BRITISH OWNERS' ATTITUDE
GENEVA, November 29. British shipowners were opposed to j a convention to regulate hours and j manning which does not take account I of rates of pay, said Mr. Ronald Garreit, an Orient Line director, at the Maritime Conference. He argued that the suggested procedure would aggravate the existing disparity between the wages rates of the various maritime nations. Mr. George Reed, on behalf of British seamen, regretted the British owners' attitude, from which the owners of the United States and France dissented. A sub-committee was appointed to proceed with preparations for the full conference. I
remain for a brief time at Dessie, and will then go to the front if the situation permits. The Crown Prince is taking over the Government until his return.
