LABOURS NEW POLICY. (Received 1 p.m.i LONDON, August 0. The ''Standard" states that the Labour party is on the eve of an important change in fiscal policy. A private meeting of the party unanimously approved of the proposal to boycott and prohibit (sweated goods entering Britain. If the party's full conference in September adopts the proposal it becomes settled policy. The committee appointed to investigate fiscal questions recommends that goods produced by workers working longer hours than the Washington Convention allows, be regarded as sweated and prohibited from entering the countries which signed the convention. The committee bol'rvcs that the warning would be salutary, and would result in raising the status of the Work' era in the offending countries, thereby eliminating unfair competition.-—-"Sun."
