iSji5RLDLACKS WORK.
VAUGHAN ASSERTS.
Quarter of laborers Are Idle,
He Says Upon Return
From Europe
TELLS OF AID TO RUSSIA

Samuel Nauclain. president Of Bald.
win Locomotive Works, arrived in New
York today on the White star liner
Olympic after two. months trip to
Europe.
The situation is improving rapidly
over two years ago, but ~ per cent OF
he world * still idlc," said Mr.. vau-
cinin in commenting on conditions in
Europe. This is principally due to
scarcity Of money, lack Of confidence.
and the adjustment of government regu-
lutions. Of the 10 per cent of the
world that is busy, actually only 81 u
per cent is producing, us the 70 per cent
is only on half time.
"rhc difficulty Fruncc and England
are having in keeping men busy is due
to German competition, due to the low
value Of the mark aud wages in Ger
many. German labor, when put on the
American standard, is only paid about
one tenth Of what is paid in the United
States, and one-tifth of what Is paid
a good mechanic in Ger.
many can earn 100 marks a day. which
in our money is about fifty cents.
This condition viii exist as long as
the German mark is kept at its present
value. When the value of the mark in
crenscs Germany will find it difficult to
compete in the world markets. The
railroad strike in Germany is not par
ticularly important, nor is it surpris.
ing, due TO the low rate Of compensa.
tiUn.
The English labor situation Is bad
from two points Of view, the high
cost of labor and materials and the
Government gold situation which sup
ports the unemployed. Before this
situation improves it will be necessary
tor the English plants to operate on a
basis profitable for them.
The operation of the plants today in
England is at loss and not mt q
profit. Lloyd George Is anxious for
the Genoa conference to come about
because he hopes in this way to open
up Russia to British manufacturers.
"Thc Hoover relief administration in
Rrssia is accomplishing its purpose and
is handling the situation there in All
excellent manner"
