HELP FOR GERMAN UNIONS
AN AMERICAN LABOUR, FUND.
NEW YORK, 25th November. Mr. Samuel Gompers has approved of the plan of the American Federation of Labour members, asking three million members to contribute 10 per cent, of a day's pay in support of German trade unions. It' is estimated that probably three million dollars can be secured in this manner—sufficient to offer material aid to. the German bodies which have sent appeals to the American unions. Mr. Gompers feels that a contribution is not oly a humanitarian act and commendable in itself, but will prove a distinct aid to the cause of democracy in Germany, since the German unions are considered to be the only barrier against both Bolshevism and Monarchisra in that country.
