Trials of the
Manufacturer

The individual manufacturer therefore.
finds himself up against situation with
respect to labor which only the govern
ment can control; he cannot find his own
way out, for the barriers were government
made and only the government can take
them down. The government, in turn in
order to carry out it's contracts and COM
pacts with the people needs a further con-
trol-that of raw materials. 1t will not
make much difference what labor does
if only enough material can be had for
fabrication so that England can, for the
time being, supply some of the markets
and especially the home market which is
waiting for goods and services at almost
any price.
Because England is more dependent upon
imported material than any other of the AL
lies she is absolutely hanging her existence
as n nation upon being able to get
proper share at proper price of the worlds

governmental control is most distasteful

2-"The second thing required from the
government is an early announcement con-
corning future taxation. Before big in
dustrial projects are launched, manufac-
turers must know on what basis the excess
profits tax is to be placed, and what gen
eral taxation is likely to be levied"
That is, the employers must know where
they stand-quite aside from all rehabilita-
ton schemes-before they can even think of
getting material with which to begin
the work of manufacturing or of revamping
for peace business. They are tied hand
and foot and yet the workers and the peo-
pie generally expect the army to demobilze
right into jobs and everything to go along
as it did before. And since the govern
ment has underwritten the obtaining of
jobs it is not the workers who are bother
ing about how or where the jobs are COM
ing from; they are content to take a we'll
earned rest from war or munition making
at the expense of the tax payers The
employers are big tax payers; they are
in the delightful position of being COM
PEELED to pay one way or the other; the
workers only bother when some one inter-
venes to prevent them from having a job
which they do not want. They are all

or agreement on raw materials England
will not be able to demobUize her army
and reconstruct herself as an industrial
nation.
That is what the control of raw materials
means to England.
There must be employment, and without
the material with which to work there
cannot be employment
Take this half-offcal statement:
There are many different aspects of
this problem of the supply of imported
raw material. Our financial standing as a
nation is dependent upon imported raw
material for the production of goods for
export. Our cotton trade, for example,
is a great part of our export trade, and
cotton manufacture in England is entirely
dependent upon imports. Again, if we do
not assure a supply of imported raw ma
terlal Tor the boot and shoe trade or the
woollen trade, our manufacturers of machin-
cry Will be unable to find sufficient orders
employment, however, is a more urgent
problem than the problem of finance and
commerce, and employment depends upon
imported material. 1t is, therefore.
only from CnlS point OF view that we shall
here attempt to describe the situation with
which we shall be faced during the trans-
ton from war to peace. There were about
100000 men and 100000 women in the
metal and chemical trades during the war.
Most of these women and about 200 900 of
these men will be leaving their occupa-
tons and seeking for non-munitions work.
About three or four million men will come
back from the fighting forces, and there will
be a considerable transference from one in
dustry to another. But the industries which
now have less labor than they had in july,
1914, are precisely those which need import
ed raw material. For example, the building
industry has about 100000 men less than
it then had, the textile industries 100000
less, the paper and printing industries
100000 less. Those numbers show that
there will be work for all returning men
and exmuntion workers if we have raw
material We need cotton, wool, timber.
wood pulp and many other materials from
abroad"

the men about the bar, and their voices
rang merrily, though through the song
there was a certain strain of suspense,
though the singers were ready to stop on
the instant, given the proper signal. Even
as they sang their minds seemed to be filled
with pleasant "reminiscences; their glances
wandered almost affectionately over the
room
The song ceased; the voices ceased. The
burly figure of the stranger had made its
way behind the bar and was facing the
rest.
The package he had guarded so carefully
was resting on the wood in front OF him.
AS q dignitary changes into his robes of
office he had laid aside his street clothes
to don coat of white, strangely antique
in cut.
"Gentlemen,' he said slowly, I'VE have
arrived at solemn time in our little group.
Our perverse sentiments have led US to
how much pains you know. For a time we
have resurrected bit of the past, placed
it in the present, contrary to the Federal
laws, a piece of American tradition dis
credited by popular opinion. But now the
time has come when it must drop back again

An Episode Under the Super-Terror''

he bore stamped upon him something of
the dignity of age. He was majestic, even
with the nautical trend of his gait; majestic:
digniiied and even little melancholy, were
his smile discounted
A strange figure, and small wonder that
they looked twice at him as he passed down
the street alone
1t required trained IMAGINATION to con-
meet his predcament with the bundle he
carried beneath his arm. but strange as
were his actions the bundle equalled them
in oddness. In the terms Of solid geometry
it might be termed right angled prism.
long and symmetrical, done up with meticu-
lous care in sturdy brown paper. Stronc
hempen twne held the paper in place, and
attached to the twne was q handle of wood
and wire, of q singularly antique make. But
he was not carrying the bundle by the
handle. Instead he held it like a thing of
price. Were it not for the handle and
brown paper it might have been a doll he
was bringing to happy offspring But it
was not a doll, nor yet was it patent
medicine.
Something it was beyond the ken of hoi
pollol, yet IN the eye of the man who fol-
lowed came CLEAN of recognition and he
heightened his stride. But the other had
glanced over his shoulder. The smile had
left his face, to be suppanted by look
akin to terror. Clutchng his bundle the
more tightly beneath his arm, he became
suddenly electrified with activity. Three
leaps and a sideward bound sufficed to carrv
him into the vortex of the crowd about a
subway entrance. A second more and he
was lost in the clamor of the modern
catacombs. Painting from his unaccustomed
exercise, staring at some vision his fears
had conjured, dishevelled by his haste, he
followed in the direction of a green line
painted on the arched roof of concrete
passage, shifted to a red line and thence
to black, to end exhausted in the depths
of an outgoing express. The roaring whrr
of the wheels seemed to revive him, but
fast as the train could go there was some
thing in pursuit, something perhaps born of
