Another English tribute to the superb
ority of the protected labor of America

is found in the remarks OF Mr.. Alfred f..

England. who is just completing a
three months stay in the United States.
Mr.. Yarrow has visited and inspected
several of the largest iron and steel
working plants in this country and has
been greatly impressed by the Ameri-
can methods Of work and their results.
Some time ago he wrote TO the London
Times that IL the striking engineers
In England would select a committee OF
three or four men TO visit America, in
spect the plants here. and make report
TO the strikers, he would gladly defray
the expenses Of the trip.

said Mr. Yarrow, ARE better paid than
English, but they do far more than pro-
portionately better work They have

"The lowered prices of raw material

gineers into direct competition with

lieve this competition will continue and

Concerning Condition Of the New
England Cotton Factories.
The depression of the cotton manufac-
turing industry in New England has
been seized upon by the free trade press
as n sweet morsel to roll under the
tongue. With one accord they gleefully
poiut to the fact that protection has not
proved potent enough to prevent the
lowering OF wages in the factories of
the Fall River district, and hence pro
lection is failure
The fact of oyerproduction and the
competition ofsouthern factories where
wages are lower and the hours of labor
longer than In the mills OF New Eng
land are factors i'm the problem which
obtain no recognition; and you will
search in vain for any acknowledgment
