THE International Labor Office
UL.O.) of the notorious League
of Nations not only perpetuates
wage slavery, but plain ordinary
slavery, which it politely terms
forced labor" There was once so
much complaint about it that since
1924 the LILO. has been "investi-
eating" After years and years it
finally decided that it was a tough
question, so instead Of abolishing
slavery, it passed some motions ad-
vising that imperialist powers should
regulate" it. And the imperialist
powers at once said they would do
just as they please and the LILO.
can go to hlazes-which Albert
Thomas, of the LILO, hoped and
knew they would say. The article
on this is most interesting.
THE R,I.L.U. has a policy on Con-
sumers' Cooperatives, and we
wonder how many Communists know
what it is. In the R.I.L.U. magazine
a thorough treatment is given of the
"Role of Consumers Cooperatives
During Economic Disputes" This is
a matter in which workers coopera-
tives in this country are far from
satisfactory, and direction on this
might help to clear up their general
line, in which opportunism is rife.
THE struggle now going on inside
sport movement in favor of in
dependent working class sport and
against capitalist beguilement of
workers in company-union sports,
proves that the sense of class feel
ing is growing among workers in
terested in sports. The R.IL.U. de-
sires that there should be the closest
possible cooperation between its
trade unions and workers sport or
CARNATIONS, so the latter may take
active part in struggle against en-
ployers. This is of much Importance
in the U. S. where corporations use
sports to keep young workers, espe-
cially, from organizing and striking.
now many members of the new
!" unions of the Trade Union Unity
League know of the importance of
the Second Plenum of the Central
Council of Trade Unions of the So
Wet Union? 1t was held from May
81 to June 8. Have the papers of
the new unions given this attention?
The R.I.L.U. to which they are affi-
lated gives it about six pages, ex-
planning: the place in the world
trade union movement occupied by
the trade unions of the U.S.S.R.,
the issue of the Five Year. Plan;
what the unions relation with this
plan are, the right" deviation in
the unions, how they will apply the
Plan, the fight against leadears who
waver before huge tasks, and many
other points.
THE Tactics of RIL.U. Support
ers in India" is advised as an
article which not only analyses the
Indian labor movement, but which
gives directions that will count for
much in days to come. "The Struggle
for Social Equality for Negroes in
the South" by Jack tombstone, an
article on the Mexican trade unions,
an account of the split in the Phi
lippine unions, an article on the
Australian Labor Movement which
receals a very important develop
ment, and an account of the split
in the Foodworkers International, go
to round out an issue of great i'm
portance for all militant unionists
to study in the RI.L.U. official or
gan, obtainable through the Trade
Union Unity League.-H. G.
