George NJ. Barnes, secretary of the Anal

Gently returned from the United States, has
made public some of his impressions. which
rather surprise those who have had expert
ruce on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr..
Barnes says of the labor conditions of the
two countries that as far as wages are con-
cerned America leads considerably. but that
in any other respect the comparisons favor
this country.
"The most noticeable drawbacks in Amer
lea" he says. are The congeSted character
of the workshops. the disregard for the
comfort of the workers and the bad sani-
tary conditions. l am persuaded that, on
the whole. the workmanship Of the Ameri-
can mechanic is inferior to that Of his Eng
lish cousin. This, However. is not so OBJ
seryable in the engineering industry as in
others.
wit regard to working hours. as a rule
they are longer than in England, especially
in the engineering trade, but. as l have in
diCated, wages are higher.
Il do not think the American works hard
er than the English mechanic. but there IS
a great difference in the point of view The
Americans point of view Is dominated by
the central idea of labor-saving machinery
That being so, it follows that production IS
on a larger scale. But, man for man. L
don't think the output of the American ex-
ceeds that of his English Compeer.
With regard to the social conditions OF
the American workman. l think they are
considerably less pleasant than those pre-
vailing in this country. There is also less
sense of civic responsibility, and as a con-
sequence the streets are less Clearly and
the buildings are more unsishtly than here.
That may sound Incredible. but il is the i'm
preston l formed. l have no hesitation IN
affirming that English Workmanship Is
more thorough than American. and that our
