ENGLAND STANDS
TO BECOME HIGH
WAGE COUNTRY
Financeers See
Change Coming in Great
Britian's Trade

LONDON, Correspondence Of the
Associated Press -Hccsnt increases
in wages of British Workmcn have
been the subject of very serious de-
bate by economists, employers and
others as one of the bedrock prob
lens Of reconstruction, i'll the sense
that the nation may stand or fall by
it.
"Higher wages for ALL is the de-
mand of the organized and morgan
lied workers. With it is the cry for
Shorter hours, better conditions OF
living, freedom to meet the employer
on plane Of business equality, as
two business men meeting together"
"More concentrated work, more in
tclligcnt work and we will try to meet
you" is the response from many
employers.
The question has been seriously
raised here whether England in tho
past has owed her prominence in tho
worlds industrial markets to under
paid British labor That view was
expressed by Frank Vanderlip, New
. York banker, when he returned to
America a few weeks ago after
spending several months in Europe.
There are shrcwd business mer
who contend that British labor has
not been cheap, but considered solely
rs an item in the cost of production
has been relatively costly when com
pared with the labor or the United
States.
The topic came forward at "a re-
cent informal gathering in London
oc American and British captains, OF
industry. Some were men who com
mand great enterprises, who think in
terms of millions OF pounds and bril-
padcs Of workmcn. Their talk dealt
with the iron and steel productions,
shipbuildinr, the various industries
ard manufacturers Of machinery,
motors, sewing machines and the
like.
The conccnsus of opinion among
them seemed to be that the average
skilled English workman of pre-war
times, paid Il small wage, rot more
money for what he did than the
average American artisan, that the
labor cost Of producing commodities
in this country was greater than for
producing similar goods in the United
States.
Limitation of output by trades
unions and obstruction against labor
saving machinery, not lack of ability
were held to be the chief reasons for
smaller results by British working
men. "Spced up the work and you
throw some of Us into the street;
more labor saving machicns and more
men out Of work to be supported by
union funds" was the labor point OF
view.
There is still another factor, the
cost of beer, and that is rather q Iol-
icatc question in some quarters. ar

CONCERNING FORDS
Circular Letter Mailed to All Ford
Dealers in Regard to New
Product.

On account of recent newspaper
articles and the many rumors circu-
lating over the country concerning a
proposed new car to be manufactured
by Mr.. Henry Ford, we believe it ad-
visable to inform our dealers gener-
ally, in order that you may intelli-
gently and uniformly answer all in
quiries.
In the first place, a large majority
of the reports afioat are greatly dis
torted and exaggerated. A new. car
may be manufactured but as to when
it will be manufactured we are not
in position to say, except that we do
know a new car could not possibly be
designed, tested out, manufactured
and marketed in quantities under
two or three years time.
There is nothing, however, indefin-
ite, about the present Ford car. There
are over three million in daily use
at the present time; and every one of
our dealers, through their continued
enthusiastic efforts, can dispose of
our product as rapidly as manufac-
tured. We intend to continue the
production of the reliable Model T
as aggressively as in the past, and
feel that we have the cooperation of
our entire sales organization in for
chilly impressing upon prospective
buyers the exceptional high quality
and dependability of the present
Ford car, backed up by the entire
strength of an organization already
established. .. .r., d.
Our factory and assembly plant
production is being pushed to the
limit, with the thought in mind of
reaching our normal capacity of
7 three thousand cars per day as quick
~ as possible, in order that the de-
mands of prospective buyers might
be met to the fullest POSSIBLE extent
and that our dealers might increase
their profits proportionately. -
We are also taking important steps
TO TO expand and extend our business
abroad, especially in European coun-
tries including Russia. a,s Fl

SERIOUS DANGER
FOUND IN EGYPT
Country in State of Unrest-Many
Troops Needed-Winston Spencer
Churchill Tells House of Condi-
ton in Defending the Gov.
ernment.

