strikers on January al last. is quoted
as saying:

up and sit down to work. The reason
I am not telling that to them 10 be-

American workers have not as yet

to the factory with music and nag

there was no strike, Shiplacoff aroused
his audience to wild enthusiasm by ex-
claiming:
IF the workers were ready and
sensible enough to take over the control
Of industry would tell them to do 1t,

In all industries. and you could call me

1.-THE flame OF rebellion is burning
fierccr every day In the hearts OF all OF
the men in the clothing industry. This
flame was kindled right here In America
In the sweat shops This confIagration
will not be put out by the employment
OF guards, shyster lawyers or by inJunc-

A few days before, at another strikers
meeting, Schlossberg, first telling the
men that real industrial revolution Is
not carried out by any Improvement In
conditions. which may be taken away
again, but by the conscious organlza-

standing of the ultimate aim OF the labor

Strikes are not won by what is gem
orally known as public opinion. created
by the capitalist press, but by the
strength OF the organized workers them

 The first business of the confer ence will be to settle questions of procedure and publicity-how and to what extent it's decisions will be communicated to the public. After the opening sessions, the meetings will probably be held in St. James palace.
 The government has throughout mite programme owing to the many difficult problems needing discuss sion. Some of these, it is clear, will have to be left for subsequent con- ference. This is especially the case with the question or armaments until it Is seen what, if any, international action is taken on this subject. It is probable that the foremost sub ject for discussion will be the Anglo Japanese alliance. A decision in this matter must be reached without de . lay as the treaty comes to an end In July.
 Other important questions are closer cooperation in foreign policy and improvement is communications between all parts of the empire.

It's functions primarily will consist In expediting rail and water traffic by assisting purchasers and sellers of both coun- tries in the selection of the most ad- vantageous routes of transportation
 The present plans include direct water communication with Petrosrad. thus eliminating the necessity of re- shipment by way of Reval, through which the major part of Russias commerce has passed for some time.
 Although half of the new company's stock is owned by the Hamburg American line it is purposed to re- cruit the German north sea and Baltic sea shipping lines to its serv- ice. the Russian government having guaranteed the personal safety of German crews and otherwise indt- cated it's willingness to extend the new enterprise every possible ac- modation.

Rr Assnciated Press

London, June 19.-A dispatch 10 the Daily Herald from Moscow says Leon Trotzky, the bolshevik war minister. addressing the congress of communist women at Moscow, de- c,ared world revolution is less prob able than 1t seemed to be two years ago. Trotzky said that only in Rus sa had the proletariat gained and held power as a result of the war. Elsewhere the fall of dynastics merely made room for bourSeoise dictatorships.
 It was a sorry fact, Trotzky Is quoted as saying, that the least ad- vanced section of the proletariat were pronounced revolutionary, while those more developed showed careful, almost conservative temper. It was the task of the third interna- tionale, he declared. to stiffen the revolutionary morale.
 Some illusions regarding the i'm minence of world revolution. Trotz- ky said, had had to be buried. The revolutionists were moving more slowly. but nevertheless they were gaining in strength all the time.

 Reports received today by our committee indicate that con- ditions throughout the country in the steel industry are the worst in many years, and thousands of work CTS are out of employment. The United States Steel corporation plants are only operating from 30 to 35 per cent of their capacity.
 At the first encouraging sign of improvement however, the committee will be called together and the ac- tive campaign immediately launched Funds are available and no time will be lost in getting the work under way"
 The council discussed wage reduc- tions In the steel mills, MT, Harmon said, and decided that another at- tempt at wage reductions would prob ably result in the committee throw ing its resources into the fight to help the workers"
 Plans for educational work" among the steel workers, he ex- plained, had been worked out by the council, and within few weeks bureau might be opened in one of the steel centerS.
