W.F.T.U. Split Over Communism
ROME, May 5. A special committee was set up by the executive bureau of the World Federation of Trade Unions in an attempt to reconcile fundamental differences of policy between nonCommunist delegations and the Soviet delegation and its supporters. The split developed on Monday, when the British, American and Russian delegates clashed on a charge that the Federation’s machinery was being used for Communist ends. The committee recommended that the W.F.T.U. secretary-general (M. Louis Saillant, of France) should renounce his executive post on the French Confederation of Labour and retain only his post in the Federation. This was a concession by the pro-Communist group toward healing the split in the Federation. The president of the Federation (Mr Arthur Deakin) said, however, that there were still tricky problems ahead. __
