New York, May 29.-Plans for or
ganizing an international body of
'parlor socialists" to be known as
the International Socialist Educational

a Jewish rabbi, and other clergymen
and literary workers. are interested
in the movement.
In speaking Of the objects OF the
international alliance, the Rev. John
d, Long, secretary of the conference,
said:
1T is likely that the proposed
broader movement will be inaugural
ed by a mass meeting TO be held
early in June, to which all the pro-
fessiorol classes in Greater New
York, physicians, lawyers, teachers,
authors and clergymen will be in,
ed.
1T Is known that large numbers
Of these intellectual proletarians are
in sympathy with socialism, and tho
organization of the proposed alliance
is 10 form a body which will develop
and present the ethical and cultural
sides of socialism, seeking likewise
TO create native literature on the
subject which will appeal to the
Amrican public. 1t will be formed
for two fold purpose, one object
being to reach the educated prols-
tarians with the philosophy OF social
ism and another Of training those
les fortunate in the enjoyment OF
educational advantages in the best
methods Of advocating and presenting
the teachings Of socialism"
