nOmic opportunity and industrial
tradition make strict uniformity in
the conditions of labor difficult Of
immediate attainment. But. hold
ing as they do, that labor remedies
(probably error in transmission be
regarded merely as an article of
commerce, they think that there are
methods and principles for the rati-
fication OF labor conditions which all
industrial communities should en-
deayor to apply so far as their spe-
cial circumstances will permit.
Among these methods and prin-
eiples the following seem to the high
contracting parties to be OF special
and urgent importance:
First The guiding principle
above enunciated that labor should
not be regarded merely as com
modify or article of commerce.
Second The right of association
for all lawful purposes by the en-
ployed, as well as by the employ
ers.
Third, The payment to the EN-
ployed OF wage adequate to main
tain a reasonable standard OF life
as this is understood in their time
and country.
Fourth The adoption of an
eight-hour da yor a 4S-hour week
as the standard to be aimed at where
it has not already been obained.
Fifth. The adoption OF a weekly
rest OF at least "a hours, which
should include Sunday whenever
practicable
sixth. The abolition of child la
Dor and the imposition of such linn
itations on labor of young persons
as shall permit the continuation of
stheir education and assure their
proper physical development
Seventh The principle that men
and women should receive equal re-
III uHCldiibh iOi WI n VI Siuoi NoAdS'
Eighth The standard set by law
in each country with respect to the
conditions of labor should have due
regard to the equitable economic
treatment of all workers lawfully
resident therein.
Ninth Each state should make
provision for a system of inspec-
ton in which women should take
part in order to insure the enforce
ment of the laws and regulations for
the protection of the employed,
Without claiming that these
methods and principles are either
complete or final, the high contract
ing parties are of the opinion that
the yare well fitted to guide ! pol
icy of the league of nations and that
if adopted by the industrial com
munities who are members of the
league and safeguarded in practice
by an adequate system OF such in
| spection, they will confer lasting
benefits upon the wage Garner of the
! world
