Commission on International
Legislation Of Peace Con-
ference Reaches Agreement
on British Article.
BITTER CONTEST WAS
FORECAST BY LEADERS
Certain Features Of French
Plan Will Be Incorporated
in English Draft Before Co.
ing to Peace Table.

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-The agreement by
the commission on international labor
legislation Of the peace conference to
accept article ~ Of the British draft
OF measures to settle the future status
OF international labor, marks the pass
ing over safely of an obstancle which
the labor leaders expected would pro-
woke a bitter contest, for the reason
that 1t is the most radical OF the
projects organized labor Is seeking to
graft upon the constitution Of the So
ciety of nations. '-'..
This article provides that at the pro-
posed international labor conference,
the representatives of the governments,
the employers and working people shall
be entitled to speak and vote inde-
pendently without regard to the views
expressed by the. other Representatives
OF their nation and to have power to
draw up conventions binding ,on the
nations represented.
The rapid progress made upon the
remainder Of the British draft, into
which will be Incorporated certain fea =
lures of the French labor plan, appears
to warrant the belief that the essential
aims of the delegates OF both nations
will be accepted in their entirety by
the commission, although final action
ny the peace conferences is predicted.
