REGARDING WEMBLEY.
LABOUR PROPOSAL REJECTED. Bv Telegraph—Press Association- *7«nyri»ht Router's Telegrams. (Received May 1, Noon.) LONDON. April 30. The Standing Committee in the House of Commons, dealing with tlie Bill increasing the Government guarantee in collection with "Wembley Exhibition, to £1,900,0(30 rejected a Labow* amendment compelling fair wages to be paid to persons employed at the Exhibition by the operation of a fair wages clause and providing for an industrial court to decide any dispute. Sir John Cunliffe Lister disclaimed hostility to the amendment but said it was impossible to accept it at present, owing to the conditions of some contracts which contained a fair wage clause, and it was included wherever new contracts were made. The Government had gone out of its way to approach the colonial authorities to get them to take the same course.
