THE BLANKETEER UPRISING

The present industrial unrest in the war, recalls the fact that today is the 102nd anniversary of the Blank eteer uprising in England, one of the rebelIions of toilers which followed the successful conclusion of Britain's campaigns against Napoleon. It was the purpose of the BIanketeers to commence a great insurrection of the toilers. Most of them were Man chester cotton operat -es, and on March 10, 1877, they met in St Peters Field, near the great indus trial city, to begin their march on London. Most of the disgruntled workers had blankets fastened to their backs, and this led to their being termed Blanketeers, The mob did not pro gress far on the way to London, being dispersed by troops.
 At Nottingham the large number of unemployed artisans, calling them selves Luddites, committed great ex- cesses, breaking frames and machin- cry. In October of 1917 several of the Luddite leaders were tried for high treason, and Brandreth. Turner and Ludlam were executed. Eventu- ally tho ringleaders of the BlanL- eteers had an interview with the cab inet ministers, and a better under standing between the working classes and the government ensued.
 Although Great Britain successfully weathered the industrial storm which followed the Napoleonio wars, the general distress incident to unemploy- nrent and the heavy taxes required to meet the financial legacies of the war continued for years. Tariff restric- tions in other countries forced British factories. mills and mines to suspend the tax on importation of foodstuffs caused prices to soar. The labor market was overcrowded because of tho competition of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and sailors sud- denly discharged. The working peo- pie, reduced to the verge of starva- ton, held riotous meetings in all the industrial centers. The influence of the press, and of the radical oppo- sition in Parliament, eventually fore ed a peaceful solution of the many problems, and the popular control of government was increased rather than diminished by the test. whereas in other European countries the war resulted - the re-egtablisl ment of the old despotisms, which throttied the freedom of the press. silenced for a time the voice of democracy, and ruthlessly crushed into submission the discontented workers.

r ''The organization of the Bridgeport |

 reaching and nefarious plan to pre-

 ed to prevent the manufacture and shipment of arms to the Allies, the German propagandists conceived the idea of preventing these shipments by
 creating an American corporation, ap- parently dominated and controlled by loyal American citizens, ostenibly for the purpce of engaging in the manu- facture of munitions. on an enormous scale.
 "The plan had the backing of Count von Bernstorff, pr. Albert, Dr. Dernberg, Capt. von Papen and the other German propagandists in this country.

WAY TO AVOID
LABOR UNREST
Organization of All Interests Con-
cerned, and Collective Bar
gaining, Urged.
GRAVE DANGER IN SITUATION
Commission Which Made an Exhaus-
tive Study Of Conditions in Great
Britain and This Country Made
Recommendations of Importance.

Study of Industrial conditions in
Great Britain, for guidance in similar
activities In this country, furnished the
subject of special report made to the
United States department of labor by
an employers commission which was
sent to England. In general, the com
missioners are agreed that labor unrest
may best be avoided, in both countries,
by complete organization Of all the
interests concerned and by collective
bargaining.
The chief lessons of the inquiry are
that capital and labor should reach
and maintain good understanding
through their associations; that max
imum quality output should be sought;
that wages should insure a decent
standard of living, regardless of fluc-
tuations in the price of commodities;
that fair provision should be made by
law to minimize the risks of unemploy-
ment, i'll health or age, and that gov
eminent concern in industry should be
limited to the protection of society
Labor demands for a "voice in man.
agement" and housing" have different
definition in the two countries, and
thus are not commonly applicable.
Secretary Wilson appointed the
American commissioners at the in
stance of Roger w. Babson, director
general of the information and educa-
ton service of the department. They
were: r. T. Gundlach, who is con-
nected with advertising, publishing and
industrial interests in Chicago; r. j.
Caldwell, president and owner of cot
ton mills in Connecticut; Dorr e. Felt,
manufacturer of adding machines and
president of the Illinois Manufacture
ers' association; Eldon B. Keith, shoe
manufacturer of Brockton, Mass, who
died while on the mission; William H..
Ingersoll, watch manufacturer; and
r. r. Otis, builder, of Atlanta DR..
Royal Meeker economic adviser of the
department, and B. M. Squires, chair
man of the board Of arbitration Of the
shipping board, statistician, accom-
panied the commission, as did several
others in secretarial and fiscal capaci-
ties.
81 note" Mr.. Babson wrote in sub
hitting the report, "that British en-
ployers who formerly shared the views
still held by many American business
men are now to a surprising degree
united in the belief that disorganiza-
ton of the employed spells disorder
and all it's attendant dangers. This
view is quite in line with the insistent
messages Of the department, that by
collective bargaining labor unrest Is
allayed,
zone vital fact stands forth in this
report: That according to the view of
British business men, the process Of
change in industry, whatever it may
be, if it is to be an orderly change,
must be effected through organiza-
tons of employers and of employees"

