The Significance Of the Declare

THE fact alone that the Representa-

workers, belonging to different inter
nationals and living under different
conditions, found common language
and common view as to the task OF
the international labor movement, Is
an eminently important factor in the
history OF the labor movement.
The bourgeois press understands
very well the danger wnicn arises
from eleven million workers having
found a common aim, the aim OF a
struggle for the unity of the inter
national labor movement. the uni.

RUSSIANS URGE INTERNATIONAL UNITY
CONFERENCE WITHOUT PRE- CONDITIONS

Moscow, May 10. 1926.
TINE foreign commission of the gen.
L eral council of the trades unions
of the Soviet Union have addressed
the following letter to the general
council of the Amsterdam Internation-
al:
Dear Comrades,
The session of the plenum of the
general council, for various reasons
and in consequence of the London
conference between the English trade
unions and the trade unions of the
Soviet Union, could not take place
until the period from the Both Of April
till the Bird of May. The conference
of the trade unions of England and
of the Soviet Union have discussed in
the fullest manner the question Of
general council of the trade unions
Of the Soviet Union to the Amsterdam
International. The plenum of the gen
eral council of the trade unions Of the
Soviet Union approved or the work
and the decisions of the london con-
ference and instructed the foreign
commission to reply.
On the basis of these decisions we
consider it to be our duty to inform
you, that the decision Of the general
council of the Amsterdam Internation-
al of the 7th of February has made a
very profound impression upon our
trade unions. We have thought that
the result of our exchange of letters
would have been a greater mutual
understanding and a meeting of our
representatives with the representa-.
tives of the Amsterdam international
in order to examine together the ques-
ton OF the unity of the trade union
movement, as a first attompt to ar
preach this question in a concretS
manner. In our opinion, this ques
ton is the most important and essen.
tial for the workers of the whole
world. We only wished to achieve S
joint conference between the repre-
SSuldLFcb VI the lIdue uHlOuS Oh INC
Soviet Union and of the Amsterdam
International without pre-conditions.
VOUR resolution rejects our Dropos-
= al and stipulates that the meet
ing can only take place after a previ-
Gus declaration on our side that we
are prepared to affiliate to the Am
sterdam International. This means
afiliation to the Amsterdam Yn,erna-
tional as it is, that is, upon the basis
Of its principles and statutes. Enor-
nous Importance is to be attached to
the declaration of Oudegeest and Jou-
haux, in which this standpoint is con-
firmed. We state with the deepest
regret that these interpretations and
declarations will do even more than
the Amsterdam resolution to sharpen
the differences, but they win IN M
way render more easy the question OF
unity.
We declare once again, that we arr
for the united international. Our aim,
and the aim Of the majority OF tho
/

The Antecedents Of the Conference.
TIME campaign for unity was begun
L by the Red international of Labor
Unions. After long correspondence
with the Amsterdam International, the
latter declared that it was prepared to
enter into negotiations with the ALI
Russian Central Trade Union Council
on condition that the R. l. L. U. should
be excluded from these negotiations.
This ended the first stage of the nego-
tiations.
We saw that the offensive OF capl-
tai continued and that the postwar
achievements of the working class
were in danger of destruction. Every
where political reaction is following
close on the heels of economic reac-
ton. And we believed that we had
no right to seclude ourselves within
our comparatively favorable position.
We have never regarded our revolu-
ton as, in the narrowest sense, a ma
tional revolution. When, in Oct, 1917
we carried out our instruction, We
knew that our revolution was doomed
to defeat unless we had the support
of the workers of Western Europe
And we were right. The English in
PREVENTION in Archangel failed because
the English soldiers, amongst whom
were English workers, refused to fight
against us any longer. The French
Intervention in Odessa was failure,
because on the French iron-clads, the
workers, stuck into naval uniforms,
mutinied, and also because the Eng
fish workers declared with sufficient
emphasis: Hands off Soviet Russiai"
Since the West European proletariat
has given us such support, we cannot
remain passive with regard to them.
UtHEN the black flood of reaction
sI.-will have inundated the whole OIL
Western Europe, and we find our
selves IN a fascist environment, that
will not be a matter of indifference for
the fate of the Soviet Republic. 1t is
this circumstance which compels us to
pursue, not a national but an inter.
national labor policy, under the ban
ner under which our revolution gained
the victory. On the other hand, we
take into consideration and grasp the
fact that the interests of the West
European working class demand the
utmost concentration of forces.
After the well-known resolution OF
the Vienna Congress, our relations to
the Amsterdam International entered
on a new phase. l have said repeat
edly that the correspondence which
took place in this period resembles a
petty bourgeois penny-dreadful, the
popularity of this story being that i,
does not in the usual way end with
marriage and happiness; our romance
could not end with such a marriage
as no Amsterdam bride consented to
meet the Moscow bridegroom.
The condition laid down was thai
we recognize the resolutions of the
Vienna Congress. We on our part re
piled that we wished to discuss in
common the questions relating to the
restoration of international trade
union union unity, but without any
preliminary conditions. We cannot in
advance bind ourselves to any resolu
tons, in the passing of which we in
no way participated.
The tactics Of the Amsterdam Inter
national prove, that, at a time wher
the imperialist blockade already be
longs to the realm of history, the
trade union blockade is obviously
continued by the leading circles Of tn,
Amsterdam International.

