BRITISH LABOR PARTY
MEETS To FRAME POST
POST BELLUM DEMANDS.

MANCHESTER, Eng. Jan. "a
The eyes OF capital and labor
throughout Europe focused on the
Sixteenth Annual Conference of the
british Labor Party here today.
What labor shah demand after
the greatest war in history was the
clear cut issue.
Resolutions before the conferences
today indicated that labor will fight
to romold scattered Industrial re-
lations more radically than ever IN
labor's favor Revolutionary de-
mands will be made on the govern
nent
1t had been practically decided
before the hundreds of delegates
assembled that when demobilization
throws hundreds of thousands of
Norkers back into the industrial
boiling pot, the unions will demand
tbat the government provide work
for every man who LETT his job on
account of the war. Immediate
sestitution of the full rights and
privileges of union, withdrawn dur
ing the war also will be asked,
A demand for a general eight
hour day and a minimum wage Is
believed sure to pass the confer
ence It is equally decided that
the unions will demand the nation
alization of productive industries
mines. eta radical educational
reform, profit sharing schemes and
other things.
Numerous resolutions, SO far
! framed. repudiate the governments
proposal to create compulsory arbi-
tiation of labor disputes.
Immediate negotiations for peace
arc demanded by many delegations
but this issue. it is believed, will
have no great support, demand
that women, now replacing men in
hundreds OF occupations. shall be
guaranteed remuneratlve employ

Same class as peace,

ence. however, are carried, British
unions will struggle in the future
for a stronger institution than the
