PAGE EIGHT ENGLAND HAS NEGRO QUESTION TO SOLVE Anxious Now to Be Rid of West African. Laborers Used During War. TFngland has a negro problem on her aands, During the war negro colonies were. established In various BEnglish towns, all the men having been brought from West Africa.- They went to Eng- ‘and as seamen and, tempted by mus aftion wages and the shortage of labor, settled down there. Many of the negroes formed tem- porary_alllances with white women. Although some of these alliances end- ed in marriage, there were clergymen whe refused to assist in such unions, ‘The police and social workers agreed that the conditions which have fol- iowed on the negro immigration are @erious. 4 ‘The negroes are natural dandfes, and sme has been seen to wear a bracelet, # chain and heavy locket round hix nmeck, and a large silk * handkerchief hangifng from the back of his coat. They hold noisy carousals and the au- thorities have been obliged to borrow from America a word to describe the police sgquad assigned to the negro Quarters. It s called the “Dixie Pa- trol.” l‘t.ely many of the negroes have been ‘thrown out of work and have re telved the government unemployment Bonation. ‘They are’ now sald to.be. ‘anxfous ‘to return to Africa, but white sallors ‘refuse ‘to work with them and khips ‘officers will not sign them on. Thé "whités are equally desirous that |: o 1he négroés shall depart, and it is prob- able thatithe colonial office will grant them passage money. FITTING WORKERS TO TASKS Rkarge Manufacturing Concern Tries! yu; interesting Experiment. The vice president of a large manu- facturing establishment, employing 8,000 persons, has informed officials ‘af the tralning service, department of Ixbor, that his experience confirms the view promulgated by the service that ‘T8 per cent of the workmen in the ordinary industrial plant are producing less than a normal amount of work, aad that the result is that the shs average is perhaps as much as per cent short of the production it should attain, . Some time ago the company estabe Nshed training and kept careful rec:, 'ards. . ‘When individual production was 1 found falling off the workmen, instead o being ‘discharged, ' received other Jobs on which they could do better weork. 'The company took an interest ‘% finding suitable work for the em. ! ployecs. The Individual efliciency rec- H ands nlso proved a protection: against sajust discharge and afforded a means of determining upon promotions. “En the ‘case of ‘cértain women em- sloyes the company found that their agiput fell toward the end of the day a8 & result of fatigue, These employees were given less exacting work, on which, however, their remuneration would be satisfactory. Glad the Horse Kicked Him. “I am thankful that horse kicked e in the face on January 10,” Private Jahn A, Allen of Thompsontown, Pa., wenotneed when he renched home seve exzt ays ago.
