Fourth Session

The Building, Civil Engineering and Public Works Committee of the International Labor Organization held its fourth session in Geneva from October 26 through November 6, 1953, under the chairmanship of M. Kaufmann (Switzerland), a government member of the Governing Body. Reports had been submitted by the International Labor Office on the three items on the meeting's agenda: 1) a general report dealing particularly with action taken by ILO members and the Governing Body in the light of previous committee conclusions; 2) methods of facilitating the progressive application in the construction industry of the principle of a guaranteed wage; and 3) factors affecting the productivity of the construction industry. After the delegates – which represented 24 countries on a tripartite basis – analyzed the problems and progress which the construction industry faced in their countries, the committee approved a series of resolutions which covered such subjects as: 1) action by engineers and architects with a view to raising productivity in the industry, 2) contract practices, 3) vocational training, 4) mechanization, 5) the psychologicàl factor involved in raising productivity, and 5) sharing the benefits of in-creased productivity. A memorandum concerning a guaranteed wage was approved without opposition which endorsed the principle of a guaranteed wage, either by agreeing to provide a specified period of work at ordinary rate of pay or by paying a minimum sum during the specified period regardless of whether or not the workers could be kept employed in customary or reasonably alternate work. In a further resolution, the committee stressed the role which the construction industries could play in implementing policies of full employment. By a vote of 60 to 39 with 24 abstentions it decided to place on the agenda of its next session the questions of protection of conditions of employment and living conditions of young workers, prevention of industrial accidents, reduction of hours of work, and practical measures for securing and maintaining full employment in the construction industry.

June July

Report to the Economic and Social Council: The International Labor Organization submitted to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations on, September 29, 1947 a report on its activities during the year 1947. This report, the first of a regular series which ILO had agreed to submit regularly (Article V paragraph 2(a) of the Agreement between the United Nations and the ILO), included background information and covered the period from the establishment of the United Nations to July 15, 1947. This report dealt with the decisions of five successive sessions of the International Labor Conference, i.e., those held in Philadelphia, May 1947, in Paris, October–November 1945, in Seattle, June 1946, in Montreal, September–October 1946, and in Geneva, June–July 1947. Future reports, it was announced, would cover only one year's work. The report was accompanied by a volume containing a series of appendices which included the text of the Constitution of ILO as amended by the 1946 Instrument of Amendment, the text of the Agreement between the United Nations and ILO, a list of the committees of ILO, a list of meetings convened by ILO as well as meetings of other international organizations at which ILO was represented during the period covered by the report, a list of and the texts of Conventions, Recommendations, and some of the Resolutions adopted by the International Labor Conference, resolutions adopted by the third Conference of American States Members of ILO, held in 1946, and the text of the agreement between ILO and FAO.

Draft Constitution

The Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration held its fifth session at Geneva from April 16 to 24, 1953. Representatives were present from 21 of the 22 member governments, and several non-member governments and agencies sent observers. The subcommittee on finances reported that gross income had amounted to $26,114,357 in 1952, and gross expenditures totaled $19,446,549, leaving a budgetary surplus of $6,667,808. Reimbursements for movements completed in 1952 had been “most satisfying”, but it was anticipated that a slower rate of reimbursement would prevail in 1953, and that additional funds would therefore be required. The subcommittee also re-ported that between February 1, 1952, and December 21, 1952, 77,626 persons, among them 31,226 refugees, had been moved from Europe. The Director, Mr. Hugh Gibson, reported the following developments in the activities of ICEM: 1) provision had been made for training building laborers in Italy destined to migrate to Brazil (in collaboration with the Brazilian and Italian governments and the International Labor Organization), and for a number of preselection projects; 2) in Greece, in collaboration with UNESCO, a language training program for prospective migrants to Australia had been initiated; 3) Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Venezuela were making “definite progress” in the area of land resettlement; and 4) other projects of a “technical nature” were being considered. The fifth session also studied a draft constitution for the Committee which had been prepared by the Director at the request of the fourth session. The delegates concluded that eventual acceptance of the constitution by member governments would give the Committee “more stability and an anticipated life span of from three to five years”, and decided to refer the draft agreement to governments for comment before the next session of ICEM.
