warded him with the job from which
he has just ben released to cut expen-
ses of the weakening association.
Commenting on the situation vice
president Perlstein said the union and
the strike weer strong and the work
ers would carry the fight on until the
employers were forced to recognize
the unions just demands and grant
the union shop.
Association Members Negotiations
Several of the associations memb-
ers are now negotiating with the
union. They are ready to break away
from the association to prevent their
business from going to smash but they
are still holding out for more favor
able terms. Union officials declare
that the bosses must yield to full
union terms.
The fact that the Chicago dressmak-
ers' local instructed its delegates to
the coming Boston convention to de-
mand support for prolonged fight
here was a factor in weakening the
uCbCl AludllOA VI dooOtldllOA nlCAD-
ers.
Solidarity With Expelled.
Another blow to the bosses is the
interesting solidarity in the union
ranks. This solidarity was shown
when the Chicago local stood by the
expelled members and instructed the
delegates to demand their reinstate-
ment in the union.
Chicago Labor Contributing.
The strike fund drive among Chi
cago local unions is meeting with sue
cess from the start. The laters' union
gave 500; eightseven dollars was col
lected from Carpenters Local No. 1871
when strikers made their appeal and
much more isexpected from the union
meeting next Monday to which every
member is specially invited; twenty
five dollars a week for four weeks is
pledged by Carpenters Local No. 1467.
These reports come from the first day
OF the drive which is expected to bring
in thousands of dollars.

Despite secrecy as to details of yes

it has leaked out that Poincare and
Theunis agreed in principle upon a
compromise which will permit con-
tinued united front by these coun-
tries as far as the Ruhr is concerned.
Military occupation will be continued
in some form even tho the experts
plan is put in operation.
It is understood Theunis urged that
occupation eventually be modified to-
ward "invisibility." He proposed oc-
cupatlon OF vital centers only in case
the Germans executed the plan with

have secured promises OF concessions
from Poincare which will enable him
to bring the French and British view
