LABOR PROBLEM
IS SERIOUS
LONDON, July 1 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Recent in
creases in wages of British workmen
have been the subject of very serious
debate by economists, employers and
others as one of the bedrock prob
lems of reconstruction, in the sense
that the nation may stand or fall
by it.
Some say the question which con
fronts British industry is whether the
pendulum of wages may not swing so
high that production for competition
with rival nations will become unprof
itable and then impossible.
“Higher wages for all” is the de
mand of the organized and unorgan
ized workers. With it is the cry for
“shorter hours, better conditions of
living, freedom to meet the employer
on a plane of business equality, as
two business men meeting together.”
“More concentrated work, more in
telligent work, and we will try to meet
you,” is the response from many em
ployers.
The question has been seriously
raised here as to whether England in
the past has not owed her pre-emi
nence in the world’s industrial mar
kets to underpaid British labor. That
view was expressed by Frank Vander
lip, New York banker, when he re
turned to America a few weeks ago,
after spending several months in
Europe.
There are shrewd business men
who contend that British labor has
not been cheap, but considered solely
as an item in the cost of production
has been relatively costly when com
pared with the labor of the United
States.
The topic came forward at a recent
informal gathering in London of Amer
ican and British captains of industry.
Some were men who command great
enterprises, who think in terms of mil
lions of pounds and brigades of work
men. Their talk dealt with the iron
and steel productions, shipbuilding,
the various industries and manufac
tures of machinery, motors, sewing
machines and the like.
The consensus of opinion among
them seemed to be that the average
skilled English workman of pre-war
times paid a small wage, got more
money for what he did than the aver
age American artisan, that the labor
cost of producing commodities in this
country was greater than for pro
ducing similar goods in the United
States.
Limitation of output by trades
unions and obstruction against labor
saving machinery, not lack of ability,
were held to be the chief reasons for
smaller results by British working
men. “Speed up the work and you
throw some of us into the street;
more labor-saving machines and more
men out of work to be supported by
union funds,” was the labor point of
view.
There is still another factor—the
cost of beer. And that is rather a
delicate question in some quarters.
“If the United States goes dry, then
God save England!” exclaimed a Brit
ish cabinet minister, discussing the
industrial outlook.
The beer item is considered by some
economists a relatively heavy one in
the personal budget of the mass of
British workingmen, and an item that
can not be left out of the reckoning
in striking a balance for comparison
of the workers of England with those
of America.
However, stands the dictum that
England owed her past trade suprem
acy to underpaid labor, there are many
observers here today who declare the
outlook now is in the opposite direc
tion.
AIRPLANE LUMBER
TESTED BY X-RAYS
LONDON, June 26 (by mail).—Air
plane manufacturers are now calling
science to their aid in making their
machines safe. All wood used in con
struction in some of the most impor
tant plants is being first subjected to
X-ray tests. In one instance the
radiograph of a fine silver spruce
plank showed certain light and dark
spots. When the plank was split open
it was found to be honeycombed by
beetle borings.
The well-known “Westinghouse”
electric heaters are now for sale by
the Northwestern Hardware Co.
