COAL-MINERS’ WAGES
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE UNLIKELY UNREADY FOR AGREEMENT British Official Wireless RUGBY, Wednesday. The Preparatory International Technical Conference on the conditions of work in the coalmining industry which is being held at Geneva began a general discussion today of the question of wages. Mr. A. J. Cook, British miners’ delegate, spoke in favour of international machinery to fix minimum wages. The Government delegates from Germany, Poland and France, also the coalowners who spoke, said they considered that the time was not ripe for the conclusion of an international agreement on this subject. The general opinion at present appears to be that the idea of a conference about wages will be abandoned for the time being.
