BRITISH FIRMS
GIVE JOBS TO
GERMAN YARDS
Dawes Plan Hammered
Down Wage Scale
(By the Federated Press.)

LONDON-British labor is fiicked
with the whip of foreign competition
just when the leaders of the largest
unions are working for a united front
in the struggle for, higher wages. A
contract for building five 10000 ton
cargo boats goes to a German concern
on the ground that the work can be
done more cheaply in Hamburg. Many
British shipyard workers are out Of
job and the anti-unioh forces find the
contract a made-to-order argument for
reducing wages and abolishing trade
union conditions.
The ability Of the German firm to
underbid British yards by from $780,.
900 to $4S0,OOO per boat is still mys-
terry. There is evidence OF collision
on the part of the British employers
who are bent on undermining the
wage movement and substituting
downward one. Secretary John Hill
of the Boilermakers' Union points out
that the winning German bid was con.
siderably above the normal British
price per ton and that the lowest Brit.
ish bid was inexcusably high. Hill
says, 'It is all part of some capitalist
design which is now being applied not
only to shipbuilding but to shipping"
international Situation.
Foreign competition underlles the
deadlock in the British metal trades
negotiations. The employers fedora
ton refuses to discuss wage increases
unless the Amalgamated Union agrees
to consider lowering the standard Of
working : conditions. Among the
points the employers want considered
are the lower wages and longer week
of competing countries, ability Of con-
tinental countries to undersell owing
to- the depreciation of their currenc-
les, abnormal credits given to foreign
competitors in their efforts to capture
world markets, engineering imports
increasing and exports decreasing in
value per ton. great unemployment in
the metal trades.
The Bosses Threaten.
Cheap foreign competition is also
the bugbear of the British miners in
their attempt to win a bare subsis-
tence wage. The average cost price
of hard coal is $3.50 in Germany com.
pared with s2.s2 in England, the wage
cost amounting to AZ per cent Of the
price in Germany and 65 per cent in
England. German mine workers put
in to II hours a day compared with
a 7-houf day "a British mines. Lord
Rothermere, head of the capitalist
press combine, has given the miners
an ultimatum about as follows: "If
you don't stop your talk about getting
decent conditions well get our coal
from Germany and then where will
you miners be?"
Final decision on the miners pro-
gram awaits the fate of a bill spon-
sored by their representatives in par.

imum wage act. The miner officials
are meeting the executives of the
other big unions in an attempt at

BUSINESS REVIEW

American Manufacturing Industries 'gin 1928 Attain Stride Comparable
 With That of 1919.
 Washington, June 26 R-Amer- ican manufacturing industries in 1923 attained stride comparable with the abnormal activity of 1919. 1t was shown today,in census bureau reports for New York and Pennsyl- vania, the two greatest manufactur- ing states.
 Their combined output in 1923. nearly s,4oo,000,000, exceeded the 1919 figures and was worth more than the output of the entire coun- try in 1904 and any year prior to that. Should like increases be shown for other states it is believed the 1919 record total of s62,41s,- 100000 will be exceeded.
 New York,s manufactures were valued at ss,960,593, 900, an in crease of 2S.5 per cent over 1921, the preceding census year. An aver age of 1.150,9O1 workers were enl- ployed, an increase of 15 per cent and they were paid sl,5s2. .o06. 900. or. 2l.4 per cent more than in 1921.
 Clothing manufacture was listed as the states chief industry.
 The output in Pennsylyania was worth s7.4ss, ,6os.Ooo. a 47 per cent increase over 1921.
 Employees totalled 1,o9S,o6s and wages amounted 10 s1,450.s26,000 increases of 2ss per cent and 44.I per cent respectively over 1921.
 Operation of steel works and roll ing mills was the states chief in dHstry.

