Abstract
The article by Léon Jouhaux reproduced here is a report, from the workers’ point of view, on the Third Session of the International Labour Conference. In the wake of the First Session (Washington) and the Second Session (Genoa), which had, respectively, “defined the general character of international labour legislation” and then extended “such legislation to maritime workers”, the Third Session, held in Geneva, had on its agenda the extension of labour legislation to agricultural workers. In his article, the author argues that economic problems alone should not be used to contest the legitimacy of labour regulation.
