CHAMBRE OF COMMERCE
PROMOTES GOOD WILL
BETWEEN THE RACES

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 14.-The Nor
folk Chamber of Commerce has
committee on labor, of which a negc
has been made member. The city
also has Negro Workers Advisory
Committee composed of three white
city officials and twenty-five colored
men and women. In tn acute labor
shortage of the past year both these
committees have rendered signal SER
vice in enlisting the interest and help
of Negro workers of all grades.
Backed by the whites these nagroes
card-indexed every negro capable OF
work, and then carried on a cam
naign of education which brought the
desired results by the force OF en-
lightenment and moral suasion alone.
An officer of the Chamber OF Com
merce writes Of white and colorec
workers alike "every able-bodfed man
and boy in this community had MS
shoulder to the wheel in an effort TO
win the war.
Following this service the city au'
thorities, on receiving complaints OF
conditions in the negro sections
asked the Advisory Committee TO sub
NIT a program of improvements
showing each street and the work
needed. Their report, after due con-
sideration, was adopted by the coun-
ciI and the work is already under
way.
This cooperative plan works wei
in Norfolk. Friction is reduced the

THE LABOR PROBLEM IN BRITAIN
(By Associated Press.)

10Y AbSUCIdICu IISsS.J
London, Aug. 14.-Recent increas-
es in wages of British workmen have
been the subject of very serious de-
bate by economists, employers and
others as one of the bedrock prob
lens of reconstruction, i'm the sense
that the nation may stand or fall by
it.
Some say the question which con
fronts British industry is whether
the pendulum of wages may noe
swing so high that production for
competition with rival nations will
become Improbable and then impos-
sible.
Higher wages for all" is The de.
mand of the organized and un-or-
ganized workers. With 1t is the cry

YOU" is the response from many en-
ployers.
The question has been seriously
raised here whether England in the
past has owed her pre-eminence In
the worlds industrial markets to un
derpaid British labor. That view was
expressed by Frank Vanderlip, New
York Banker, when he returned to
America a few weeks ago after spend.
ing several months in Europe.
There are shrewd business men who
contend that British labor has not
been cheap, but considered solely as
an item in the cost of production has
been relatively costly when com.
pared with the labor of the United
States.
The topic came forward at recent
informal gathering in London o
american and British captains of in
dustry. Some were men who com
mand great enterprises, who thinl
in terms of millions of pounds ant
brigades of workmen. Their tall
dealt with the iron and steel produc
tions, shipbuilding, the various In
dustries and manufactures of ma
ohinery, motors, sewing machines ant
the like.
The concensus OF opinion amonI
them seemed to be that the averag
skilled English workman Of pre-wa
times paid a small wage, got NOR
money for what he did than the aver
age American artisan, that the 1abo
cost of producing commodities in thi
country was greater than for produc
ing similar goods in the Unite,
States.
Limitation Of output by trade
unions and obstruction against labo
saving machinery, not lack of ability

smaller results by British working
men. Speed up the work and yol

Permits Increase Wheat
Exports, Says Barnes
Director Denies Charges Re-
tention of Embargo Aided
Speculation

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Julius H
Barnes, United States director of
wheat. appeared to-day before the
Senate Committee on Agriculture and
Forestry. to answer charges that the
United States Grain Corporation had
aided speculation by preserving the
embargo on wheat after the need for
such restriction had ceased.
"The real facts" Mr.. Barnes de-
clared, "are that export permits have
facilitated the export of wheat and
wheat -four to the extent of 10000
bushels in three and one-half months
an amount that has been exceeded
only twice III our history"
Mr.. Barnes admitted the control
which the grain corporation had exer.
cised dusing the two years of the wal
emergency should be removed in the
near future, but urged that steps to
corsummate this should provide for &
gradual transition to pre-war con
d.ton and not an abrupt change.
One Of the first steps, he said
would be the elimination of export
and import restrictions authorized
under the wheat guarantee act. He
recommended to the President the re-
moval of the embargo restrictions or
June 30, he added, but for fear removal
Of these restrictions might lead to adj
vancing bread prices, action was de.
ferred.
