INTERNATIONAL LABOR ,
Members of the League of Nations
agree to establish a permanent organi
sation to promote international adjust
ment of labor conditions, to consist of
an annual international labor confer
ence and an international labor office.
The former is composed of four rep
resentatives f each state, two from
the government and one each from the
employers and the emptoyed each of
them may vote Individually.' It will be
a deliberative legislative ' body, its
measures taking the form of draft con
ventions or recommendation for legis
lation, which if passed by two-thirds
vote, must be submitted to the law
making authority in every: state par
ticipating. Each government may either
enact the terms into law ; approve the
principle, but modify them, to local
needs; leave the actual legislation in
case of a federal state to local legis
latures: or reject the convention alto
gether without further obligation.
The International labor office is es
tablished at the seat of the League of
nations as part of its organisation. It
Is to collect and distribute Information
on labor throughout the world and pre
pare agenoa Tor the conference. It will
publish a periodical in French and Eng
lish, and possibly other languages. Each
state agrees to make for- it for presenta
tion to the conference an annual report
of measures taken- to execute accepted
conventions ; the governing body is its
executive committee. It consists of 24
members, 3 representing the govern
ments, six the employers and six the
employes, to serve for three years.
On complaint that, any government
has failed to carry out a. convention to
which it is a party, the governing body
may make inquiries directly to that
government and in case the reply is
unsatisfactory, may publish the com
plaint with comment. A complaint by
one government against another may
be referred by the governing body to
a commission of inquiry nominated by
the secretary general of th leaxue. If
the commission report falls to bring '
satisfactory action, the matter may be
taken to a permanent court of inter-!
national justice for final decision. The
chief reliance for securing enforcement !
of .the law will be publicity wth a pos-l
sibUity of economic action in the back- :
ground. "
The first meeting of the conference:
will take place In October, 1919, atl
Washington, to dlaoura the eight-hour
day or M8-hour week : prevention of
unemployment extension and applica
tion of ths international , conventions
adapted at Berne in 1916 prohibiting
night work for women and the use of
white phosphorus in the manufacture
of matches : and employment of women
and children at night or in unhealthy
work, of women before and after child
birth, including maternity benefit, and
of children as regards minimum age.
LABOR CLAUSES
Nine principals of labor conditions
were recognised on the ground that
"ths well-being, physical and moral, of
the Industrial wage-earners is of su
preme international importance.'' With
exception necessitated by differences
of climate, habits and economic devel
opment, they include: The guiding
principle that labor should' not be re
garded merely a a commodity or arti
cle of commerce ; right of association of
employer and employes; wag ade
quate to maintain a reasonable stand
ard f life; the eight-hour day or 48
hour week : a weekly rest of at least
,24 hours, which should include Sunday
wherever practicable! abolition of child
labor and assurance of the continuation
of tho education and -proper physical
development of children; equal pay for"
equal work ; as between men and
women;' equitable treatment of all
workers lawfully ' resident therein, in
cluding foreigners; and a system of in
spection in wbioh women should take
part, j ......
