Labor News From Britdin

of Pit Production Committees has con
tributed to this result.
Farming methods are undergoing "A
revolution in wartime Britain, mainly
as Il result Of naturalization.
Up to the outbreak of war the mum
Der of tractors in use increased very
slowly. The total grew from 10000 in
1881 to $1,000 in July 1899. There has
been a tremendous increase since, rep
resented by the addition of nearly
100000 h.. p. to the industry by the
use of tractors. BY the end of 1914
there were 10000 tractor ploughS. D.
600 disc harrows, 10000 binders, and
nearly 1000 threshing machines in use.
Free Sharing OF Machinery
Further mechanisation of agricul-
ture is being developed by the Minis
try with the cooperation of the County
War Agricultural Committees. y pro
gram of Help Your Neighbour has
been set in motion by which farm
machinery is freely shared by the
farmers in each district, and the
County Committees are also applying
Il plan this Spring by which supplies
Of tractors are allocated through the
Committees to the farm which needs
them most.
An Agricultural Machinery Develop
ment Board has been at work for more
than Il year to speed up the output of

departments of scientific and Indus
trial Research. as well as the en-
cheering industry. The Board is APP
plying the principle of Standardization.
and also provides educational and adj
visory facilities, including demonStra-
tons, to accuStom the farmers TO the
use of machinery.
The extent of the revolution in farm
ING methods can be measured by the
calculation that the productive power
of one nan with Il tractor is more than
twice that of Il man walking behind
the old-faShioned horse-draWn plough,
or working the horSe-driven reaper.
The Minister Of Agriculture claimed
recently that Britain is now the most
highly ~mcchaniscd farming country in
Europe, possessing far more tractors
than the Germans for fewer farms.

WAR ORDERS

Manufacture of bath tubs and bird
cages, cigarette lighters and waste
baskets, door knobs and cash regis
tiers, electric razorS, and common pins,
and of hundreds of other common
items made of metal are banned for
the duration by recent War Produc-
ton Board orders. Iron and steel, cop
per, brass and bronze, can't be spared
to make them. and for most of them
no substitute metals may be used. Pro
duction of articles using copper ceases
by June 10; limited production of iron
and steel items continues until Aug
ust, hen stops completely.
Lipstick holders and cosmetic con-
tanners are on the list, too. SO save
those you have now to use with re-
fills. Cutting out metal or plastic con-
tainers for glamour aids means a year
ly saving of 3 to 4 million pounds of
plaSticS, 10000 OnS of steel, $3.50 tons
of copper, $50 ton of zinc, officials
estimate.
Coffee drinkers, too, will have to cut
down, for dealers are now limited to
% percent of last years supplies.
Ships TO bring the bean from Brazil
are more urgently needed to carry
other products.
To stretch supplies Of spices that
used to come from the Far East, Il 80
percent cut in deliveries to dealers has
been imposed for white pepper, all
~r,i,n cinnamon ,l,,-n, orip,,r ,n,tn,nr
and mace. The cut should make pres
ent supplies, that normally disappear
in 6 to 8 months, last twice that long.
To help keep down the cost Of living,
the Federal Reserve Board put tight
er limits on consumers borrowing
power. Now, say the new credit regu-
l%ations, you must pay for anything
YOU charge at the store by the 10th
day of the Second month after you
bought it, or the store must refuse you
further credit. That means you have
from 40 to 20 days to pay, depending
on what day of the month you made
your purchase. If you buy on install
ment any of the long list of articles,
named by the Board, you must pay
for them within - months and you're
required to make n down payment of
at least One-third of the purchase price.
Instalment loans used to buy listed ar
ticleS must not amount to more than
two-thirds of the purchase price. Loans
up to $1,000, that you agree to pay off
in Il single ayment, must not III for
more than 90 days if you plan to use
the money to buy something on the
Boards list. Such loans may not be
renewed or extended beyond Il year
from the day you originally borrowed
the money. Loans to pay school, hos
pital. doctor, dentist, or funeral bills
may be paid off oven IL longer period.
All really necessary materials for
home canning will be available for
housewives this year, says the Con
m Division of the office of Price
administration. Jar rings, and screw
tops for Mason Jars had been made
before Pearl Ilarbor to take care of
this season. Sufficient tops for jelly
glasses, too, are on hand. But AXE

