What As years in business
have taught him about selling

William Hamlin Chi1ds, Chairman
ofthe Executive Board of The Barrett
Company and Vice-President of The
Bon Ami Company, is connected with
anumber of very large industrial enter
prises. Most of these concerns are
liberal and consistent advertisers. In a
recent issue of System" he pointed out
some selling principles that, in his judg
ment, are vital to success. Therefore,
the following excerpts from that article
should prove of interest to every busi-
ness man. He writes:

Life-savino in the Mines.

In 1911 the death rate by violence
In the Mines of the United States was
All per 1000 men employed. In 1919
the death rate was 3.23 per 1000. The
decline has been fairly steady, and
the federal bureau of mines Is
credited with the major part of the
Improvement,
The bureau has preached the gospel
of safety first to owners, foremen and
common laborers. 1t sends training
crews from mine to mine, showing the
best ways OF meeting the problems Of
each particular digging with the
least possible danger. II has studied
foreign methods Of life-saving In mines,
and imported all that appear adapted
to our conditions.
There is room for still further re-
duction In the death rate, but what
has been accomplished already Is en-
couraging.

Farmland Supply Increases.

An increased supply of farm hands
is evidenced in a report OF the indus
trial commission, which shows that
during March of this year LIZA men
were placed at work on farms, as
against ATS men in 1920.
The figures were compiled by the
IL free employment agencies OF the
state of Wisconsin.
The men placed this year by the
employment offices are of much
higher grade, than In former years.
Practically all of the men sent out
are experienced farmhands. many of
whom drifted to the cities during the
last few years. There is keen de-
mand for good farmhands, and some
demands even for inexperienced men,

INDUSTRIAL COURT IN LONDON
Through It's Workings Many simpor-
tant Agreements Have Been Made
and Controversies Ended.

An industrial court was set up In
London In the latter part OF 1919 I'M
der the provisions OF the Industrial
courts act. approved November 20
1919. Up to March 3. 1920, 20s differ
ences which could not be settled by
negotiations between the employers
associations and the trade unions had
been referred to Ii, and In many i'm
portant cases agreements had been
reached. The court had settled the
general wages agreement FOR the Scot
fish building trade, gas undertakings
throughout Great Britain. the smelter
trade, the clay industry. the bobbin
and shuttle-making industry, the seed
crushing and oil milling industry, the
organ-bulldIng trade, and wages OF
women employed IN railroad shops.
The cases were for the most part
heard In London, but the court also
sat In other large cities. with chair
man, representative of the employees
and a representative of the employers
constituting the tribunal. Some cases
were dealt with by a single member OF
the court. The differences were
chiefly wage questions. but other In
dustrial matters came up. There are
two women members of the court, Vio-
