24 At a meeting between the Executives of the Second International and the Vienna International in Paris in February 1922, a proposition was accepted to invite the Executive of the Communist International to a Conference in order to examine the possibility of forming an all-inclusive International. Representatives of all three Internationals then met in Berlin in April 1922. A joint committee was established, the so-called Comité des Neuf, but no agreement was reached.

It was held in Hamburg in May 1923 and was attended by 424 delegates representing 43 Socialist parties. The Hamburg Congress adopted the name: Labour and Socialist International for the reconstituted International. It attempted to weld the International into a closely knit union, capable of taking effective international action. By virtue of the powers vested in it, it was possbile for the International to impose obligations upon affiliates. The organs of the International were the Congress, the Executive Committee, the Bureau, the Administrative Committee and the Secretariat. It was pledged by its constitution to maintain close contacts with the International Federation of Trade Unions and, in fact, both Internationals co-operated closely in joint meetings of their Executives and in frequent joint Conferences and actions. The Congress elected Arthur Henderson President of the Executive; Friedrich Adler and Tom Shaw as joint Secretaries. Adler remained as secretary throughout the whole period. London was chosen as the seat for its headquarters; in 1926 they were moved to Zurich, and in 1935 to Brussels.
