throw up their hands and cry out
"Kamerad" at us.
Hobson Hilton and myself, with
two other men. went round a side

London, Nov. THE national

believe-and my belief is based on
practical experience--the human ma
chine could and would do as much in
six hours as in eight, except in few
rare industries where exceptional con-
ditions prevail, while the extra hours
worked by the mechanical machine
would enable such an increased out
put to be obtained as to insure the
possibility of the same wages being
paid to the human machine for six as
are at present paid for eight hours
work, says one Of the largest employ
ers of labor In the country. For 1t is
obvious that the mechanical machine,
except for slightly increased cost OF
coal for steam or driving purposes, will
work for twelve hours at much the
same cost as 1t now works for eight,
and with but little extra depreciation.
And the extra hours Of leisure could
be devoted to mental or physical de-
velopment, thus fitting the worker for
higher things. This ideal may not be
attainable at once, but 1t Is worth striv-
Ing for.

landlord who sends out notices of

He is the employer who talks
about the "disloyal and nnpatri-

NEED FOR SCIENTIFIC
DISTRIBUTION OF LABOR.

For a long time the scientific
distribution of labor has been a
problem for those with the In
terests of labor at heart. Until
within the last few years 1t has
been almost wholly at the mercy
Of chance. Where labor has
been plentiful in one part of the
country 1t has been scarce In an
other, perhaps not far away.
The public employment offices
have helped the situation to
some extent. But they can do
much more, and 1t is the aim OF
the association to help them to
do more. At this time, OF all
times, there is no good reason
why the men who are able and
willing to work should not have
work to do and should not be
placed where their labor would
be fairly paid for.