class conscious workers Of the world,
is the creation of q united inferno
tional of the trade union organized
workers OF all countries who stand
upon the basis of the class struggle
for the final emancipation Of the
working class from the capitalist
yoka. In comparison with this great
aim, the question Of the statutes is
of subordinate Importance. The trade
unions Of the Soviet Union are pre-
pared to affiliate to a trade union In
ternational whose statutes would not
differ very widely in the main from
the statutes OF the Amsterdam IDtar-
national. The enumeration OF the
aims OF this united international could
contain all the aims set forth in the
statutes of the Amsterdam Interna-
tional. The trade unions OF the So.
Wet Union, however, have had no
possibility of participating in the
drawing up of the statutes Of the
Amsterdam International.
ITTE are of the conviction that q
w united trade union international
should embrace, not only the trade
unions of the Soviet Union, but an
those who are at present not af1ils
ated to the Amsterdam international.
In order to achieve this, full regard
must be had to the differences and
traditions of the historical develop
ments and political peculiarities of al
countries.
How is this to be realized? How Is
the existing mistrust between the
various sections Of the divided trade
union movement to be overcome with.
out personal contact and all-aroUnd
concrete examination of these inn
portant questions?
The mutual acquaintance Of tho
representatives of the trade union
movements Of England and of tn
Soviet Union, the mutual desire Car
common methods, for common lang
tage for the realization of tho mutual
iy sincere efforts for trade unieS
unity, will doubtless bring about vary
good results. The recent London con
ference undoubtedly promoted the
strengthening OF proletar1an soliaar
ity between the workers of England
and Of the Union Of Soviet Republics.
In the same way, a meetiDg of thn
representatives OF the trade unions Of
the Soviet Union, and OF the Anster-
dam International, provided there ex
listed mutual good will, could serve az
the commencement for the realization
Of the unity of the whole trade union
movement.
We therefore consider it desirable
if the general council would revise
the decision Of the executive of 9Th
T. 7th of February. anG would con.
vens together with tho general cOun-
ell Of the trade unions OF the Soviet
Union, a conference without prc-con-
ditions, to discuss the question Of the
unity of the trade unions.

BODY OF ASA Tiff
FOUND AT ALBANY
NEGRO WORKMAN DISCOVER
ED 1T FLOATING DOWN THE
RIVER NEAR BRIDGE.

ALBANY, Ga.-Funeral services
for Asa Tiff, drowned two weeks ago
in the food waters of Kinchafoonee
creek, and whose body was found in
Flint river Saturday were held at St,
Paufs Episcopal church Sunday al
ternoon.
The body was seen by a negro
workman floating down Flint river
near the bridge.
Asa Tiff, who was u years of age,
lost his life in vain attempt to save
that OF his brother VIII, is the belief
of those who have studied the meager
obtanable details OF the tragedy. Two
weeks ago the brother LETT home to
try the swollen waters OF the creek
and river with a light canoe. They
had been down the canal to the river
and had returned to the creek when
the tragedy occurred Water was pour
ing over the dam and spillway in the
creek almost in a level sheet. The drop
was only about two and half feet.
According to the best account OBJ
tainable Asa got out OF the canoe
while Will attempted to shoot the
falls. The boat capsized, and Asa
plunged in to try to save his brother.
Both lost their lives in the treacher
Gus whirlpool below the dam
The boat was found few days ago
many miles down the river, but con-
slant search for the bodies was not
rewarded until today. The body OF
Will Tiff has not yet been recovered.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. w. Tit parents
OF the brothers, survive them, while
Asa is also survived by a young wife
and seven months old baby boy.
Their father, grandfather and great
grandfather have all been mayors OF
Albany, and their great grandfather,
Colonel Nelson Tiff, was the city's
founder.
