The movement of certain British trade unionists to bring about
a united international trade union With Moscow as the predominant partner has once more been checked. At the meeting of the General Council of the International Federation of Trade Unions at Amsterdam last week the voting went decisively against the British proposal for an unconditional conference with the Russian unions. Clearly the Continental trade unions will have no part or lot in the Bolshevist policy of using the trade unions as agents of. revolution. Little more ought to be heard of this foolish proposal. The small! chance that it might succeed was obliterated last year when Tomsky outraged the whole British Trade Union Congress by sending his insulting denunciation of the General -Council —a message which was described- by the Council as "an intolerable- interference with British trade Union affairs."
