NEW YORK. November 26-Finan-
cial support for the trades unions of
Germany was decided upon at a con-
ference of American Federation of
Labor officials. headed by President
Samuel Gompers, here yesterday. The
proposal will be passed upon by the
executive council of the federation
next week, 1t was said, and the
amount to be raised and the method
of raising II will be determined then
Mr.. Gompers said the proposal to
aid the German unions had been made
in the belief that they are the one
stabilizing force left in Germany to-
day. "They are at once anti-bol-
shevik and anti man -on-horseback,"
he said.
The depreciation of the mark has
left their treasures bankrupt, he
said and immediate financial aid was
necessary If the German trades union
movement was to survive
IF they are to live they must have
funds" said Mr.. Gompers. There
fore. not as an act of charity. but as
a plain duty, the American labor
movement, acting through the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, proposes
to give them not only moral but
financial support The survival of
