WORKERS’ COMPENSATION. THE GENEVA DELIBERATIONS. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright GENEVA, June 7. (Received Jtmo 7, at 11.5 p.m.) Tho international conference rejected the project put forward by convention for a weekly stoppage in the glass industry for recreation purposes by one vote only, at which the workers’ group became incensed. The convention for the proposal for workers’ compensation passed its first reading. The constitution provides that if a two-thirds majority is secured for a first reading it is within the competence of the conference to decide there and then to take a final vote. The workers’ group, rankling under the earlier defeat, decided to press for the second and final reading. Much argument followed, and it was eventually decided to take the final vote on Monday. It is clear that many of the Government and Employers’ representatives voted for the first reading, believing that the final adoption would not be voted on till next year. They ate now organising their forces to secure its final rejection on Monday.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
