Many OF the companies made strenuous COM
plants OF the. charges for the examina lions.
They declare that not to exceed seven or eight
days were spent in any company. and the charges
went as high as $500 and $500 for such an exam

would require several weeks. %. -.."
Most OF the examinations were made by Max

was assisted by his son. Auditor Merriam him

tours. The reports Of the companies show that

American workingmen should take
to heart the lesson to be derived from
the report of the commission of British
worhingmen who visited this country
some months ago to investigate Indus
trial conditions. The delegates differ
widely on many points, but they are
unanimous in two conclusions, namely,
that the British workman has nothing
to learn from the American workman.
while British employers are not as far
advanced as the Americans in the
treatment of their employees. Mr.. Al
fred Moseley, who brought the dele
gates here. says that the American
workman has a far better education,
els infinitely better paid, housed, fed
and clothed, and, moreover, is much
more sober than the British" While
ALI this has been known and realized
before by competent observers, 1t Is
rood to have such testimony from
such a source. 1t ought to lead Ameri-
can workingmen to adopt a kindlier
and more conciliatory attitude toward
their employers than many Of them
have done. The American employer Is
In closer. more sympathetic touch with
his workmen for the simple reason
that he is generally a man who has
risen from the ranks of workingmen
