Washington. d. c., Nov. 9.-Fol.
lowing Immediately upon the heels
of the issuance of an appeal for sup
port by the red trade union inter-
national Of Moscow the, Interna-
tional Labor News Service has come
into possession Of the official Soviet
description of it's propaganda. ma
chine and methods.
w. z. Foster is again identified in
this document with the Soviet prop
uganda machine under Moscow d.
rection. International LABOR News
Service alrec dy has shown Fosters
direct connection with the Soviet
propaganda machine, but this is ad
ditiOnal evidence of Importance.
The appeal just issued by the red
labor intern;~ ional from Moscow is
addressed specifically to members of
the I. w. w. in the United States.
In this appeal tie executive commit
tee OF the red labor international
Chides the I. w. w. representative,
ELL Williams for his expression Of
views at the first congress of the red
labo" International. Thereupon the
official viewpoint Of the executive
committee of the red international is
set forth as follows:
1--WE stand for the union of revo-
lutionary elements with the masses
Of the labor examinations already
existing. This would help the labor
ing classes to realize the idea of a
united front against their blood
thirsty encmy-against American
Capitalism"
This is the most recent official
Moscow statement of the policy Of
boring from Within" advocated by
Foster. In the plan Of organization
it is set forth that the red labor in
ternatiOnal was organized abroad by
trades, such as metal workers. tex
tile workers, wood workers, etc, lin
order to avoid making the propa-
ganda apparatus too unwieldy and
complicated, there being already 80
international secretariats abroad
1t is stated that FOR the purpose
OF intensifying propaganda special
propaganda committees have been
formed in connection with each
trade The statement gives the list
OF those who participated in draw
ing up the regulations for the execu-
tive committee governing world pro-
paganda work. Fosters name leads
the list Of four from the United
States who participated on that COM
mittee.
Perhaps the Importance with which
the Soviet officers view propaganda
work in the United States may be
judged from the fact that out of
nide foreign representatives who
were members Of the committee, four
were from this country.
In order to set forth without con-
fusion the method of working the
statement deals only with organiza-
ton work among metal workers and
wood workers. Under these two
headings the official soviet expla-
nation Of the method of conducting
world propaganda is as follows:
