Japanese Workers to Press for Shorter Hours. MINIMUM WAGE ASKED. United Press Assn.—By Electric Teit graph —Copyright. (Received April 20, 11.30 a.m.) TOKIO, April 19. The Japanese Federation of Labour has instructed Mr Tadao Kikugawa, its delegate to the Labour Conference, to advocate for the adoption in Japan of a minimum wage, payable weekly, an eight-hour day and six-day week. The federation declares that the world-wide spread of Japanese products is due to the low yen, low wages, long hours, the employers’ hard-working spirit, the advanced technique and the Government’s exports subsidies.
