ed in. Treaty of Peace Declares
Clemenceau in Lenathy Statement
German Anxietv for Social Jus
tice Not Justified.
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. ....
