PENAL SANCTIONS
ON AFRICAN WORKERS. PROGRESSIVE ABOLITION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, August 7. The Under-Secretary for the Colonies, Mr G. 11. Hall, answering a question in the House of Commons, said that, while penal sanctions for a breach of contract by workers had been abolished in the West African colonies, such sanctions as remain in East Africa would be abolished progressively as prescribed in the recent international labour convention. The Governments of Kenya and Northern Rhodesia had abolished penal sanctions for juveniles under the apparent age of 10 years, and later also certain sanctions applying to adult workers. Mr Hall said he hoped further progress would be made despite the war.
