Ramsay Peeved Green;
Foster to Expose Both

TORONTO, Canada, Oct. 6.-The
American Federation of Labor Con-
vention opens here tomorrow, with
President William Green and and all
the "fat boys" already on the ground
and preparing for the annual denun-
ciation of the "R eds" who think
the workers should fight the bosses
for better wages and conditions,
whereas the Official A. F. l.. policy
is that they shoul dtake few wage
cuts now and then, in order to pre-
sent a united front with the bosses
in the coming imperialist war.
William z. Foster, general secre-
tary of the Trade Union Unity Lea
que, will be the main speaker in op-
position to these policies at great
mass meeting Wednesday, under the
auspices of the 7. U. U. l.. and the
Trade Union Educational League of
Canada. There the program of mill
tant struggle, real industrial unions
controlled by workers instead of by
a treacherous bureaucracy, and or
ganization of the unorganized, who
are left to be exploited by the A. F.
L., will come up.
Empires Clash.
Green is angry at the attitude Of
British imperialisms champion in
America, Prime Minister MacDon-
aid fthe British labor party.
Three tele grams sent to MacDon-
aid recently by Green were answered
by otherwise unknown secretaries,
who said that unfortunately the
Prime Minister'S time is all taken
up, without a minute to spare, by
those arranging his tour, and he
cannot greet the convention in per-
son." Thus does the imperial agent
snub the staunchest supporters of a
rival imperialism.

Council of the A. F. l.. has before
