Average Output in an Hour.

The list Of questions contained, among
Others the following interrogatory: Does
the American produce, on an average, more
or less in an hour than the English work.
MANI"
The delegates are of the opinion In gen.
eral that the American does not exhaust
himself any more at his work than does
the English workman. but that his produc-
tivity Is greater because of the mechanical
arrangements and the better methods of
manipulation found in America Many OF
the delegates say that they had always
heard the intensive production (of America
talked about, but had never heard a word
of the conditions under which 1t took place
They were led to believe that the American
workman was worked to death, always at
a high pressure. obliged to carry on his
work at rate that led to premature old
age. They found that tale q myth; that the
American workman does not exhaust him
self any more at his work than does the
British workman, nor does he grow old any
earlier or faster; Furthermore, when their
forces powers are enfeebled, instead OF
being sent away, as happens too often In
England. they are given lighter work.
Relations Of Workman and Employer.
Almost all of the delegates are Of the
opinion that in the United States the rela-
lions between employers and employees are
much easier and better than in the united
kingdom. The proprietors are easy to ap-
proach: they meet their men voluntarily
with a great deal more of personal famil-
iarity. The opinion of the delegate Of the
cotton spinners may be taken as the aver
age for all: THE American employers seem
to be penetrated with the sentiment of their
responsibility in regard to the people under
them. They are decidedly opposed to all
kinds Of tyrannical and despotic treatment
OF their help on the part OF those In
charge"
| Another delegate says: lone point which
struck us forcibly is the absence Of those
class distinctions which exist in England
and that absence manifests itself especially
In the relations between employers and en-
ployes. The workman Is not considered as
part of the machinery of the concern He
: Is not regarded as one who should be
thankful for the employment given him. On
the contrary, one sees in him member OF
the house. often taken into confidence In
regard to the things which concern his par
ucular branch"

CONCLUSIONS OF THE MOSELEY
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Instruction Of the Young-Prompt
Adoption Of Improved Machines
Longer Working Hours.

Apropos of MoSeley's second commission
composed Of educators and scientific ex-
perts, which is in the United States FOR the
purpose of studying at first hand the forces
and factors underlying Americas success,
the following discussion Of the former COM
mission. translated from paper by the
French Union of Metallurgical and Mining
Industries, is just now of special interest:
Last year Mr.. Alfred Moseley, an English
business man, invited the secretaries of the
trades unions of Great Britain to go with
him to the United States for the purpose
of seeing for themselves the rapid pro-
gress and enormous industrial development
Of that part of the world He had been
struck. in the course of his travels in
America, with the gigantic powers of It's
production. He had seen with regret that
in England neither employer nor employe
was aware of the danger that was devel-
oped by a competition that was growing
greater every day. 1t was to enlighten the
workmen that he had organized the COM
mission of inquiry commonly called the
''Moseley Industrial Commission" The del
egates left England, accompanied by Mr.
Moseley. in October, 1902. There were
twenty-three of them. They divided into
two groups. one of which went direct to
Canada and the other to New York. The
delegates were to furnish individual reports
and had absolute freedom as to form and
expression of opinion.
Cause Of Americas Superiority.
The general conclusions arrived at by the
delegates are as follows:
Americas superiority is based first of all
upon the abundance and variety OF Its
natural resources; upon the size or extent
Of it's own market whose demands are
mostly supplied by American farmers and
manufacturers. who in some cases are the
only parties Offering for sale, and for which
the industrial leaders have worked almost
exclusively up to the present time. Finally,
the American manufacturers have been
wise enough to make a marvellous use of
machinery. They have perfected them I'M
ceaSingly, specialized them in such a way
as to get them to do more and more of the
work Of men. and have ransacked their
brains for ways to get out OF them maxi
mum of product And in all these efforts
they have had the decided support of their
help.
The delegates say it is toward this judi
cious utilization of the machine that the
English Industries ought to direct and ex-
tend all their efforts. 1t Is only by so doing
that England will be able to compete with
that American competition that is menacing
the world. Success will depend upon the
English manufacturers. It is necessary for
them to abandon the commercial routine, to
be on the watch for all kinds Of mechanical
devices. improvements. etc, and to be
ready to adopt them as soon as possible.
Lesson for British Employer.
GAS a matter of fact" says the delegate
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-10-12

of the iron molders, 1.-The British employer
has more TO learn in America than has the
British workman" And the delegate of the
parliamentary committee Of the trades
unions says: THE English workman has
nothing to learn in America but it is far
otherwise with the employers 1 do not
pretend to say that We are superior to the
that in the markets of the world we will
rot be beaten when it comes to good, solid
work. well finished and durable"
Instruction Of Youthful Employees.
The opinion of the commission seems to
be unanimous in regard to the value of the
instruction given to the youthful employees
In the United States compared with what
Is given to the same class in Great Britain
and Ireland. A the delegates were i'm
pressed with the degree of general instruc-
tion received by the young people in
American industrial concerns and by the
Facilities Observation-Disclosures In ENGLAND
to obtain a secondary even a higher
education.
My opinion is says the delegate of the
American is better equipped than the
young Englfshman for the battle of life
by the preliminary education which he re-
ceives. The children of American work
men stay at school till they are fourteen
nfteen or sixteen years old, and in the
latter years of their school life they ac-
quire Just such knowledge as fits them
from their very entrance into Industrial
| life to be useful to themselves and to their
country. The children of the English
working class leave school too soon"
American School System.
The delegate OF the tailors says: THE
American school system is very much bet
| ter than ours. In certain states the bows
and girls are able to pass from the kinder
| garten to the higher schools without cost
| ing dollar to their parents In MANY
| states the Reorganization Of the universities
| even is gratuitous. England is a quarter
of century behind the age. and each year
| augments the difference"
| The delegate of the bookbinders confirms
that Judgment, for he says: THE system
| OF education appears to be very well
| adapted to the wants of the nation. The
ambition of a great number of workrnen is
TO see their sons attain a fine position.
This ambition is encouraged and aided by
the facilities offered to the child who has
| a taste for study
That ambition Is SO much the easier to
| understand" says the iron and steel dele
| gate, when one knows that the wages of
| the parents are much higher than in Eng

Midsummer Madness.

We are at the time of year when
al epidemic of crime and disaster and
foolishness breaks out, and this sea
son the record is being pushed, with
the most fatal month OF August yet to
be heard from. The number of muir
ders. lynchings. suicides, drownings
and other disasters is appalling, and
the psychological connection between
these and the weather is one that has
always aroused the greatest interest.
There are certain philosophers who
claim this is because the American
lives all the time at too high pressure
that cold weather has % restraining
inufience which is withheld in dog
days, and man either goes half mad
aud commits follies or turns brute and
commits crime There are those
who say that eating too much meat is
at the bottom of the trouble. Others
with more probability, claim that
alcohol is the cause of most of it, but
none of these explanations accounts
for all of the things which occur at
