REVISION OF EIGHT HOURS CONVENTION TO BE DISCUSSED.
GENEVA LABOUR BUREAU TO HEAR BRITISH VIEWPOINT. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received April 30, 12 noon. RUGBY, April 29. In the course of yesterday’s meeting of the governing body of the International Labour Bureau at Geneva, Mr Humbert Wolfe, the British Government delegate, declared that the British Government maintained its viewpoint that revision of the Washington Eight Hours Convention was necessary in order to facilitate ratification. He asked, however, that discussion of the British proposal be adjourned until the May session, adding that the British Government had been the object of numerous unjust attacks because they certainly have no intention of lessening the prerogatives of the working classes. The committee accordingly adjourned until the May session.—British Official Wireless.
