CRITICISM AND DEFENCE.
LEEDS CONFERENCE AND
THE TLC. A
At the conference of the University Labour Federation” (in association with the Educational Department of the Trades Union Congress), at Leeds, the question of international" Labour Tegislation was discussed. The subject was introduced by Mr. Clifton Robbins, a representative of the International
སྭྰ་་་
Labour Offfee.
"We arò all a parrow lot (remarked Mr. Robbins). We have people in all countries who say of those of others: He is a foreigner, poor, thing, but he can't help it: But when the conference. inerts we find that the man from Paraguay is not wearing a tail as we thought, he did-(laughter)-that the Chinese does not wander about as Alad- din on the pantomime stage, but that he is really a human being. The result is that Governments and peoples are getting into the habit of knowing each other, aad of realising that the objects they have- in common are greater than those things on which they do not agree. (Cheers) Mr.Robbins dwelt on the large number of economic, questions which "bad been tackled by the I.L.Q. conferences, and remarked that in dealing with them members of the copierence sometimes-be- came so international that they did not realise the national. implications they had to face when they got home. The International Labour Office was doing big work in obtaining informática. It had been making enquiries respecting the local conditions throughout the world, and an interim report on that matter would be produced at the next con ference.
Mr. A. L. Hutchinson (Cambridge) urged that Labour in Great Britain should not despise but support the efforts of the International Office.
Criticism was directed by some speakers against the policy of the Labour party in prohibiting the import of Eastern sweated goods into Britain, and also against the eight-hour day being insisted upon in Eastern countries.
Mr. P. R. Stephenson (Oxford) said there were still directors of companies and at least one member of that con- ference who would place critical obstacles Eo the most simple international activities. There, was a strong case to carry on intensive social propaganda. amongst their brothers in the East. If the workers of India would go on accepting a 60-hour week that was a position to which the bourgeois Govern- menta would be able to give their blessing.
Mr. J. E. Simpson, a farmer and cattle dealer, of Leeds and Skipton, said in West Yorkshire and East Lancashire there were men in agriculture working 75 to 80 hours a week: for 158. a week without any regard being paid to the Agricultural Wages Board.
The anthorities appeared to be entirely in different as to whether the regulations of that Board were in operation or not. It is a little useless, he exclaimed, to. discuss conditions in Japan when you have these festering sores in England.
LVILS OF EXPLOITATION.” The President (Mr. Arthur Greenwood, M.P.), defended the action of the Labour party in objecting to goods, the product of sweated labour, coming to Great-Bri- tain. Somehow or other the world had to standardise and stabilisé labour con- ditions. Means must be adopted to sec that there conditions were enforced. In principle there was no difference be tween excluding prison-unde goods and goods which did not comply with inter
national standards. He desired" to
protect the East from cosmopolitan financiers who were seeking in the illimitable labour in that part of the world opportunities for exploitation (Continued at foot of next Column)
