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany, April IL.
Chiropractors have won their fight
against the Bloomfield medical prac-
tice bill, which they charged was de-
signed to put them out cf business.
Gov. Miller vetoed the mea asure to-day.
The bill amended the public health law
by prescribing penalties and methods
of prosecution for Illegally practicing
medicine"
II am in sympathy with the general
purpose of the measure, but its pro-
visions for civil penalties and for
criminal prosecution are so COM
mingled as to create too much
uncertainty and ambiguity for a
criminal statute of such severity" the
Governor wrote. 1T is at least doubtful
whether the act does not attempt to con-
fer jurisdiction upon cour,s of special
sessions to impose prison sentences OF
five years"
The Governor referred 10 section
providing for a penalty of not less than
$500 or imprisonment of not less than
one year or more than ave. or both
for a second offense in Illegally prac-
ticing.

"The salaries of local officials should

Legislature is to confer adequate power

clares a principle ebelieved by many TO
be sound, l. e. that the salaries OF GER

Similar provisions are to be found IN

Washington. ID. c.. AnriI IL.

a movement was inaugurated in the
House to-day by Representative Beck
(Wis.) to compel coal operators to pro-
duce their income tax returns for the
Inspection OF Congress. The purpose is
to show the profits which the operators
have been making.
Representative Beck says: Coal OPP
orators have put out the eyes of the
Government by fnjunctions forbidding
the Federal Trade Commission to inquire
into coal costs and profits. as directed
by Congress
"The only possible inference is that
the coal companies have taken this
action to conceal profits because they
dare not allow them to be made public.
The Federal Trade Commission being
thus estopped from discovering the
truth. the Government must necessarily
fall back upon the first hand lnforma-
ton contained in the tax reports.
