II is one Of the most backward nations In
Europe. and thus far there has been some
difficulty in proving to its inhabitants that
riddance of a king did not necessarily
guarantee the millennium.
But whatever the weaknesses OF the new
regime, the bulk of the republic has sue
ceeded in quelling the uprisings, usually
localized in the conservative northern prov
inces watered by the Douro. There are in

NEW AIMS OF LABOR

NONE of the developments at tho Feace
~ Conference has more clearly reflected
opposing trends of thought in Europe and
in America than the friction that has de-
vcloped between the labor forces assem-.
bling abroad for international councils or
ganized to act under the stimulus of the
greater congress at Paris.
Mr.. Gompers and the other representa-.
tives of the American Federation loom
already as the dominant powers for con-
servatism. All labor leaders here and
abroad are committed to n plan for the
internationalization of trade unionism. But
whose ideas are to dominate in this larger
scheme? The British Labor party is op.
posed bitterly to the Bolshevists, and Of
course the American Federation is opposed
bitterly TO the Bolshevists. But the lean
ing Of almost all European trades union.
lists toward socialism has made it. impos-
sible for the American representatives to
cooperate fully with the British trades
unionsts. The American Federation re.
fuses to lend it's aid TO socialistc propa.
ganda
There will be a general conference at
Berne, at which al. classes of labor will
be represented Eren Bolshevist delegates
from Austris md Russia will be there.
But the ntral conference will be held at
Paris and it is likely to be conservative.
The fight for leadership in the formation
of an international labor body probably
| will be waged between Gompers on the one
hand and Arthur Henderson, leader of the
semi socialist British Labor party, on the
other.
Meanwhile the Peace Conference is pre-
pairing TO go to great lengths with a pro-
nouncement on the labor situation 1t
relates TO the whole scheme of modern
civilization. II is generally understood
that the conference will formally enuncate
code for the guidance of industry and
industrial workers.
Apparently the Peace Conference doesn't
intend to make detailed orders for indus
trial regulation. 1t will rather define
| what is right and what is wrong in terms
Of the individual and the man he works
| for. Some such definition would tend to
| give both sides in industrial disputes
| clear conception of their rights and help
| largely to avert the vast economic losses
| OF periodical labor disturbances