Australian Labor Angry.

The policy of the Australian govern
ment on the minimum wage has been
announced, and labor is disappointed
and openly aggressive. The judgment
of the industrial court, by which the
ruling basic wage was taken to los. Cd.
($2.62) from 9s. ($225) a day, has
been made rallying point for agita-
ton, and the union representatives in
parliament have been persistently in
curing for statement of the official
attitude.
The government was not bound by
the recent decision of the court, but
its moral responsibility seemed clear.
It's duty was to see that all state en-
pfoyees~ received living wage"
which was defined by Judge Brown,
president of the court, as "a sum
sufficient for the normal and reason
able needs of the average employee in
locality where the work under con-
sideration is done or is to be done"
The industrial court jugment held
that san average employee" was q
married man with three children. The
premier, therefore, assumed that what
Judge Brown meant by living wage
was that required by married man
with three children. So the govern
ment argued that If los. Cd. day was
regarded as enough for the reasonable
necessities of that individual then 1t
was too much for a single worker.
For that, and pressing financial rea-
sons, the government refused to apply
the new minimum wage of los. Cd. to
all it's servants.

Economic Expert of the Department Of
Labor Gives Substantial Reasons
for Urging Plan.

The six-hour day for workingmen Is
taken up by the department of labor,
in review of the system proposed by
Lord Leverhulme, one of the largest
employers of Great Britain.
Prof. William f. Ogburn, economic
labor expert of the department Of la
Dor, sums up the British proposal.
One of the strongest points, accord
ing to Professor Ogburn, is two six
hour shifts, which could be worked al
the same rate per shift as the present
eight-hour shift, without loss in pro
duction or manufacturing cost, even
though increased efficiency Is not taker
into the consideration. An example
is quoted as follows:
An industry is selected where the
overhead charge is equal to the cost
of labor.
Assume the production to be 1,00C
items per day, with an overhead cost
of $1,000 and labor cost of $1,000
totaling $1,000, or 50 per item.
This Is under the eight-hour-per-day
shift. Change the system to the six
hour day, and work two shifts, at the
same rate of daily pay as before.
If no increase in efficiency be noted
the production will jump to 1900 items
for twelve hours, as against the 1,00t
for eight.
The cost of the overhead will be the
same-$1 ,000-since overhead does not
change. But the cost for labor will be
$1,000, totaling $4,000 per 1900 items
or same cost per item as under the
eight-hour shift.
Evidence by the page is introduced
however, to show that efficiency will
be increased greatly. If an increase in
efficiency Is granted, commensurate
with the figures set forth. the in
creased production of items per hour
under the six-hour day will bring the
daily production up from 1900 to 1000,
which will reduce the cost Of produc'
ton to $1.50.
Wherefore, it is set forth, in indus
tries where the overhead remains the
same and labor costs equal the over
head, saving could be effected by put
ting the six-hour day into effect.
'Utopia," the land of perfection,
dreamed of by Thomas More, sets the
work day at six hours.

Say labor Must Accept Cut.

Initiation of a nationwide move
ment to "restore sanity and common
sense" in the relations of labor and
industry was urged upon the National
Association of Manufacturers in re-
port of the committee On industrial
betterment, health and safety, read
at the opening session of the associa.
TONS twenty-fourth annual meeting
at New York. Pointing to the heavy
burdens of taxation and increased
costs of freight, communication and
other industrial essentials, the COM
mittee declared that labor must be
brought to realize "that the United
States will never retain world suprem-
acy by six hours of labor five days a
week"
