district by Trade Union negotiations
or by industrial arbitration.
Moreover, the new Resolution spe-
officially requires the contractor to OBJ
serve fair conditions of labor as well
as fair wages.
Faith In New Resolution
Further, under the old Resolution
the Minister responsible for the CON
tracing department had to decide, if
dispute arose. whether or not fair
wages We're being paid. The new ReSo-
luton stipulateS that any such ques-
ton must be reported to the Minister
of Labor. and if the point is not settled
by negotiation. it will be referred TO
arbitration. The new Resolution also
contains provision requiring the con
tractor to recognize the freedom of
his workpeople to be members of Trade
Unions.
The Unions attach much importance
to the terms of this new Resolution,
and the spirit in which it has been
framed is indicated by the fact that "a
statement is to he made by the Gov
ernment to Parliament in the present
session aS evidence of the Govern
ment'S good faith.

LondOn-NumerouS sidelights on the
general industrial position in Britain
can now be focused. One Of these
falls on unemployment. There is no I'M
employment problem now for practi-
cally everybody in Britain fit for work
is working.
Latest official figures showing the
the Employment Exchanges give a
total of less than 100000 TwO-thirds
of them have been classified by Inter
viewing Panels of the Ministry of
Labor, on which the Trade Unions are
represented, as unsuitable for ordinary
industrial employment. \ year ago
there were nearly a quarter of mil
lion wholly unemployed workers; now
official figures show that there are
fewer than 10000 seeking work. or in
transition from one job to another.
Another sideight deals with the
contribution to the national effort
made by the working people through
the Voluntary Savings Movement. The
present War Savings Campaign began
three years ago. 1t has been drawing
off surplus purchasing power at the
rate of something like SIP millions Il
week. In the first year the collection
Of small savings amounted to 3415
millions In the second year Il total of
s615 millions was collected In the
third year, although the final figure
has NOT yat bpnn uIbli shed if has n
ready reached &61S millions. This
gives a grand total OF f1,70S millions.
1t is worth emphasizing the point
| that these figures represent voluntary
Surenders by individual citizens of sur
| plus purchasing power. Practically all
of it is income left unspent and will
| ingly handed over to the Government
after payment of very heavy taxation.
Everybody in Britain who earns more
than 60 Il week pays income tax, (Sub-
.ject of course to "reliefs" in respect of
dependents allOWanceS). And the totals
given do not include workers contri-
buttons to many voluntary funds. such
as the Red Cross penny-a-Week Fund,
the Aid to Russia Fund and the United
Aid to China Fund.
Thousands From Red Cross Pennies
The TUG. General Council has just
decided to appeal to the 100000 work
ing men and women who have been
voluntarily contributing Il week Y
penny to the Red Cross Fund to double
their contributions. Average receipts

Labor News From Britdin

from hOuse-tO-hOuSe collections of the
workers pennies and group collections
organized by some 1000 committees in
industrial plants, now exceed $4,000
a week.
Urging the claims of the Red Cross
on the working people, the Il. L. c.
point out that the Red Cross is spend
ing more than f4Rmillion a year on
priSOnCr-of-war service alone 1t has
already sent over S,OO0,000 parcels of
and sports equipment to prisoners in
German and Italian hands, and to men
in Japanese prison camps.
This is only one of many humane
services rendered b" the Red Cross
organization, which includes care Of
the sick and wound I'd, eguipping and
maintenance of hos )itals and cOnval-
escent homes, relies for civilian air
raid victims, the concentration of vast
stores To meet the needs of people at
home and abroad, and the never-ending
search for the missing. The sustained
and systematic support working people
are giving to the Red Cross will be
enlarged by the response that is GER
tain to be made to the TUG. appeal
to transform the Penny-a-Week into
twopence a week. The TUG. has been
represented from the beginning of the
war on the Executive Committee of the
Red Cross and st. John War OrganiZa-
ton, and on the Committee responsible
for the raising of its funds.
Fair Wages And Conditions
For many years workers engaged on
Government contracts and contracts
made by local public authorities have
been protected by Fair Wages Reso-
Commons over Il generation ago. By
the goodwill of the present Govern
ment, and in agreement with the
| TUG. and the British Employers
Confederation, a new Fair Wages
Resolution, much wider in scope than
| the old one, has been drafted. This is
to be submitted to Parliament ut the
end of the war.
1t will embody the principle that
the standard of fair wages is ont To be
merely the practice of good employ
ers" in the district. All employers TAX
| ing public contract will be required
under the new regulations to observe
such conditions as have been eStab-
lished for the trade or industry in the
