The charge against Annenkoff is that, from the beginning of the rev- olution, he fought at the head of d tachments which he organized him self to overthrow the Soviet power. Besides, Annenkoff ‘is charged with having committed mass murders of representatives of the Soviet power and private citizens during all his ecunter-revolutionary activities. General Denissoff. While retreating with Koltchak’s army, Annenkoff committed numer- ous acts of violence on the population of the places he crossed. After cross- ing the Chinese frontier, Annenkoff ‘was arrested in March, 1921, by the Chinese authorities at Urumchi and put into prison. After his release, Amnenkoff settled in a Chinese town, where he became a stud-owner.

Maurer. The delegation has met every morn- ing at 10:30 and has spent almost 2 hours in discussing the situation in England and Russia. Most of the rest of the day has been spent in reading, including “Poison” Ivy Lee’s book on Russia and Stuart Chase’s latest book, Your Money’s Worth. Planning of the work to be done is getting down to specific details. British Tour Planned. The last three days of this week will be spent in England and Scotland, visiting labor, cooperative and Labor Party offices. On invitation from the International Federation of Trade Unions, the delegation will attend the closing session of the biennial conven- tion in Paris and will meet with the executive. The schedule calls for brief visits in Brussels, The Hague, and Amster- dam, with informative visits to the Ruhr Valley—the industrial heart of Germany, and to Berlin, and then into Russia for a month of intensive study.

The first real signs of a definite break started at the end of last year when the militants drafted rules per- mitting the Communists to enter the Labor Party. The “political” wing countered with rules to exclude the Communists. Then the militants or- ganized a conference which they claimed was the official yearly con- ference of the Labor Party, but this was repudiated by the “political” wing of the party. Premier a Militant. The Labor premier (Mr. Lang), one member of the Labor ministry and several members of the Labor Party in parliament sided with the militants, but 8 other members of the cabinet and about 35 members of the Party in parliament took up the op- posing attitude. * 5 The Federal Labor Executive issued an ultimatum ordering the militants back to the official movement under pain of expulsion. There the matter stands at pres- ent. The militants have issued a statement defying the federal execu- tive’s ultimatum and will probably now set up a new Labor Party, con- sisting of unionists and Communist supporters and other radicals at pres- ent excluded from the official Labor Party by the, pure: parliamentarians. Labor Party Count. +At the triennial conference of the Australian federal Labor Party, held at the Australian federal capital city (Canberra) on May 11-16, a new scheme was adopted for the organiza- tion of the political and industrial sections of the Australian Labor Par- ty. The scheme is intended to replace the existing Labor Couneils and the A, L. P. which, it is contended, di- vide the workers into two bodies. Provision is made in the new scheme for an interstate Dispute Committee and a federal executive, financed by the affiliated member- ship in each of the six states. The federal executive is to have the power to send delegates to oversea confer- ences, The new scheme is based largely on what has been in opera- tion in the State of Western Austra- lia for the last 20 years, where there jis only one body known as the Aus-| tralian Labor (Federation, covering | |both the industrial and political wings ‘of the Labor Movement. | } es Mistreated. | In asking for the appointment of | la royal commission to investigate the | present position of, aboriginal tribes | in Australia, representatives of scien- | jtifig, missionary, and welfare organi- jzations told the federal government | # jthat the native blacks in Northern | Australia were being treated in al | shameful manner.
