OF the week end conferences at the Board

There had been some trouble in ex-

to the railwaymen and It was now for
the men to decide whether TO ratify the

Mr.. Thomas said that most of the
demands OF the railwsymen had been
conceded In principle and from that
point OF view the negotiations had been
success The, great difference. he
added, was rot between the COZ eminent

BERLIN, March 81 (delayed) .-Eduard
Bernstein. a veteran Independent Social
list leader. has abandoned that party and
has returned to the Majority Socialists
In "a parting greeting 10 the Independent
SocialistS' he admin sters q sharp casti-
cation to that party and scioses the
further details OF it's close alliance with
the Russian Bolsheviki
I'm the spring OF 1918" Herr Bern
stein writes. "a social gathering was
held In the rooms of the Bolshevlk Rus
sian Embassy. members of this en-.
bassy and OF the Independent Socialist
party being present. was invited. al
though ! never concealed my opposition
to the Bolshevik policy, Matters dis
cussed at the meeting included the oues-
ton as to the reason why the Indepen.
dent Socialists did not proceed In a rev.
dictionary manner as the Bolsheviki
demanded. and at the debate which fol.
lowed. Georg Ledebour explained that
the party was unfortunately constituted
In a different manner than the Boil
sheviki."
Herr Bernstein's detection from the
Independent Socialists-although nom.
inally due to the party's recent decision
forbiddirg members to maintain rela-
tionships with any other parties--is
one OF many indications that a large
number OF intellectuals among the indie.
pendent Socialists have been moved tc
resign from that party because OF at.
tacks made upon II by Gustav Noske
the German Minister OF War, and other
national leaders, and by disclosures oil
