Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright.
GENEVA, June 1-1
The Labor Conference is likely to adopt two important conventions, one relating to compulsory sickness insurance for workers and domestic servants, syid the other relating to agricultural workers. The employers have notified that they will abstain from voting on the draft conventions; but the workers’ group, while considering them far from satisfactory, will vote for them.
Mention was frequently made in the debates of the work of the Australian Royal Commission, and the opinion was expressed that if the convlntions were adopted they would he valuable in any action contemplated by the Australian Government.
The discussion at the plenary sessions indicated a general desire for a universal scheme of sickness insurance.
