The history of the dispute is very brief Last May, an amicable attempt was made to secure the French sea- men's consent to a scheme to suspend or revise the 8 bour law. The seamen blankly refused. The Und-r Secretary of Sta'e for the Merchant Marine therefore thought fit, in view of stipulations laid down in the law itull, to propose as amendment, which he placed before t'e seamen's union and also befor the shipowers. This revision, whic'

was advocated by the Senate and approved by the President, was merely a temporary measure, since it wa promised the 8 hour day would be einstituted as soon as it became an international measure,

With this threat facing th 8-hour day principle, the Inter national Seamen's Federation held -one-day Coupress in Paris for August 2
