SOVIET UNION
QUESTION OF AMERICAN CO-OPERATION. CCNSIDERED BY LABOUR FEDERATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.) NEW YORK, March 16. The American Federation of Labour is considering proposals by British Trade Union leaders that it should drop its long-standing opposition to co-operation with Soviet Trade Unionists. Reporting this, the New York Times” says: “The A.F.L. has adamantly opposed past proposals by the British and French Labour movements to admit Russian unions into the International Federation of Trade Unions. The British unionists’ object is to enable the Labour movements of Britain, the United States and Russia to join in the International. Federation to help the United Nations’ war effort. Informed circles say A.F.L. leaders are favourably considering the proposals because the popular feeling is that every contribution which Labour can make towards victory should be made regardless of ideological differences. A delegation of United States Labour leaders and employers is likely to be sent soon to England, and possibly to Russia, to visit armament plants.
