Senate authorizes labor conference call in Washington
The Senate by unanimous consent adopted a joint resolution authorizing the president to call an international labor conference in Washington next October even if the Versailles treaty is not ratified, with no authority for American representation until ratification. Secretary Wilson testified that preparation must begin as several nations signaled intent to attend, and the measure was narrowed to refer to an international labor conference without treaty specifics. Action by the House is implied as necessary for presidential authority to be complete.
