 London, Nov 25.--The American plan of paying good wages and encouraging empioyeS to increase the daily output, which was introduced by the manager of the American Electrical works at Manchester, has been formally pro- tested against by the Employers fed eration of that district. The latter claim that the labor market is being demoralized and their works drained of their best men by the American of
 lclals, who pay their laborers F cents an hour against 9 cents paid by the British employers and get double the amount of work accomplished. The Americans intend to ignore the protest. They say the British workman is cap able enough, but he is demoralized by low wages and the domineering of the English foremen, against whom they have no redress. The British em- ployers blacklist the men their fore men discharge and are attempting to prevent the American concern from employing them. The Americans,
 however, propose to stand aloof from the Employers Federation and carry on their works in their own way.
