MARITIME CONFERENCE
UNIFORM CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT. Received Nov. 29, 11.5 p.m. GENEVA, Nov. 29. “British shipowners are opposed to a convention to regulate the hours of manning which does not take into account rates of pay,” said Mr. Ronald Garrett, Orient director, at the Maritime Conference. He argued that the suggested procedure would aggravate existing disparity in wage rates between the various maritime nations. Mr. George Reed, on behalf of the British seamen, regretted the British owners’ attitude, from which owners in the United States and France dissented. A sub-committee was appointed to proceed with preparations for a full [ conference.
