Labors of the Amsterdam international

fur began to fly. The business af-
fairs of the International are actually
carried out by Oudegeest, with some
assistance by Sassenbach. But the
British who form the biggest section
of the International will not hear of
the withdrawal of the British secre-
tary, Brown. Sassenbach, moreover,
has definitely stated that he will in
no event agree to act as assistant
secretary. At the last meeting of the
bureau (25-26 April an agreement
was arrived at on this question ac-
cording to the official report, but it
is not yet known who is to be sacri-
feed on the altar of economy.
THINGS became still worse when
the question of cutting down the
secretaries salaries was brought for
ward. Oudegeest refuses to take less
than 10000 guldens a year and the
members of the Bureau are afraid to
insist, for Oudegeest in order to be-
come secretary of the International
IS1uSeu q oCdI III Vic DutSH 4 aAAA"-
ment, from which his accruements
would have been much greater.
WHAT was to be done? The Meth
w erlands Federation of Trade Unions
suggest to raise the dues in the
international from II to 18 guldens
per 1000 members. This suggestion,
however, has met with determined re-
sistance. The Austrians and the
Swiss have already definitely declared
that membership dues cannot be
raised; the British, whose financial
affairs are at present anything but
brilliant, also to refuse to agree to
this; the French membership fees are
as it is difficult to collect, and they
cannot possibly pay more.
A great struggle went on behind the
IA scenes with regards to the altera-
ton of the Internationals headquar-
tiers. At the previous meeting of the
Bureau the question of its transfer
ence to a more central country was
discussed. The whole labor press I'M
hesitatingly interpreted this as an in
tention to transfer the Internationals
headquarters to Berlin, to which the
Germans whose influence in the In
ternational is ever on the increase,
have long aspired. The British and
the French, however, were against
this. 1t appears their argument won
the day. At the last session of the
National Council of the reformist
General Confederation of Labor in
France Jouhaux declared that the
headquarters of the international
would remain in Holland.
THE official reports of the Interna-
tional are generally speaking mea-
gre and terse. Most of our informa-
ton on the Misunderstanding and
complication going on in the Interna-
tional has been gained from the left
socialist press paul Levy's paper,
the organ of the Swiss Federation of
Trade Unions and others), so daring
as to criticise Oudegeest's economy
and endeavor to mend matters. Even
the most favorable criticism, however,
angers the Amsterdamites. They have
not the slightest desire to carry their
difficulties into the open, for the judg-
ment of their working class members,
hoping to smooth everything over in
camera. But truth will out and the
crisis in the Amsterdam International
is already being shouted from the
roof-tops.

was paralleled a hundred and
twelve years ago, according to
writer in September, 1915:
II address you on a subject

here. and probably the same diff
ficulty exists In other parts of the
United States: this is the irregu-
larity and diversity of time
There is no common standard,
and every district is regulated by
a clock of its own The differ
ence between the time in Boston
and the villages about it is al
ways considerable, and in some
instances it varies upwards of
half an hour. There is this diff
ference at least between Salem
