London, Aug. 1O.-An importe on.
ference of the labor party will =.
at Westminster today to decide VIII. "a
British labor shall be represented a
the international socialist conference at
Stockholm, Sweden. The conference
Will consist of delegates from all trade
unions and other labor socialist rep.
resentatiyes, and is expected to have
momentous consequences.
For days past there has been a sharp
division among labor men with refer.
ence to going to Stockholm and the
newspapers have been filled with ru.
mors, predictions and interviews The
division on the eve of the conference
seems as complete as ever, and II would
be impossible to predict what even an
approach to a certainty, whether those
for the Stockholm conference or those
against it prevail.
Henderson Caused Split.
The main initiatory cause of differ.
ence was the conversion Of Arthur Hen.
derson, minister without portfolio. to
the view, while he was in Petrograd
that it is desirable for British labor
men to go to Stockholm and share in
the deliberations Of the international
delegates, including the Germans. II has
been stated in the past twenty-four
hours that events in Russia since his
departure have caused a change in Mr..
Henderson's views and that he would so
state at todays conference. There is
no confirmation of this report. which
was both reaffirmed and denied In to.
days newspapers.
Notwithstanding that today's confer.
ence ostensibly is called to decide the
question 1t seems doubtful If decis.
ion will be reached or even if a vote
taken. II is expected that real decision
will await the allied labor conference
at the end Of August, although today's
proceedings are likely TO a great extent
TO dictate the ultimate course to be
adon'el.
