international Press Correspondence. }
MOSCOW, u. s. s. R., March 10 (By
Mail) 1.-THE discussion upon the re-
ports of Losovsky and Min were con-
tinued in the third and fourth sessions
of the enlarged executive bureau Of
the Red International of Labor Unions.
Vitkovsky (Poland), who spoke upon
the tasks of the leaders of the revolu-
tionary trade union movement, pointed
TO two fundamental tasks on the ques-
ton of the return of those workers
who had left their trade unions and
on the question of unemployment
These were the two fundamental prob
lens facing the revolutionary opposi-
tion Of Losovsky and the line for the
struggle for unity.
Merker of Germany was of the opin-
ion that the factory councils should
be more firmly connected with the
trade unions and should not represent
Q parallel competing organization.
Irish Problems.
Carney Qreland) pointed to the diff
Gcult situation of the Irish proletariat.
The tactics OF the reformists had led
10 the splitting of the Irish Transport
end General Workers Union. He
pointed further to the insufficient sup
port given by the revolutionary trade
union organizations to the recent sea-
mems strike and stressed the neces-
eity Of a more decided struggle on the
part of the English proletariat against
khe capitalists.
Kohn (Czecho-Slovakia) stressed the
pecessity Of the work inside the chris
Eian and nationalist trade unions and
demanded that greater attention
should be paid to the unemployed
movement and the connection of it
with the trade union movement.
On Unity.
Assistant Secretary Min, in his clos
ing speech, occupied himself with the
question of the struggle against the
defeatist tendencies, which had showed
themselves in Jugo-Slavia and in
France during the course of the fight
for unity. Unity may not be regarded
as an end in itself, but as a means for
organizing the broadcast masses of the
workers for the struggle against, CAPT
talism.
He stressed once again that the
greatest possible attention should be
paid to the questions of the transfer
nation of the trade unions to the in
dustrial union principle, to the prob
lens of strike strategy and to the
work amongst the members of trade
unions of all possible colors.
The speaker declared that there
were no serious differences of opinion

The electrical workers and carpen-

Heating contractors turnout their

the work, offered to give steamitters
