ton as a world leader in the war, CIV
ing In detail the results Of It's meet
lngs with English and French labor
leaders and recommending the estab-
llshment OF an international federation
OF trade unions, yesterday was sub
mltted 10 the annual convention OF the
American Federation Of Labor by the
American Labor Mission, which recent
ly returned from Europe. James VIII
son, OF Washington, chairman OF the
mission. presented the report.
The conferences. held In various parts
OF England and France. extended even
to the battlefront. proved OF immense
value, according 10 the report, because
Of the opportunity they gave for an
exchange Of opinions, viewpoints and
policies.
AS a result" the report said. IT was
possible 10 clearly and definitely state
the attitude and policy Of the American
Federation Of Labcr on war aims and
10 give the reasons which had prompt
ed American trade unionists TO adopt
these policies which have so profound
ly Influenced the program OF the
movement In the allied nations"
Referring to the respect In which
President Wilson Is held In the allied
countries, the report said. in part:
NO matter In which differing in
dustrial or political circles we found
ourselves there was the same profound
admiration for him. His actions and

ed the people Of the allied countries. J."
The report includes an exhaustive

vide IAN opportunity for labor delegates
from the respective countries now at

ment Of their future intentions and TO
endeavor TO arrange. program Of ac-
ton for a speedy and democratic
peace"
Although opinion in allied countries
differed as TO the possibilities OF such
a convention, members Of the Ameri.
can mission hold the view that Ger
man and Austrian unions and Social
ist leaders had fun knowledge OF an
interallied conference and at that time
failed to make a statement Of their
position
As they failed TO indicate any will

resentatiyes Of allied labor as proposed

Under the caption OF International
Federation Of Trade Unions, the re-
port declared. there was an imperative
need for the establishment OF or inter-
national federation Of labor.
The members OF the commission

RUSSELL|TES' BOOK
ISSUED AFTER WAR
Indictment Against Witness
Who Failed to Recall
Signatures
CASE WILL COME
CASE WILL COME
TO TRIAL JUNE IL

NEW YORK. June i2-'Ths Finished
Mystery" the alleged sedltlous book
Issued by the International Bible Stu
dents Association. Of which the late
Pastor Russell was founder, was not
completed before this country entered
the war, as has been contended by Rus
sells followers who are now on trial
for conspiracy before Judge Howe in
the Federal Court, Brooklyn, accord
ing 10 testimony offered yesterday af-
ternoon.
During yesterdays session, William
F. Hudglns, who had previously been
held in contempt Of court by Judge
Howe for refusing to answer questions.
was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury.
The admission that the book contain
ing the sedltl0us matter had been COM
pleted after war was declared by this
country was made by George II. Fisher
OF Scranton, Pa, one OF the editors Of
the Watch Tower Fisher testified that
he had seen revised proofs Of the book
on June %, 1917, eighteen days after
war had been declared.
His testimony was offered after the
Grand Jury had brought in the indict-
ment against Hudgins, who had earlier
in the day been sent TO Jail by Judge
Howe for evading questions put to him
when called 10 identify the signatures
OF William z. Van Amburgh and A.
Hugh Mcmillan, men he had worked
beside for years. Hudsins wife, who
was a stenographer, also had refused 10
answer questions and was reprimanded
by the court
Following the indictment Hudgins
was arraigned before Judge Howe and
bail fixed at 5000. The case will come
up on June A..
Fisher declared The Finished Mys-
terry written closely from an outline
left by. Pastor Russell. was based on
prophecies In the Book OF Revelation.
The witness said that he personally
was not opposed to war and would be
willing TO lght, but that the Lord said
in His teachings that a Christian should
not take life. "To a man who has not
made full conservation Of himself L
would not lay down such a law" he de-
clared.
"You mean." commented the court.
'that it is wrong for you and those
with you 10 engage in warfare, but
right for the rest Of us7"
Fisher said that one passage in the
book, "Conscription will meet with op-
position" was not written by him. but
had been edited into the copy after he
had turned it in.
