With these explanations. what objection cam there be to this provision in the treaty? What possible objection is there to making.an effort to stabilize labor conditions and equalize them throughout the world? We have complaints of pauper labor competition with the United States. The natural tendency will be to equalize. if this conference shall have their way. the eighthour day not only in the United States but in other countries that have not adopted it. and with the conservative feature introduced by the representatives of the Governments. by the representatives of two classes. the employer and the employee. I can see no reason why the best results can not be secured.
