BY ASSOCIATED PHESS, May 15. .Germany has met with another re buff from the council of four of the peace conference In the effort her plenipotentiaries at Versailles are making to secure alterations .In the peace treaty by setting forth otrjec tlons in a 'series ot notes. The council has refused to consider the note sent by the Germans regard ing international labor legislation, and in a lengthy note states the rea sons why such consideration Is not given.. PARIS, May 15. The council of four bas declined to consider the note from Count Von Brockdorff Itantzau, chief of the German peace mission, relative to International la bor legislation. In a note sent to the German delegation today, M. Cle menceau says:; 'Sir: I have the honor to acknow ledge receipt of your letter of May 10 in regard to International labor leg islation, together with a draft of an international ,,! agreement on labor law. The reply of the allied and as sociated governments is as follows: "They take note of thoIeclsration made by the German delegates that domestic peace and the advancement of mankind depend upon the adjust ment ot the labor question and they are convinced that such adjustment will be rendered easier in the future than in the past, as men's minds are freed from the fear ot war, and in dustry Is relieved of the 'burden of armameats which German militarism bad Imposed upon it. "Part XHI ot the draft of the con ditions of peace provides a means by which such adjustments can be made, and section If of this part of the draft lays down the principles which will progressively guide the labor or ganization and the League ot Na tions. Artiole 427 indicates clearly that the enumeration of the princi ples set forth is not exhaustive. The purpose of the labor organization is that It should promote the constant development of the international labor regime. - ' "The draft of the international agreement on labor law, prepared by the German government is deficient in that it makes.no provision tor the representation of labor at the inter national conference which is pro posed. It is also interior to the pro visions submitted in part XIII of tho peace conditions in the following re spects: ' - "(a) Five years is suggested as a maximum interval between confer ences. (Article VII). The peace con ditions one year. ' "(b) Each country has one vote. (Article VII) The peace conditions give a vote to each delegate, whether representing a government, employ ers or workers. (Article 390.) SocUtl Justice, "(c) Resolutions are only bind ing if carried by a majority ot four fifths of the voting countries. (Arti cle VII). The peace conditions pro vide that a majority of two-thirds only of the votes cast shall be neces sary on the final vote for the adop tion of a recommendation or the draft of a convention by the confer ence. (Article 405.) "The allied and associated govern ments are therefore of the opinion that their decisions give satisfaction to the anxiety which the German delegates profess for social justice, and insure the realization of roform.s which the working classes have more than ever a right to expect aftor tho cruel trial to which tho world has been subjected during the lust fivo years. . - "Accept, sir, etc. ....
