today it has only some 10 mil
lion members.
THE Versailles peace treaty, the
general offensive of the employers
against the working class in all parts
OF the world, and finally the Dawes
plan, have made the conditions of the
toilers ever worse.
The Amsterdam International how
ever, made no efforts to mobilize the
whole forces Of the international trade
union movement for the struggle
against the attacks of the bourgeoisie.
On the contrary. it considered it its
task to disrupt the international trade
union movement.
Parallel with the attacks of the i'm
perialist states upon the republic of
the Russian workers and peasants, the
attacks of the Amsterdam Trade
Union International against the revo-
lutionary trade unions in all countries
were carried on.
The R. |. L. U. has always strug-
gled for the unity of the international
trade union movement and has regard
ed it as its most important task to
mobilize the forces of the trade union
organized masses for the struggle
against international capitalism. AL
ready at its official inaugural congress
in 1891 this aim was the chief point
in the discussions.
THE second congress of the r. l.
L. U. occupied itself in the first place
With the organization of the revolu-
tionary forces in the international
trade union movement, whilst the
third congress last year concentrated
chiefly upon the reestablishment of
trade union unity
When the Amsterdam Internation-
al Federation of Trade Unions was
formed, only small groups of workers
in the various countries were dissast-
isfied with the reformist policy of the
Amsterdam leaders. In the course of
time, however. strong groups of revo-
lutionary trade unions have formed
themselves in all countries, and today
almost one-third Of the members Of
the International Federation Of Trade
Unions are in the opposition.
"A strong left wing has just been
formed in the Amsterdam Trade
Union International. The present
chairman of the |. F. T. u, the leader
of the English trade unions, Alfred
Purcell is friend of the Russian
unions. He assists the aim Of the
Anglo-Russian unity committee, is in
favor of the afiiliation of the Russian
unions to the |. r. T. u. and supports
the idea of the organization of all
unions in one united international.
Since its existence the Amsterdam
International has been a European In
ternational, whilst the r. |. L. u,
apart from the Soviet Union, counted
the trade union committees OF China
and Java, a few countries in South
America and North Africa, the Balkan
countries. France and Checho- Slovakia
and strong revolutionary minoritites
in all important industrial countries
OF the world amongst its members and
supporters.
The roots of the r. !. l.. U. reach
back to the period before the war
when small troops Of revolutionary
trade unionists existed in Russia,
Germany France, Spain, Italy and in
a few other countries. During the
world war not only the political work
ing class movement was reborn at the
conferences OF zimmerwald and
Kienthal, but also the revolutionary
trade union movement.

istence, the X. !. l.. U. has achieved

Altho the report is written very OBJ
jectively. still one can see clearly
where the sympathies Of this labor
spy lie in the struggle between the
labor union bureaucracy and the left
wing. particularly the Communist
port of the left wing,
II should be pointed out that the
campaign in the A. F. of L. land
other unions to expel the Commun-
lists is reported as the first item Of
importance. The labor takers who
are carrying on this campaign very
evidently see eye to eye with this I'M
