WILSON LABOR LEGISLATION] FOR INTERNATIONAL| PROTECTION COMING| Full Recognition of Protection Thru Gov- ernmental Agencies to be Extended by} Paris Congress in Discussion of Pro-| gram to Curb Class Control PARIS, Jan. 24.—(Associated Press.) —The second session of the peace congress to be held tomorrow, will, like the first, be open to the press. The first subject on the order of busi- ness will be international legislation on labor. It is believed that the propositions of the United States, which are acceptable to most of the entente, are based upon full! recognition of the principles of inter-| national protection of Ilgbor by gov- ernmental agencies, thus offsetting what is regarded as a dangerous ten- dency toward class control of gov-/| ernments. Data is being prepared to demon- | strate the simultaneous movement in \ this direction by labor organizations in the United States, England and France, culminating in the adoption A | by the French chamber of deputies | of the report of the Berne confer-| | ence, held before the war, as ampli- fled by the conference held at Leeds,; Official Report Shows Force England, in 1916.
