Referring to the proposal for an International convention laying down the principle of a reduction of hours to 40 per week In the textile, iron and . steel, building and civil engineering Industries, as well as In coal mines and public works, the Industrial Relations general membership. "The general point of view was," said the report, "that even If the W-hour week were adopted universally throughout the world, which was at the present time un thinkable, It would not achleva the desired end of helping to relieve unemployment, but, on the contrary, would tend to increase unemployment, Inasmuch as It would tend by Increasing costs, and therefore prices, to reduce sales and therefore employment."
