Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Congress of the Red Trade Union International at Moscow, 1921: A Report of the Proceedings by Geo; Williams, Delegate From the I. W. W The following, which is the preliminary report of Fellow Worker Geo. Williams and sent from Berlin has been cut down and contains points not covered in later reports. The reports as made out after the return of Fellow Worker Williams from Russia remain as printed in Industrial Solidarity, Dec. 25, 1921 to Jan. 14, 1922, inclusive, with slight corrections and several insertions. The report follows: When I arrived in Moscow on July 1st I found that I had been preceded by three other fellow workers, acting as delegates from the Metal and Machinery Workers' Industrial Union. I am only acquainted with their surnames. They are Belinkis, Belotin and Calvert. Belinkis and Belotin had credentials issued by the New York District Council of I. W. W. locals. Belinkis and Belotin told me that they, together with Calvert, had been elected by the convention of the Metal and Machinery Workers which was held in Detroit in February of 1921. (I have not sufficient notes with me to give their full explanation and must rely on memory.) However, even though elected as they say by the convention of M. and M. W., General Headquarters would not O. K. their credentials on the ground that the General Convention would send a delegate and also that Hardy was then in Russia and would represent the I. W. W. Calvert, whose credentials I did not see, was, when I arrived in Moscow, on an expedition of some kind about which I will explain when I return home. But I met him shortly before I left, and he tells me the same as the other delegates. He was recording secretary of the Metal and Machinery Convention. I mention the circumstances of these delegates, so you will get a clearer idea or understanding of what will be told later about the Congress of the Red Trade Union International.
