Reciprocal Arrangements with Organisations in Other Countries. Travel is also being arranged to an increasing extent from France to foreign countries. Reciprocal agreements have been reached with sister organisations in other countries, such as the Workers' Travel Association in Great Britain, Popularis in Switzerland, Algemeene Nederlandsche Reisvereeniging in the Netherlands, Folke Ferle in Denmark 1, Reso in Sweden 2, Kansan Matkatoimisto in Finland, Folke Ferie in Norway, and a workers' sport. and travel association in Roumania. Exchanges of workers on holiday have already been made between many of these countries and are planned to take place regularly. Negotiations are also being undertaken with organisations in Czechoslovakia, Italy, the U.S.S.R. and Yugo- slavia. The principle of reciprocity is adhered to in all agreements of this kind signed by the French Workers' Travel Association. In principle, for each French worker who crosses the frontier under the auspices of the Workers' Travel Associa- tion, a national of a foreign country is received in France. WORKERS' ORGANISATIONS CONFERENCE OF CHINESE SEAFARERS The National Seamen's Union of China, which was originally founded in 1920, held its first General Conference in December 1946. It was attended by 70 representatives from branch associations in China and abroad, and several hundred members. The chairman of the Conference was General Yang Hu. Some of the more important demands included in the resolutions of the Conference are listed below: Conditions of Work. (1) The wages of seafarers engaged in home trade should be adjusted to take account of the cost of living in the ports concerned, and the conditions of employ- ment of seafarers serving abroad should be those laid down in international agree- ments. (2) Hours of work and manning scales should be fixed. (3) Contract labour should be abolished. (4) Employment and dismissal agreements should be concluded with various shipping companies. (5) The Ministry of Communications should be asked to instruct the shipping authorities to protect the employment of seafarers by restricting the issue of licences. (6) The scope of the maritime unions should be defined and membership of a union made compulsory. I Cf.
