THE NEW .,
INTERNATIONAL
by VIM. Short, President Wash
ington State Federation of
of Labor.)

There is in process of formation
now New Labor International that
will surely bring to realization the
hopes of a majority of the work
ers of the world. An International
created by the real Labor Move
ments of the different countries and
serving exclusively their interests
The recommendation for it's creation
was made to the last A. F. of L.
Convention by the American War
Labor Mission which recently return
ed from Europe and which had been
in conference with the representa-
tives of labor from all of the Allied
Countries. The stern realities de-
veloped by the war has brought home
to the workers of the Allied Ma
tions the imperative need of d
sound Trades Union International.
The Labor Movement of the world
has always been international in
spirit. and there had existed in diff
ferent forms for many years prior
to the war both political and eco
nomic organizations of an interna-
tional character; none of them built
on sound practical basis. The old
Trades Union International estab-
lished for the purpose of disseminat-
ing information to the organizations
affiliated with it of all important
happenings in the Labor world, with
headquarters in Berlin, and perform
ing its functions through an Inter
national Secretarat, is dead. 1t
was constructed too loosely and held
together by too flimsy threads, it
fell apart at the first real storm
it encountered-the war. The So
cialist International, as far as real
effectiveness is concerned, is also
dead. There is not sufficient space
here to deal with it's many fallacies
and its unfair basis of representa-
ton designed by the Germans to
keep it under their domination.
However, on the ruins of it may
also be built new Socialist Inter
national that may prove more en-
during. There was considerable dis
cussion of it in Socialist circles while
we were in Europe, although no def
mite steps looking toward that end
have as yet been taken.
The foregoing brief reference to
such movements is merely made to
show that there is no effective in
ternational now in existence. The
recent abortive effort to hold La
Dor Socialist Conference at Stock
holm on basis of representation
created by few self-constituted in
dividuals, proposed to give the Amer
lean Socialist party a representa-
tive for every 1880 members and
to the A. F. of L. one for every
100000. Even had the purpose of
the Conference been sound its basis
of representation could never have
been accepted; this was admitted by
some of it's instigators while we
were in London.
The recommendation of the Mis-
sion, which was adopted by the Saint
Paul Convention (although complete
ly ignored in the report of the self
constituted critic who still labors I'M
der the illusion that the whole social
structure can be revolutionized by
resolution), provides for the estab-
lishment and maintenance of Trade
Union Bureaus for the collection of
and dissemination of all important
information relating to the labor

and to keep his own movement con-
staptly informed on the changing
policies of the movements of the
different countries, made necessary
from time to time to meet the
ever changing conditions. These will
be two of the important functions to
be performed by tbe New lnterna-
tional, although many others OF equal
or lesser importance Will pc pro-
vided for, when the whole plan for
| its creation and maintence is worked
out. as it undoubtedly will be at the

many other things of a preliminary

The Inter-Allied conference to be

constructive plans for carrying into
immediate effect the entire structure
of organization.
Space in the Labor Day edition
is too brief to deal with this sub

show the organized workers of Wash

in process of construction, and one
that will do more than "resolve"-
one that will really function for
the workers, and that will demon
