THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. D. C. MAY 19, IQ?Q—PARTW& SALARED WORKERS CEASLS 1 TAKEN ‘ielfare of “White Collar” Class to Be Subject of Geneva Parley. By tha Associated Press. ;| GENEVA, May 18.—The welfare of the “white-collar” workers throughout the world is occupying the particular attention of the international labor of- fice. The subject figures on the agenda of the international labor conference to be opened here May 30 and a prelimi- nary report. dealing with hours of work, ¥ < has been forwarded to all governments which are members of the organization. Recent censuses show that Germany has 5274.232 salaried employes: glum, 189.262; Denmark. France, 2.698.630; Norway, Sweden. 161.144; Switzerland, 259,7 Czechoslovakia, 411,808, and Russia al- most 4,000,000. Workers in Great Britain. In Great Britain in 1921 there were 1.125.000 clerks, draftsmen and typists (not including clerks employed by the state and municipalities), while the number of salesmen and shop assistants was 763,000. These figures give some idea of the importance of the classes of workers whose conditions will be the object of discussion. In the preamble to part XIII of the treaty of Versailles the establishment of a maximum working day and week was placed first among the measures stated to be urgently required if the | peace and harmony of the world were to be preserved. No class of workers {¥as mentioned in preference to any other. Tt is, therefore, deemed reason- | able to suppose that the authors of the | treaty intended the limitation of hours to apply to non-manual as well as man- | val workers. | 1927 Labor Conference.
