was stated that il the CLIO had been
told by the TUG that 1t was their
duty TO get back into the AFL, this
would have helped the ALL to
bring about resumption Of peace
negotiations. The AFL said that
they had never expected to be
asked to include Representatives of
the CLIO in the joint committee with
the TUG.
Regarding the Railroad Brother
hoods, the AFL asserted that their
combined membership Is no more
than 4O,OOO-compared with the
membership of 100000 in AFL
railroad unions"
Giving further details on the
AFL's reply TO the TUG, the re-
port says: "It was alleged that
the TUG was asking the AFL
TO continue the divisions within
the American labor movement. II
the AFL acceded to the tues re-
quest, It was said, the prestige of
the CLIO and and the Brother
hoods would be increased. After
this the TUG continued to exert
the utmost pressure to secure
reversal of the AFL's attitude,
but without success.
"In February of this year a TUG
delegation contacted the Clio and
the Brotherhoods and explained
that while the TUG recognized that
the question of American represen-
tation was one for the AFL to de-
eide, they had nonetheless repeat
eddy and publicly expressed their
desire for inclusion of the CLIO and
Brotherkoods.

Second Front

Referring TO the draft declara-
ton presented by the Soviet dele
cation for publication" the TUG
report says: Apart from minor
amendments, the two principal
matters which the British delega-
ton felt unable to accept were:
declaration that the creation OF
a second front on the European
continent was imperative this year,
and the Soviet proposal to extend
the committee TO embrace the trade
unions of North and South Amer
lea and the occupied countries.
"As agreement was not reached
on the major points-the second
front and extension of the commit
tee-it was decided that the pro-
posed declaration should not be
published until the matter had been
considered by the TUG general
council"

LEGATION of Citrine's report to the
TUG convention in Southport, Eng
land, which quoted AFL propa-
ganda against the CLIO and tried
to explain away the blocking of
international unity on the ground
that the TUG had TO accept the
AFL's point of view.
The Citrine report was made
In connection with the July meet
ing of the AnglO-SOviet Trade
Union Committee, In which the
Soviet delegation was sharply
critical of the failure to include
all b0na-fide unions Of the United
Nations In world labor unity.
Earlier in the year, following
Citrine's visit to this country, CLIO
President Philip Murray told a
group of foreign newspaper CORES

appointed with the attitude of TUG

the Amalgamated Textile Workers,
BARRIERS. Electrical, Radio and Ma

Work among Italian-Americans,

all "pre-Pearl Harbor fascists,"
and aid 10 victims of Italian fas-

practical course open to the TUG
is to continue its collaboration with
the AFL. through its joint COM
mittee, pending establishment Of
better relationship between
American organizations which, 1t
is hoped, will ultimately permit
the collaboration we originally set
out to achieve"
Turning to the July meeting of the
Anglo-Scviet trade union commit
tee, the report states: "At the first
session Sir Walter Citrine gave a
detailed description of the attempts
TO induce the AFL to participate
in an Anglo-Soviet-American trade
union committee.
The reasons underlying the de-
cision of the TUG general council
to accent the AFL's proposal for
the formation of an Anglo-Ameri-
can trade union committee, and
subsequent efforts to widen the
body TO include the CJO and
Brotherhoods, were fully explained.
At the June % session a draft res
olution was agreed upon, express
ing regret at the failure of the
ALL TO support the proposals and

secure collaboration with American

delegation by Nikolai ShveTnlk,
secretary of the All-Union Council
Of Trade Unions.
Strong criticism of the TUG gen.
eral council for its stand on inter-
national labor unity will be forth
coming at the convention from a
number of Britain's most powerful
unions. The following resolution,
proposed by Bryn Roberts, secre-
tary of the National Union Of Pub
lie Employees-who visited the U.
s. last year and attended the Clio
convention in Boston-has the sup
port of the miners, engineers and
railwaymen:
"The TUG believes that the con-
tinued absence Of effective col
liberation between the allied
trade union movements will have
tragic consequences for the work.
ers and is of the opinion that
despite old prejudices and past
failures, new and energetic ef-
forts should be made to insti-
tute such collaboration.
1.-THE Congress accordingly re-
quests the general council again to
take the initiative by inviting rep
resentatives of the Soviet trade
unions, AFL, CLIO, Railroad Bro
therhoods, CTAL, Dominions' labor
movements, trade union groups OF
the occupied countries and from

TUG Report

Tracing the course of recent JIM
ternational labor unity negotia-
tions, the TUG general councils
report states: EARLY this year a
meeting was held in the U. S. with
a view to setting up an Anglo
American trade union committee
representative of American labor as
a whole. Despite all efforts, we
were unable to obtain any measure
of agreement on this question OF
representation among the Ameri-
can trade union organizations them
selves, and we accordingly formed
a Joint TUC-AFL committee.
1.-THE TUG general council did
not believe. when accepting the
original proposal of the ALL for
formation of an Anglo-American
trade union committee Tin July
1922, that our request for inclu-
sion of the CLIO and Railroad
Brotherhoods would be refused.
The request was made repeatedly
by letter and cable and ii came as
a shock to the TUG to learn that
the AFL had decided not to invite
other labor bodies.
Following protests from the
CLIO and Railroad Br0therh0Ods
last summer, a cable was sent to
Mr.. Green urging that these
bodies be included out Of respect
for the TUG. BY the time the
TUG met at Blackpo0l In Sep
tember 1912 no reply had been
received. After the BlackpOOl
conference a letter was sent 10
the AFL again appealing for in
clusion of all groups. No ade-
quate reply was received and the
TUG felt 1t had been placed In an
embarrassing position.

AFL VS. Unity

1.-THE AFL reply stated that they
were ready to discuss peace with
the CLIO but that only recently,
after pressure had been brought 10
bear on the CLIO, had it been pos
sible to secure agreement for OPEN
ing unity negotiations. The exact
membership of the CLIO is I'M
known, and the AFL estimated the
CLIO membership to be no more
than two and a quarter million.
