WAGES AT EXHIBITION.
PROPOSAL REJECTED. Received May 1, 9.15 a.m. LONDON, April 30. The Standing Committee *of the House of Commons, dealing with the bill increasing the Government guarantee in connection with the Wembley Exhibition to £1,900,000, rejected the Labour amendment compelling fair wages to be paid persons employed at tho exhibition by the operation of a fair wages clause and providing for the Industrial Court to decide any dispute. j Sir P. Cunliffe Lister disclaimed hostility to tho amendment, but said that it was impossible to accept it at present-owing to the conditions. Some of the contracts contained, a fair wage clause, and it was included wherever new contracts were made. The Government had gone out of its way to approach the Colonial authorities to get them to take the same course.—Reuter.
