Law. ‘While admitting that such measures might be difficult to apply under “most-favored nation” clauses, Kupers recalled that the United States Con- gress once passed a law prohibiting the importation of tobacco grown in the Dutch East Indies on plantations | where workers were being jailed for | refusal to work. The result, he said, | was the immediate abolition of penal sanctions in the Dutch East Indies, though theretofore employers had de- clared such a step to be impossiblé. Japan, the chief object of Picque- bard’s and Kupers' remarks, was as usual on the defensive, with Victor Vanderputte, French worker, criticiz- Ing the Japanese custom of housing workers in dormitories at the mill as *“perfectly barbarous.” He said it was enough for them to have to work long hours ina factory without being *“locked in” to sleep there at night. During a discussion of the problem of increasing consumption, Thomas Ashurst, British management repre- sentative, suggested that more clothes wight be worn in the United States if steps were taken to limit the amount of steam heat available.

He has fed also some of the Scotch and British delegates, many of whom have spent their evenings at the Gayety Theater watching the bur- lesque, which the British Parliament is considering toning down by a law against strip-tease. With Noon, who is a native of the Punjab, Birla fed R. R. Bakhale, a representative of the Indian textile workers, who comes from Bombay.
