PARLIAMENT HAS
 TWO LABOR BILLS
These Are Drawn to Provide Living Wage and 4S-HOur
 Week.

London, July 10, Correspondence of The Associated Press )--To provide adequate living wages and to set a limit of IS hours as a weeks work is declared to be the purpose of two important bills which are being pre- pared for action in parliament
 These two measures are understood to be the result of an agreement be- tween representatives of employers, of trade unions and of the minister of labor, acting as a national industrial conference. They are described as government bills on maximum work ing hours and minimum time rates."
 The wage bill as drawn up provides for an inquiry by commission to decide what shall be the minimum wages for adults and for young per- sons, the commission to consider the cost of living. It is also provided that the minimum wage shall be adequate to meet the increased living cost.
 The bill intended to make AS hours constitute a weeks work does not ap- ply to domestic servants, seamen on ocean-going vessels, nor to employees in positions of trust and confidence. An inquiry is to be held regarding the working conditions of domestic servants and seamen to determine whether they can be brought within the scope of the bill.
 It is stated that if the bills are approved and accepted by the work CTS effected by them, the trade unions will be asked to aid the government in organizing a national industrial council to be representative equally of employers and trade uniOnists.
