POWERS OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. LONDON, Aug. 27. The Permanent Court of International Justice ha 3 affirmatively answered the question submitted from the League of Nations’s Council for an advisory opinion whether the League’s labour organisation was competent to propose legislation which, while protecting the interest of workers, incidentally regulated the same work done by the employers. The question arose from the 1925 convention, which prohibited night work in. bakeries. The court said the organisation was not called upon to deal with the work of employers generally, which was not claimed by the labour office, but only insofar as the work done: by the employer was the same as that of the worker.