course? What I mean is-a chauffeur
goes, too?"
Sir William made a sound between
a snort and a laugh; Lady Heritage
smiled. Both had the air of being
pleased to catch Henry out.
"The chauffeur is Lewis, who was
your uncle's coachman here for 25
years Are you going to suggest that
he has been selling Formula "A to a
foreign power? I'm afraid you must
think again."
who is Mr.. Ember?"
Sir William exploded.
"Embers my secretary. He's been
my right hand for 10 years, and If
you're going to make insinuations
about him, you can leave my house
and make them elsewhere. Why,
damn it all, March.-why not accuse
Raymond. or me?'
81 don't accuse any one, sir"
There was pause, whilst the two
men looked at one another. 1t was
Sir William who looked away at last.
He drained his glass and got up,
pushing his chair SO hard that 1t
overturned.
You want to see all the men to
check 'em by that Internal list of
yours, do you? The sooner the better
then; let's get it over"
Later, as the men answered to their
names in the long, bare room which
had once been the blue parior,
Henry was struck with the strange
ness of the scene. Here his aunt had
loved to sit doing an interminable
embroidery Of fruits and flowers upon
canvas. Here he and Anthony had
lain prone before the fire, each with
his head in a book and his heels wav-
ing aloft. Memories Of Fenimore

The flush upon Sir Williams face
deepened alarmingly. Upon the
bristling gray brows his eyes were
hard with anger. He began to speak,

quantity of soda into 1t with a vi
cious jerk and then sat with the
glass between his hands, alternately
slipping from it and interjecting
sounds OF angry protest.
The information Is, I'm afraid,
correct"
Henry's tone, though studiously
moderate, was extremely firm. There
is undoubtedly a leak and, in view
of Formula b. it is vital that the
leak should be found and stopped"
He addressed himself to Lady
Heritage:
Sir William tells me that all en-
ployes correspond with the list in
my possession, and that none of them
leave the inclosure. and that all let
ters are censored. BY the way, who
censors them?"
'Ember," growled Sir William.
Lady Heritage elaborated the re-
mark.
Mr. Ember-fatheTs secretary"
She and Henry were both standing,
with the corner of the writing table
between them. She saw inquiry in
Henry's face. He said:
''Who does leave the premises"

And Alington?"
Lady Heritage came to a halt by

ton is just man." she said. 'He
stands for what men have always
stood for, the sacred right Of the
vested interest. What man ever
wants to alter anything? And why
should he, when the existing order
gives him all he wants? 1t doesn't

est blocks the way; you are up

like to smash 1t all, the whole thing,
the whole SNUG sham which we call

Jane stared at her open-eyed. She
had never dreamed that the statue
could wake into such vivid life as
this. The color burned in Raymond's
cheeks, the somber eyes were somber
still, but they held sparks as if from
inward fire.
Ember touched the hand that was
of tremor passed over her from head
to foot. The color died. the fire was
gone. With a complete change of
manner she said:
Arlington was hardly worth all
that, was he?" Then without a
change of key, but in German:

head. 1t was stupid of me; l forgot.
The door opened on her last words,

frowning, and appeared to be in a
great hurry.

waste of time. These damned depart
ments appear to think I've nothing to
do with my time except to answer
their Internal inquiries, and entertain

Heritage-"Governm Inspection"
Nonsense said Sir William slowly.
Henry March wants to come down
for the night"
Jane bent forward over her papers.
No one was looking at her. no one
was thinking of her, but she had felt
her cheeks grow hot, and was glad
of an excuse to hide them.
She did not know whether she was
very much afraid or very glad. A
feeling unfamiliar but overwhelming
seemed tc. shake her to the depths.
She was quite unconscious of what
was passing behind her.
At Henry's name, Raymond Heritage
uttered a sharp "Oh no!" She came
quickly forward as she spoke and
caught the letter from Sir William s
hand.
He can't come-I can't have him
here--put him off, Father; you can
make some excuse"
"Nonsense!" said Sir William again
It's a nuisance, of course-it's an
Internal nuisance. but he'll have to
come, confound him."
Then, as she made half-articulate
protest, he went on with increasing
loss of temper:
Good heavens! l can't very well
tell the man | won't have him in

1t was Ember. not her father, who
saw how frightfully pale Raymond
became. In very low voice she said:

Sir William was fidgeting. He
looked at James back
"Of course, he's coming down on

Then he broke off and stared at
Jane again.
Lady Heritage nodded.
