The American Federation of Labour has eindl to participate in the Inter- national Conference of Trades Unions by the recent Stockholm conference to meet on September 17th in Switzerland. Sammel, Compers, prevident, telegraphed to Mr. Lindquist, prasident of the Stock- hom conference, that the American | Federation "regards all such conferences us' premature and untimely and cap lead | to no good purpose.”

3r. Lindquist said the Switzerland conference was "to discuss the demands

of peace of the trades unione," and had beer called by the Stockholm conference, ut which wer represented Holland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria,

of

We apprehend that a conference auch as is contemplated "would rather place obstacles in the way to democratize the institutions of the world and hazard the liberties and opportunities for freedora. of all peoples. Therefore, the American Federation of Labour, with its 2,500,000 mybers, canot accept invitation to participate in such a conferenct. If an international trade union conference is to be held it should be it a more opportune time than the present or the immediate fiture, and, in any event, the proposal international conference should receive further and more sympathetic considera tion. Shall be glad to continue corres pondence."
