Robert Maisel Of American Labor
Alliance Sees Proof
Of Unity.

NEW YORK. Aug. S.-(Special to
The Labor. Wor1d.)-A cable from
Paris says:
''The congress Of the General Con-
federation of Labor, after long and
animated discussion, has adopted, by a
vote of 90s to 23s, a resolution ap-
proving the adoption by the leaders
of the confederation of the peace:
principles enunciated by President
ilson."
Commenting Upon this Robert Mai
sci, director of tha American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy, said:
1T is clear to anyone at all familiar
with the situation that there is agree
ment between the workers of America
and of France and Britain on far
ment upon.
Certain interests in America. that
are either ignorant or purposely per-
verse, are seeking to make it appear
that there is a great gulf between
American workers and their brothers
on the other side.
also they are seeking toa-magnify
the pacifist, defeatist and obstruction
list operations of small minority.
This vote of the French confed-
Grafton is another indication of the
real unity of purpose between Amer
! ican labor and labor in France and
f! Britain. The President of the United
! States, in his Interpretation Of the
! issues involved in. the war and in his
statement of war aims, has the sup
! port of the overwhelming majority Of
the workers of France. Britain. and
| America. -
This most recent vote of the
! French workers is magnificent and of
immense Significance!
| Il hope it's lesson will not be lost
on those who under the guise of
liberalism at home have been doing
; their best to drive wedge between
; the workers of America and the work.

(By cable to the Labor Worldly
LONDON, Aug. s.-The parlta-
mentary committee of the Trade
Union, congress, the most representa-
tive national organization of Great
Britain's organized workers, has taken
most important step in international
labor relations, in having drafted a
proposal for common action among
trade unions OF the allied countries.
After conkiderat ton by the constit-
uent bodies, the parliamentary COM
mittee proposal will be discussed by
the Trade.%2Union congress which
meets in Derby'i in September next.
There was (before the wary an in
ternational trade union organization
ine existence, with headquarters in
Berlin, but only a minority j. Of the
British trade unions were affiliated
with it. ..'-
. The anti-pacifist section of the Ia
Dor movement has gained further
grund since the recent Labor party
conference. The Labor members OF
the government have been strength
ened by the unopposed re-election to
thu house Of commons of j., r. Clynes
the new food controllsr, and some are
waging an active propaganda against
their pacifist critics. T..
John Hodge, secretary of the steel
workers and minister of pensions,
who's humanitarian administration
has made him very popular, is taking
a strong attitude against the ''stock'
holm policy represented by Arthur
Henderson and ]. Ramsay Macdonald
and contends that they do not repre-.

ing bulk Of British trade unionists

Labor Woman to Examine

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Another
woman executive has been appointed
by Secretary Of Labor Wilson in the
war labor administration This is
Miss Florence G. Thorne, of this city,
and formerly of Hannibal, No., who
for tho past six years has been on
the personal staff of President Com
pers as assistant editor Of the Amer
lean Federationist, Miss Thorne will
be assistant director of the working
conditions service in the: department
of labor, the function OF which is to
examine into the working conditions
in the war industries determine the
standards which should be main
tanned, and adopt rules and means for
enforcing such standards.
Grant Hamilton, formerly legisla-
tive chairman for the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, is director Of the
service.
Miss Thorne, member Of the News
board of the Washington committee
of the National Women.s Trade Union
league is. one of the increasing num-
her of college women in the organ
lied labor movement. By reason fur
ther Of her: excep tionaIsexperience at
the editorial desk, she Has an equip
ment for her new posi- lon which is
probably unique. She Is "a graduate
of the University Of Chicago, with
two years to her credit &lso at Oberlin
college, Ohio. Prior I'd that she was
high school teacher at her home In
Hannibal, Mo.
1t was through her graduate re-
search work in economics under the
late Prof. Robert F., Hoxje at the Uni

offered her, in 1919; the assistant ed
itorship of the American Federation
ist. In that capacity she has both
edited and contributed articles and
reports on labor conditions and labor
question. which ARE of national and
: International bearing. .c = e..
The appointment of Miss Thorne to
p. one of the most responsible executive
positions in the war labor administra-
ton is regarded by women of organ
ized labor as another significant rec
ognition by the federal government of
the need for the expression of Wom-
ems point of view in the national la
Dor policies, as, well as for the work
of their hands.