London, March 26-Defending the
military service bill in the House of
Commons today, Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary of war, declared
that the whole of Egypt was in vir-
tual state of insurrection. The posi-
ton was so dangerous, he added,
that the government had to appeal to
the men on the point of demobiliza-
ton to return and save their COM
rades from being murdered.
This declaration by the war secre-
tary was brought about by the re-
marks of Sir Donald Maclean, who
said that Great Britain was grossly
over-insured with respect to the
strength of the army. Mr.. Churchill
asked if he followed what was taking
place in almost every country at the
present time, and if so, how could ne
say that there was over-insurance in
keeping 100000 for every purpose,
including ten divisions on the Rhine
and four division in the home coun-
try, less than the number kept here
in the peaceful days before the war.
Only few days ago, continued the
secretary, a situation developed in
Egypt which was of very far-reaching
danger, and which made it necessary
to appeal to the men who were col
lected at various ports for dembolll'
zation to go back and help their COM
rades and save them from being muir
dered. .t E..... .tg,a> -

W.McClelland's Eternal
Wins Brooklyn Handicap
at Aqueduct Race Track

New York, June 81. w. Nc
Cle,land's three-year-old colt Eter-
nal by Sweep-Hazel Burke, won the
historic Brooklyn handicap, at one
mile and a furlong over the Aque-
duct race track today in LAG as.
The popular favorite, Purchase. fin
ished second, three lengths behind
the winner and four lengths in front
of QUESTIONABLE, an extreme out
slider in the wagering. which took
third money.
The winner was quoted at six to
one at which he was heavily backed
by those following him in the last
four or five races, and the colt made
up for his previous disappointments,
by his victory today.
The glory of the race, however,
really belongs to Purchase, which,
carrying III pounds, spent great
deal of his energy by unruly action;
at the barrier, where he almost un-
seated Jockey Lotus at least three
times. L'Errant cut out the pace
for three-quarters of a mile before
Schuttinger on Eternal ran him into
submission. The winners time
40 As is two-ffths of a second
slower than the previous record for
nine furlongs made by H. P. Whit
ney's Borrow in this event two years
ago.
After a delay of six minutes
caused by the cutting up of the ia
vorite, Purchase at the post, the
II horses were sent off to a good
start with L'Errant in the lead I'M
til he reached the turn out of the
back stretch. Schuttinger on Eter-
nal patiently waited right behind the
flying leader until the latter showed
signs OF WEAKNESS at the six-fur-
long pole. Then Eternal took the
lead and opened UP a gap of three
lengths as the field swung into the
long homestretch. Here Purchase.
after being in tight quarters, got
clear sailing and as they turned for
home Eternal was four lengths in
front of Crimper with Purchase
driven and whipped by Lotus, run
ming third and gaining with every
stride
Coming down the stretch Eternal
ran splendidly and showed no in
clination to desist. He had plenty
in reserve when Lotus made his
fra. effort to catch him with the
favo-ite Eternal went right along
to win easily by three lengths, while
Purcase beat QUESTIONABLE, which
stood furious drive in the last fur
long. by four lengths. Crimper fin
ished fourth, Be Frank fifth,
straightforward sixth, and L'Errant
seventh, vile Boniface, Wareloud.

BETTING ON BIG
FIGHT TO START
AT Even MONEY
Books to Be Opened in Toledo
and You Take Your
Choice Without
Any Odds.

Toledo, O., June 23-Betting on
the struggle between Jess Willard
and Jack Dempsey for the worlds
heavyweight championship. July 4.
will get under way in Toledo to-
morrow with the fighters at even
money and take your pick. That's
the information given out tonight
by c B. Chrysler, who is one Of
several who will book on the battle
right here on the scene. Boards
will go up all over the downtown
district during the week and two
are certain to start business to-
morrow.
One of them will be conducted
by Chrysler at the Waldorf hotel
Col. Joe Miller, of 10l Ranch fame,
who tried to stag a fight between
Willard and Fred Fulton and failed
after matching the men, is backing
Chrysler.
The bookers plan right off the
reel to take all the money they can
get at evens and allow the customer
to choose his man, as there are only
two involved, the layers arc not wor-
rying much about the price. An
other thing that will 60 upon the
boards tomorrow will be price OF
l to 5 that Willard does not answer
the bell for the sixth round.
This does not mean that Dempsey
has to finish Jess in five rounds.
Jess may be in such bad shape that
when the bell rings at the end Of the
fifth stanza, while not counted out,
he will be unable to come up for ant
Other round. Those who like Demp-
sey want that extra minute for Jess
to decide that he had enough of the
gruelling.
There is preponderance of
Dempsey money in Toledo today
ard this may make him favorite
shol tly unless much Willard money
SHOWS up presently. Heavy bettors
from New York are on the ground
and arc anxiously awaiting the COM
ing of the Texas oil men, who are
said to be willing to risk fortunes on
the champion.
