An attempt is to be made by the I.W.W. to call an international , conference in order to make arrangements with foreign radical organisations for tho exchange of membership privile ijes. It was brought out at the convention that not only, are tha I.W.W. carrying on propaganda through their revolutionary litorature, but, according to a statement by ono of their organisers, they are attempting to take advantage of . the unrest and discontent v.herever found among the working class to urge an industrial revolution as the only solution of the labour problem. The I.W.W. are making a strong effort to reach . the foreign working class, and at the convention a motion was ixissed that a weekly paper and pamphlet? be printed in the' Croatian lancnage. The chniniwn faid there were 30.000 Croatian .minors in the west they wish to reach.
