48-HOUR WEEK
WORLD ROUND
IN PEACE TREATY
Equal Pay for Women and
Right Of Association" Among
the Nine Labor Clauses.

WASHINGTON. April s9.-The labor
clauses adopted yesterday by the
Plcnary Council for insertion In the
Peace Treaty we're made public to-
day by the State Department. They
were AZ follows:
"Tho high contracting parties,
recognizing that the wcll-bcing. ply
slcal. moral and intellectual. OF in
dustrial wage oorners tx Of supreme
international Importance. have framed
a permanent machinery associa ted
with that OF the League of Nations
to further this great end. They
recognize that difference of climate,
habits and customs of economic op-
portunity aud industrial tradition
make strict uniformity in the condi-
tons OF labor dfiicult OF immediate
attainment. But. holding az they do
that labor remedies (probablY error
In tranEmissIon) be regarded merely
as an article of commerce, they think
that there are methods and principles
for the ratification ~ labor conditions,
which all Industrial communities
should endcavor TO apply 80 far as
ther special circumstances viii per-
nit
Among these methods and prin-
cipies the following seem to the high
contracting parties TO be OF special
and urgent Importance:
"IYrst The guiding principle
above onuncintcd that labor should
not be regarded merely as q com
modify or article OF commerce.
"Sccond--Tho right OF association
for all lawful purposes by the cm-
ployed as well az by tho employers.
-Thlrd-The payment 10 tho cm-
ployed Of a wage adequate to main
tain a reasonable standard Of life as
this is understood in their time and
country.
"Fourth-JThc adoption OF an eight
hour day or is-hour week. as the
standard 10 be aimed at where 1t has
not already been obtained.
! 'Tnfth-The adoption OF a weekly
rest Of at least twenty four hours.
which should include Sunday when
ever practicable.
"Sixth.-rhc abolition ~ child Ia
Dor and tho imposition gf such lint
tations on the labor Of young per-
sons as shall permit tho continuation
OF their cuucation and assure their
! proper physical developmct.
| "Seveth The principle that men
and women should receive equal re-
| munerntion for work Of equal value.
| Eighth. The standard set by law
IN each country with respect TO the
condition OF child labor should have
due guard 60 tho equitable economic
treatment of all workers lawfully
resident therein.
| "Ninth-Each state shah make pro-
| vision for system o' Inspection, IN
| which women should take part, In or
der to insure the enforcement OF the
laws and regulations for the protection
OF the employed.
without claiming that these meth
DDS and principles are either complot
or nnal the high contracting parties
are OF opinion that they are well fittCd
to guild cthc policy OF tho League OF
Nations. and that II adopted by the IN.

sc. PHONE RATE Is
FORCED IN HOTELS
BurlpsOn Issues Order to Stop
Service to Those Who
DO Not Obey.

Tho challenge thrown 20 rostmas-
the Hotel Association OF New York city,
who recently restored the former rate of
10 cents for local telephone callsatterthey
had complied under protest for several
cents be collected. was picked up with
alacrity yesterday In response to the
action of the hotels in going back to the
old price-upon the plea that the extra
nickel was for service MIR. Burleson,
IN Washington. issued peremptory or
der to Union y. Bethel. chairman OF the
United States Telegraph and Telephone
Operating Board here. directing him TO
discontinue service where the additional
cents was cxacted.
At his home In Montclalr. y. j.. Mr..
Bethel said last night that the message
from the Postmaster-Gencral had not
reached his office up to the time he LETT.
but that II probably would he waiting
for him when he arrived to-day. In that
event. lie added. he would take "imme-
diate steps" to carry the order into Ell
feet.
As far as could he learned last night,
members of the Hotel Association had
not determined upon a definite line "
acton. although some OF them at least
will surrender as gracefully as possible.
In addition to the service charge oil
an additional nickel for local calls--niak-
ing ten cents In almost of the hotels
have begun to add All extra charge OF
Ave cents on suburban calls This ac-
ton seems to have been taken in concert
by all members of the Hotel Assoc'a-
ton. The hotel men assert that ton
cents barely covers what the service
costs them.
That the hotel men may attempt to
employ legal means to resist Mr.. Bur-
Lessons order and prevent their tele-
phone service from being stopped IS in
dicated in the position assumed by
Charles ]. Campbell of the law Arm Of
Campbell & Roland. attorneys for the
Hotel Association. ~. Campbell thinks
that the power to fix telephone rates in
this State Is vested exclusively In the
Public Service Commission. He said
the original order issued by the Post
master General for a cent charge at
hotels was issaed without giving the
hotel proprietors chance TO be heard
1t was the position of Mr.. Campbell
that Mr. Burleson was merely an adj.
ministrative officer without judicial
power and that he is as much personally
liable for an illegal act as a State Off
cial would be.
