CONDEMNED AS UNWARRANTED

Thomas, employers delegate'to the International Labour Conference at Geneva, is conferring with Mr Charles Crofts (employees delegate) concerning the advisability or reporting upon the futility of Australia sending delegates to such conferences. Mr Thomas said: "I realise that Australian labour conditions are so tar ahead of those of other nations that Australia is unable to consider uniform international labour codes without retrogression, which is too ludicrous and serious for consideration. Personally I intend straightforwardly to inform the Government that the sending of an Australian delegation unwarranted and a waste of money.
