WHERE AMERICANS EXCEL.

Labor conditions in the iron and steel
industries of the United States, in con-
trsst with those in the United King
dom and European countries generally.
are discussed at great length by the
commission appointed by the British
Iron Trade association which recently
visited the United States and thoroughly
studied its great iron and steel manu-
featuring establishments. This COM
mission consisted Of Mr.. ]. s. Jeans:
Mr.. Axel Sahlin, an expert in blast fur
mace work: Mr.. Ebenezer Parkes, whose
special study was sheet and bar m ill
practices and Mr.. Enoch James, who
gave special attention to the steel in
dustry.
The report of this commission. ac-
cording to some extracts which have
reached the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. points out that in the United
States the iron and steel industries are
face to face with conditions that make
both the dearest and cheapest labor at
present to be found in the wor1d-the
dearest in point of nominal remunera-
ton, and the cheapest in Industrial and
economic results. 1.-THE workmen al
American mills" says Mr.. Jam es in his
share of the report, ARE generally sup
posed to be working much harder than
they do in this country (England), but
this is not my own view. After much
conversation with many men in various
branches who had been employed in
similar works in England, and some OF
them subject to my own control. the
conclusion have arrived at is that the
American workmen do not work sc
hard as the men in England. They
have to be attentive in guiding opera
tfons and quick in manipulating levers
and similarly easy work. They are also
much more DESTROYS of getting out large

The insurance business in England
possesses the elements of gambling to

Y. NJ. C. A. and Geo. C. McDill. inter-

it was decided to reject all four of the
plans submitted for the construction OF

The only reason given for this action is
that the plans were not satisfactory.
