NEW YORK, June 7.-When the con-
vention Of the National Womens Trade
Union League of America gets under
way In New York this week. there will
be made public an important report
dealing with Industrial conditions as
they have existed In Germany since the
outbreak of the war.
The Women Workers Branch of the
General Commission OF Trade Unions in
Germany has submitted many facts on
this subject to the president of the
league, Mrs. Raymond Robins.
This became known when delegates to
the convention arrived in this city and
Mrs. Robins is having the German re-
port translated for use in the cbnven-
tion. ..,..-- ..-'r
1t Is emnhatically stated by the women
officials of the German trade unions
that a large proportion of the popula-
ton of the empire SHOCKING and pray
ing for peace. They add that the great
movement for internationalism among
workers will be resumed as soon as the
war is over. Just how the German
unions are caring for their women men,
bers who are out OF work is fully ex-
great deal of suffering among workers Is
indicated by the elaborate union relief
systems which have been organised.
Another report received from abroad

DIR. stephen 8. Wise. rabbi of the
