ONE BIG UNION
IS URGED BY
W. I. FOSTER
Trades Union Educational
League Organized to Sup
plant 1. w. w. and Anal
gamate Labor Units.

CHICAGO. Aug. ABBY The As
ISOLATED Pressl6Amalgation OF all Ia
Dor organizations was declared to be
the principal object OF h Trades
Union Educational league as outlined
by William Z. Foster. secretary and
chief executive today before the sec
ond annual meeting. He plainly de
clared that the membership was com
posed OF syndicalists, anarchists,
communists. and other radicals.
About l25 persons, including a
dozen women attended the session of
the convention which was expected
10 continue through tomorrow. No
attempt at secrecy was made. It was
believed that federal agents and city
detectives attended. The delegates
were said TO come principally from
tho north central states although
some come from the Pacific coast.
Foster. who is ut liberty on bonds
pending a hearing on a fugitive war
rant for his removal TO Michigan
for arraiEnment on a charge Of VIC
iating the state syndicalism act under
which II other alleged radicals are
held at st. Joseph. Mich. denied that
he attended the meeting OF radicals
at BridEman. Mich, last Monday
and Tuesday resulting IN raids by
federal and state agents.

the League declared that II was form.

with the I. W. W. separate and dis
iinct from organized labor. The
Trades Union Educational league.
Foster said. was intended TO work
within the labor unions for the event
ual amslgarnation OF all. N~inety-five
per cont of radicals within organized
labor had been enrolled in the league.
he asserted.
'Ninety-five per sent OF the radi-
calls IN the railroad unions stand for
consolidation OF the 15 unions into
one" Foster declared. That is the
principal issue in the strike today
more than anything alse. The spec.
tacie of seven unions being on strike
and nine working is criminal stupid
ity.'
Speaking on the amalgamation of
unions or lone big union' idea, Fos-
ter said:
when the idea Of consolidation be-
comes universal In the United States.
IL will be found as it was IN Russia,
that the responsibility VIII fall on
tho shoulders OF 9. few. The American
Federation OF Labor IS geing to force
the rank and file to take Russia.
Whether the rank and file OF labor
accepts Russia or not makes no DIFF
ference, labor IS dissatisfied.
THE American Federation Of La
Dor is dying because at its head Is
a man whose mentality died forty
years ago."
Foster referred to Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

for Failure to Meet
Obligations.

PARIS. Aug. 2e-By The Asso-
ciated PresseThe negotiations in
Berlin between tho ~reparations mis-
sion and German government officials
came to an end at noo today with
out having produced any compromise
IN the German ~reparations question
acceptable to both the British and
French representatives. according to

win try finally to dispose of the ques-
ton OF granting a moratorium to
Germany.
If the last minute guarantees Of
fered by the Germans prove to be as
unsatisfactory as previous proposals.
the British are expected to try to
postpone action by the commission in
order to delay the carrying out of
penalties independently by France
with tho hope that some way out of
the difficulty nay be found.
There was much speculation today
as to what form the French penalties.
IL carried out, would take.
It was suggested by some observers
that Premier Polncare may delay the
proposed penalties until the recon
vening OF the chamber of deputies the
first week In October in order that
the government may proceed with its
program backed up by a vote of con
fidence.
Sir John Bradbury and Eugene
Mauclere. British and French repre-
sentatives. respectively. of the rep
%arations commission, were expected TO
leave Berlin this afternoon, arriving
in Paris tomorrow.
The French foreign office learned
unofficially that new proposals were
submitted by the Germans but they
were not considered important enough
to warrant the mission remaining In
Berlin longer. The ~reparations com
