ENGLAND By OSCAR LEIDING LONDON, June 13.—The ma- chine—which forged the glory of Britain in the nineteenth century —is being questioned as the Fran- kenstein of the twentieth. The leisure, the machine pro- duces is both the fear and the hope of British workmen. Their fear is that it will be in- creasingly translated into unem- ployment; their hope that by a redistribution of labor it may be utilized for social progress. Ask 40-Hour Week To fulfill the hope, the trade unions have as a main plank in their program the adoption by in- dustry of a 40-hour week without| decrease of wages. “Reduction of hours must be without reduction in wages,” says ‘Will Sherwood, national industrial officer of the National Union of General and Municipal Workers, “so as to increase the purchasing power of our people. “The machine is a bigger prob- lem in the Uniled Kingdom than any other place. One must al- ways remomber that Britain is an Island. There is no boundless mak2 to s in the us2 of ago it was general P to have on: man to a lathe in a shop. That day is gone. Now we have one man to four lathes and up to one man to seven lathes. Mechanization goes on apace Evidence that the machine, which produced the great indus- trial revolution that transformed Britain from a pastoral country to the werld’s workshop, has piled up new problems comes from an- location of employment caused by ! tions on immigration “which have | [ meant that our own labor mar- untouched resources. | virgi | Hall, Wilred Hanbury, Albert Han. % CuPs diced carrots, 4 cups wa- employment can take place.” !

Denying that the machine has caused unemployment, the Engi- neering and Allied Employers’ Na- tional Federation, representing the engineering industry of the coun- try, has declared itself ‘‘emphati- cally opposed” to the introduction of the 40-hour week. It has issyed a 94-page booklet on its study of the machine and unemployment questions, empha-) sizing the need and inevitability of increasing machine production. | Grape-fruit juice in hot water It points out that the (lomininnc‘;c‘v(,l._\ morning and at bedtime, and colonies have placed restric- | plenty of tennis, and the juice of {a lemon rubbed into the face and neck once a week, followed by a ket has become overcrowded whilst ;004 cold cream — these stch they themselves have remained un-| yreatments help to keep the skin developed through lack of POPU-|ang bedy in good. health. lation. i i | | QISaAaJANUARY/ bound passenger on the Princess Norah on his way to Skagway to |spend the summer months, from his winter headquarters in Seattle.
