Late IN August a select group of
labor leaders will leave this country
for tour of industrial Europe, in
Guiding Soviet Russia and fascist Italy,
to get actual first-hand information
as to labor conditions. Men very high
up in American labor circles will make
up the group, which will be a per
sonal mission, and not official.
In addition to first-hand personal OBJ
servation, the commission will also
take along a staff of expert econo-
mists under the direction of DR.. w.
Jet Lauck, long regarded as the
ablest labor economist in the country
by the railroad brotherhoods, the
United Mine Workers and other great
international unions. Honorable Frank
P. Walsh, former chairman of the ma
tional industrial conference board and
later joint chairman with ex-President
Taft of the U. S. war labor board, will
also accompany the party as expert
adviser on legal and political affairs.
The announcement that a commits
sion of the most reputable and respon-
sible labor executives Of this country
expects to visit Russia puts COM
pletely to rest the fears of the execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, expressed at their last
meeting, that radicals in the employ
Of the Soviet government might en-
deavor to stampede American labor
and support a withdrawing commit

Prominent executives of large inter
national unions affiliated with the Am
erican Federation Of Labor, we are in
formed, state that their plans to Sc
cure reliable information concerning
conditions in Russia in no wise con

American Federation Of Labor conven-
ton to send an official delegation TO
Russia at the expense Of the fedora

1t is to be regretted thar in some
localities there still remains a ten
dency to ignore our women workers
who are in every respect vital part
of our trade and can and do prove of
inestimable value in time of trouble
It is a notorious fact that in recent
cases our women members have made
the good fight, putting our men to
shame. They deserve the support Of
their brothers in the craft In their
effort to obtain living wage, in fact,
upon their receiving it will in a large
measure depend the wage and condi-
tions secured for our men. Let us not
deceive ourselves by following a sui
cidal course Of ignoring our women,
we will regret 1t when too late.-The
international Bookbinder.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-08-10

The inconsistency OF the man who
is opposed to the organization of labor,
when he himself depends on HIS daily
wages for support, should be pointed
out to him in the fact that he is ac-
cepting the wages secured thru the
organization Of labor, which are in
advance OF what they would be were
II not for unionism, and that, without
contributing towards the maintenance
OF the union in any way; but, on the
other hand, arraying himself against
HIS fellow workmen and at the same
time against his own interests, and by
accepting the improved conditions
brought about by the organization of
the workers, is obtaining money UNI
der false pretenses." Surely none are
so blind as those who will not see.--

idea as to the most practicable route
to scale Mt. Fairweather would be

He said: at seems to me that II
