Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada and the International Labour Conference, Vol. 5 Parallel with the movement towards the international regulation of labour standards, there was the development of international trade union action. The labour organizations of various countries were becoming familiar with each other and with labour conditions throughout the world. International conferences had been held and some agreement reached as to standards to be aimed at and methods to be used. Early in the war, the American Federation of Labour passed a resolution that a Labour Congress should be held at the same time and in the same place as the Peace Congress. This proposal was discussed at a conference of delegates of British, Italian, Belgian and French labour organizations at Leeds in July, 1916. In October, 1917, a conference of labour representatives of Ger many, Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland, approved the proposal adopted at the Leeds conference, to call an international conference before the beginning of the peace negotiations. In accordance with the resolutions of these conferences and based on the experience of the International Association for Labour Legislation, a commission known as the Commission of International Labour Legislation was appointed by the Peace Conference to draw up a plan for a permanent organization. The report of this Commission formed the basis of the Labour sections of the Treaty off' Versailles, comprising Part XIII of this Treaty, and of the subsequent Treaties 0 Peace.
