OPPOSITION AT- GENEVA
"STAGGERING CONSE-
, QUENCES"
(Eeceivea 14th January,. 1, p.m.) GENEVA, 13th January. Mr. Heyday, a British -workers' representative, informed the Shorter Hours Conference that concerted world action was necessary regarding the fortyhour week. The consequences would be staggering if the world's 120 million unemployed were told that the only solution of the' trouble .was their maintenance by the employed workers. The latter would not-submit to a further reduction in wages. M. Gerald, representing .the Belgian employers, contended that production must be maintained at all costs. A reduction of hours would be valueless and dangerous.
