Russian-called Stockholm peace' con ference '';The formal call summarizes the purpose "to organize a world union to consider means to end the war, and eliminate imperialism." ' Labor troubles are increasing. Factory employes struck because the employers refused to grant a six hour day, and to give men and wom en equal wages and to grant the miners', demnnd for a two hundred per cent-increase. Russian socialist leaders declared the impelling motive for ..calling the Stockholm conference was to oust German, socialists from the interna tional party unless they subscribe to the' doctrine that Kaiscrism must go. Restoration of Alsace Lorraine is not annexation but justice according to a resolution congress delegates from the front adopted. Such a pro gram doesn't r'.m contrary to the Rus sian peace platform.
