CONDITIONS OF LABOR AND
 LABORERS IN FOREIGN LANDS

steps have been taken towards the formation of a Hongkong Shipown- ers' Association.
 NORWAY
 Mining Industry.-In reply to in quiries made relative to the effect Of the decisions of 1922 of the Nor wegian compulsory arbitration court in matters affecting labor, wages, etc., it is openly stated by mine owners, several of whom have decided to dis continue operations entirely, that complete stagnation of the mining in dustry of North Norway is not far distant.
 ENGLAND
 Wages.-Accordnig to the Ministry of Labour Gazette for June, 1922, rates of wages are continuing to fall, as Is evidenced by total reductions of over 3oo,ooo pounds in the weekly full-time wages of nearly 2,eoo, o,ooo workers. Increases amounted to less than 4,ooo pounds in the wages of about I75,ooo workers.
 Dockyard Wages. - "War in creases" in the wages of workmen employed in the dockyards and other admiralty establishments were order ed reduced, on July 2I, 1922, from ,1,1S, Ou, to AOS. WGSk T UT lIlcI re- auctions of s. and 2s. a week dur ing this month are contemplated, not withstanding the fact that a consider able number of employees have been discharged
 GERMANY Frankfurt.-There is a noticeable heavy stream of married women and domestics who are entering the better paid factory employments. Saxony.-During recent months the lack of skilled help in all branches of industry and trade in Saxony has be- come very noticeable. Competent authorities are trying to remedy this condition by conducting Courses in practical education in the various fac tories.
 Silesian Coal Industry.-Although the number of workmen employed in the coal industry of Upper Silesia is about 50 per cent. greater than in the pre-war period, the output is said to be 24.4 per cent. below that of 1914. Shorter shifts and the elimination oi overtime are contributing causes of the decreased output.
 Work Regulation.-For the pur- pose of stemming the tide of farm la borers who flock to the towns to ob- tain industrial employment at higher wages, there has recently been in voked a legal regulation whereby a person who voluntarily gives up his regular farming employment in favor of industrial work can not obtain un- employment aid when he finds him self out of work

 BELGIUM
 Strikes.-Strikers in the building construction industry are still out, and a settlement seems to be impos- sible It is stated that contractors are certain to suffer losses on account of the strike, inasmuch as the city government has decided that in the case of contracts for buildings for the city a strike will not be considered as a reason for failure to complete a contract on time. In the meantime many building workmen are leaving for France.
 Striking lockers, who were en- gagged in unloading lumber, have re- turned to work following the grant ing of a wage increase, by the port commission, of four francs a day dur ing the summer months and two francs a day during the winter months The increased wages are said to be four times those of 1914

These workers will come from eastern Can adan points and the United States.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

The General Federation of Womens Clubs has now taken up cudgels for the defense of The Star Spangled Banner the national anthem of the United States.
 There has been much criticism of that song. It Is charged that most Americans cannot sing the tune rectly and have known the words. Complaint has also been made that the third contains phrase friendly toward Great Britain and that the tune itself an adaptation of an old drinking song
 The club women maintain reasonably enough that the of the music is nothing against it. If to begin eliminating from music all airs descended from old drinking songs number of wel-lOved and re- spected hymn tunes would have to go The "hatred breathing third stanza is rarely sung and Is harmless anyhow.
 As to the difficulty of singing the song the music division of the Federation nothing It isn't really important point. There enough persons in any singing group who carry the tune to make go Most school children know the national anthem while they are in school and would be likely to remember in later life if singing common practice at publc gath lerings There really isn much either m throwing out difficult song because people can't sing It, when the song beautiful and has been sung and loved as many years The Star Spangled Banner
