Foster, secretary-treasurer of the Trade Union Educational Lecague today, coun- tering Mr. Gompers' charges made yes- terday that under Foster's direction & po- litical machine was being bullt with bol- ;hevlk funds. to undermine American la- or., Mr. Foster said the charge made by Mr. Gompers was “ridiculous” and that Mr. Gompers was “suffering from an an- ti-Russiacompiex.” Mr. Foster also denied that he w working against the interests of labo and declared that the books of the Trads Union Educational League was open for the inspection of any auditors Mr. Gom- pers might select. “Talking glibly of many millions of dollars being spent for bolshevik propa- ganda In the United States” Mr., Foster sald, “Mr. Gompers takes ocoasion to link my name with this mysterious fund, indirectly indeed, but none the less effec- tively. Therefore I demand that Mr. Gompers make good on his insinuations. “Either he must prove his statements and innuendos or stand convicted of flag- rantly unfair propaganda. As far as the books o our organization are concerned, I stand ready to submit them to any reputable auditing company, who will be given every opportunity to examine into our sources of revenue, “Mr, Gompers' charge abomt my build- ing a great secret machine to undermine the American Federation of Labor move- ment, is ridiculous. The fact Is that the Trade Union Educational league, the body which Mr. Gompers has in mind, operates in broad daylight. Its plan o organization was announced publicly sev- eral months ago throughout the labor press of the country. It is purely an ed- ueational organization. desizmed to atrengthen the trade unions and to give them a more militant phflosophy. Instead of guch a movement being a new thing for me. T have been working con:tantly ajong these lines for the past ten years. During the packing house and the steel industry movements, I had exactly the same thing In mind as I have mnow, namely, the strengthening of the influence of nrogressive and radical elements in the trade union movement. Mr. Gompers' alarm comes at a rather late date. “The explanation of Mr. Gompers' broadside. s that he suffers from an an- ti-Russian complex. With most of the leading politicians and industrialists of Europe convinced that trade and diplo- matie relations must be established with Russia, he still clings to the policy of the ‘Cordon Sanitaire” Where Russia ig concerned he is moro‘oi:mle- “,: Te- dctionary than the ing clags them- press g i = “Another factor making for Mr, Gom- pers’ statement is that he fears new spirit of progress mnow taking shape among the rank and file of the trade unions all over the country. Under his leadership the trade union movement has come to a standstill politically. naustrial Iy and philosophically. .The Trade Union Educational league is working to breai this deadlock and to give the movement the impetus to progress which it now stands 5o sadly in need of, hence Mr. Gompers' violent opposition. He hopes to break it Influence by waving the bloody shirt. DELVING INTO Miw: na HISTORY OF SEMENOFF New York.

May 1.—(By the A.

The note announced that Poland’s recent reply t¢ the goviet delegaion did pot exolain a way the Russiag charge that Poland had vio- lated Doth its peace treaty with Russia and the recent acr_~ment entered into at Riga with Russia aud the Baltic States. The text of M. Tchitcherin's note fol lows “In_your note of April 25 you affirm that ‘Russia is not called on to pass an doinion” as to the pretention of Poland and certain other state which are not united toward Russia by treaties of peacs to an- nul some clausss of treaties concluded by Russia. No plausible argument can jus tity such an unusual pretentizn. “The Ranallo treaty is based on rechro- cal renunciation to all cla'ms. If there existed any claims upon Russia on the part of a thirl power which should has been obtained from Russta throush the in- termediation of Germany these rights ought to have been known by Russia Nevertheless, she has no knowledge of them, and the Russian government can ir no_way recognize thelr existence. “If Germany had violated some agree ment Wwith third powers by signing ths treaty of Rapallo the way was oven for dfslomatic representatatidhs on the part of third powers.

Fhe closes forever the only road which would permit Russia to emerge from the crisis through which she is pass- ing..' By hindering in this way the vital interests of Russia, Poland violates the treaty of Riga, which stipulates friendly relations between Poland and Russia. “Your note of April 25 does not con- taln one single satisfactory justification for your opinion that GermZIay should not participate in the investization of Rus- sian guestions, in view of the existence of the treaty of Rapallo, while the far more comblete treaty of- Riga is no obstacle tc the participation by Poland in the same work. Nor can we agree that enage- ments lose their value If they are under the form of a protocol of cloture. My gov- efnment is accustomed to consider itself bound by all engagements signed by its regular representatives, and it hopes tha: the same holds good for other signatories Therefore, the interpretation which vou glve to the nrotocol of Riga of the thirtieth of March is a violation of the agreement: which it contains. “It is therefore, impossible though expressing once- constant and 1 for peac, not to e + st | of the Polish delegation are hardly such a nati- . e rela- for me. azain Russia’s tions created by the treaty of Riga be- tween Russia and Poland.” COMMISSION TO DEAL WITH DEBTS OF RUSSIA Genoa, May 1—(By the A.