Misunderstanding evidence is accu-
mulating of the deliberate, voluntary
intensificatiOn of industrial effort by
the British workers. One sign is the
marked diminution in the number, size
and duration of trade disputes involv-
ing Il stoppage of work.
Latest official figures show that in
February there were fewer than $4,000
wOrkpeople involved, directly and in
directly, in disputes resulting in an
aggregate loss of no more than 2S,0OO
working days. Having regard to the
mammoth dimensions of the industrial
army and the astronomical total of
man-hourS worked, this loss of working
time is i~nfiniteSimal.
Actually, too. it is less than half
the total of working days lost in the
previous month, when some 11,lOO
working people lost $4,000 working
days III consequence of trade disputes.
All the disputes which started in
February We're settled within the
month. and only one lasted more than
three DAYS.

E~NpIcSSlIlS lne opinion lIdt tle CoH-
v%enfion will be the most important
meeting of women ever held in Amer
lea, Secretary Ornburn urged all ma
tiOnal and international unions which
have women'S auNiliaries to immedi-
ately make arrangements to have dele
gates in attendance. He urged the
same action ON local, central and state
women's auNiliaries chartered directly
by the A.F.W.A.L. He is acting as
temporary secretary of the %organiza-
ton.
The convention will be held begin
st. Louis. Mo.
Serious Problem Looms
at is more important now than ever
before in history that ONE should
be organized because they are rapidly
taking the place of men in war in
dustries and civilian trades" Ornburn
said. eff these new workers are not
educated along the line of trade union
ism, union men will face strong COM
petition in their effort to maintain
union wages, hours and working con
ditiOnS.
millions of women workers are now
being drawn into u defense indus
tries. 1t is, therefore, necessary that
men take Il deeper interest in this
problem not only during the emer-
gency but also to maintain union
standards after the war. -Four mil
lion women will actually take Over
mems jobs in war industries by the
end of 1913.
IF the war continues six years it
is estimated that half of the workers
in industry will be women.
Active In War Agencies
members of women'S auXiliaries
are also playing a vital part in all
civilian wal activities" Ornburn con-
tinued. "They are actively engaged
on committees in the various branches
of war work, including policing price
control, War Bond sales, civilian de-
Tense, Red Cross, nutrition committees,
and other patriotic agencies in which
it is very important that the women
members of labor uniOniStS' families
play an important role.
"Only through organizations like
the A.F.W. AL. can women obtain rep
resentation ON the various war agencies
and on local committees which are
carrying out the victory program.
Officers To BE Named
'The women members of the AZ
WAL. will elect their own officers
and committees will be appointed for
the various wal activities to collab-
crate with the Federal agencies. 1t is
one of the most outstanding events of
the year. he said, land we hope that
there will be Il large number of dele
gates of AFL women'S auXiliarieS in
attendance when the convention opens.

Mayor TO Keep
His Hands Off
Scrap Collection

Scrap collections can proceed in
the future without any interfer-
ence from the city hall, Mayor
Edward j. Jeffries Jr. assured re-
porters today.
The mayor got himself into a
first class dog fight n week ago
when he criticized the conduct of
the drive while defending the city's
policy of paying DPW employees
for their part in the drive in a
hearing before the common
council.
Jeffries took the stand that the
DPW men should be paid; that
inasmuch as the city was standing
the expense OF the collection. il
should reap any profits resulting.
Furthermore. he charged, il was
silly TO use the money TO buy tanks
because the government isn't short
of money and is getting all the
tanks that can be produced any
way.
One OF the FePefeHssiens was a
biting letter from Edwin j. An
derson, chairman of the salvage
committee of the Wayne County
Civilian Defense Council. ! who
charged the mayor with second
guessing in the matter.

cerned and an investigation.
