The decision of the Amsterdam Socialiit International not to meet

the Russian trade unionists is a snub for the - General Council of the- British Trade Union Congress. It will he interesting to- see what the British leaders will do next, for they are under a pledge to try to bring Moscow and Amsterdam together in any case. On Tuesday they sounded the trade unionists of Berlin about a special Conference, but apparently reeeivnd no encouragement. The Continental trade unions will evidently have nothing to do with Communism.
