C.—The Nation al Conference on Labor Legisla tion adopted a report vigorously criticizing restrictive state labor legislation and urging prompt re peal of the laws. .The conference was attended by state labor commissioners Und i representatives of organized la- ' bor. The session was the 14th 1 held under the auspices of the | U. S. Department of Labor. The report of the committee on state industrial relations gave a strong denunciation of the anti labor legislation passed by the various states over the last few years.

Many workers are thus denied the right of collective bargaining. In addition, government by in junction has been restored and the employer permitted to prac tice intimidation, engage in es pionage, and, in short, return to the old law of the jungle that pre vailed prior to the enactment of legislation garanteeing the work ers the right to organize and bar gain collectively.” Included on the industrial rela tion committee were Lewis G. Hines and Walter J. Mason, leg islative representatives for the AFL. In another action, the confer ence adopted a report emphasiz ing the need for basic standards for state child-labor legislation and for incorporating them into state laws. The committee also stressed the importance of strengthening and extending the coverage of the child-labor pro visions of the Fair Labor Stan dards Act. The report also expressed con cern over the problem of employ ment, lack of schooling and poor living conditions affecting chil dren in families who migrate from state to state in search of jobs in industrialized agriculture. It was further recommended that all laws relating to wage earners be centralized in State Departments of Labor. The com mittee in charge of this subject described the laws which it felt should be enacted in the states. A detailed report was adopted on safety and health and work ments compensation. The conference agreed to set up in simple form a program of in formation on how the work of the Inteb-national Labor Office bears on state laws. For the first timd a discussion of the activities of the ILO was placed on the agenda for the conference. The importance of the states’ role in promoting the adoption of world labor standards was emphasized by Under-Secre tary of Labor David A. Morse, who acted as head of the U. S. delegation to the recent confer ence of the ILQ held in Geneva. Other speakers who told of ILO activities were J. D. Zellerbach, American employer delegate, and Forrest H. Shuford, North Caro line Commissioner of Labor. S33,204 PAID VETERANS IN JOB RIGHTS CASES Washington, D.
