"Staggering' Experiences.

Information obtained from authorita-
tive sources. in Great Britain and Can
ada as to how the problem was handled
there disclosed what are described as
the most staggering kind of expert
ences" 1t appeared that because the
war was sudden, prominent firms and
corporations in burst of patriotism
publicly announced that they would
give full pay during the war to every
man who bore arms. This was intended,
it was explained, to encourage enlist
ment.
Something like ruinous confusion and
chaos threatened many of the lmpor-
tant industries of Great Britain and
drain upon business. the American
manufacturers were informed. The
generous offers made at the beginning
of the war set pace which public SEN
timent foStered and encoura ged, but
which business was unable to keep up.
The result has been, the investigation
showed that undertakings made by
heads of firms throughout the indus
tries to their employees had to be can
celed, and the entire method of deal
ing with the problem in Great Britain
and Canada has had to be readjusted.
Among Canada's chief difficulties was
the system by which individual firms
permitted their employees to go to the
front on full or part pay. thereby es-
tabliShing an .'undemocratic order of
things in the trenches. The Canadian
employers concluded that condition
where men fought side by side with a
different ratio of remuneration for
their patriotism naturally bred discon-
tent and. in their opinion. was morally
wrong. Enlistments, moreover. Were
encouraged without regard to skilled
or unSkilled labor, with the result that
production was severely handicapped.

Temporary Help Problem.

Employers who had promised their
employees to give them back their own
Jobs found it impossible to fulfill their
promises. Many came back manned
and injured, and after two years of war
been created in the factories. The
problem of getting rid of this tempo
rary help on the return of the soldiers
proved a difficult one.
The employer in Great Britain and
Canada would first of all. it was ex-
planned, provide for "selective conscrip-
tion,' taking young unmarried men,
and even from this first draft send
back to the factories every man who
was skilled workman.
The British and Canadian govern
ments have decided. the American
manufacturers have been informed, to
pay a subsistence allowance to each
dependent family representing a figure
sufficient for food and rent alone. That
has been figured out to be S516S a
month for a family of two adults and
three children, paid by the government
direct to the dependent family.
There is the separation allowance" of
$40 a month per family for moderate
comforts. clothes, etc, and the com
passionate allowance" made at the dis
cretion of a central agency distribut-
ing the fund in exceptional cases.
These separation" and "compassion-
ate" allowances are not paid by the
government. but come out of a national
patriotic fund raised by voluntary pub
lie subscriptions and distributed
through some central agency.
1t is understood that in this country
d very definite analysis would have to
be made for the adjustment of these
allowances in accordance with varying &
cost of living and different standards of
living existing in various parts of the

Liberal Demand for River Oysters.

Favorable weather brought into port
yesterday several vessels laden with
oysters from the beds in the lower
Potomac and the bay. At the oyster
wharf yesterday afternoon it was esti
mated that about 1.400 bushels had been
brought in aboard the six vessels in the
docks, and so heavy was the demand
that 1900 bushels were sold quickly
and taken uptown by the dealers. Prices
yesterday ranged from 60 to 10 cents a
bushel for good stock, but this morning
it is stated high as so cents a bushel
is being asked for Potomac river
oysters. The oyster-taking season has
but eleven days to run, but oysters will
be on sale at the wharf market through
the remainder of the spring and the
summer months. until the next oyster
