because that 10 the only thias I am aware OF
that came in to any great extent. and really
that docs not st an alarm ne the rate q
wages has increased here in London sine.
those engines were brought to che Easter

There has been an advance in wages sine.
You see nothing to show that the intro

France are getting from e. to e3 los. Der

What do the ordinary French ana Beirian
workmen get l vish 10 drav : distincfion
between the highly skilled workmen which
dare say, those who 70 out from voor So

the wages Of English workmsnf If shey are
getting Eve francs day, il would be say As.

Assuming the ordinary rate sagss to be
80 per cent. lower ia France and Belsiula
than in this country. and vbat workme \
improve in France and Belgium as they do
here; what is to prevent work going from
