In view of the declaration in the Constitution of the International Labour Organisation that all industrial communities should endeavour to adopt, so far as their special circumstances will permit, an eight hours' day or a forty-eight hours' week as the standard to be aimed at where it has not already been attained, the International Labour Conference recommends that each Member of the International Labour Organisation enact legislation limiting in this direction the hours of work of all workers employed in the fishing industry, with such special provisions as may be necessary to meet the conditions peculiar to the fishing industry in each country; and that in framing such legislation each Government consult with the organisations of employers and the organisations of workers concerned.
