French and English London, Feb. 23.—The use of ma- | hinery, particularly American ma- | hinery, in place of hand labor, is be- | ng widely discussed as one of the arge problems to be met with after ' he war. Under the stress of war enor- mous quantities of American machin- ery have been brought into England, [France and other countries at war, for | bnanufacturing harness, shoes, guns, shells and the whole range of war re- duirements. At Havre, the Belgian government factory, employing 12,500 jworkmen, has ninety per cent. Amer- dcan machinery. Going through these yorks an Asseciated Press represcn- tive noted at every hand the machin- ery bearing the marks of firms at Bridgeport, Providence, Boston, Phil- adelphia, Cincinnati and many other points. The harness factory, for turn- | ing out cavalry and artillery supplies, | entirely equipped with American inery. Eh ‘manager of the works said Eng- 1ish machinery was good only on the Tnige, ponderous machines, but that American machinery was practically alone in the field on fine automatic | work replacing the dexterity of hand- work. He estimated that the heavy ¥ ish and French machines chiefly in the »undries and machine .\'hup.\'. were under ten per cent. of the plant, all the rest belng American. Some of | the Ame; an machin were pointed | out as having an ingenuity almost hu- man. One of them, used in polishing the discs of shells, employed a mag- netic current to hold the discs firmly while the emery wheels did the pol- 4shing. To the Belgian worker thls | jwas little short of magic, as he had al- Belgium, and in fact all over allied Europe. As Useful in Normal Times. Besides doing the war work of all kinds, this new use of machinery has opened the eyes of producers as to -hat machinery could do for increas- ing. British production when normal conditions are restored. It has been argued as one of the chief weapons to combat that revival of German man- ufacturers and another “Made in Ger- many” campaign. One expert has shown that most of the factories in England were equipped in the days of steam, and have taken no account of electricity as a new motive power. He figures out that this old-time equip- ment cannot possibly compete with American and German production. This view is widely held, and besides the American and German production. This view is widely held, and besides the Amercan machinery is already here furnishing its own argument in the war work. At the recent labor congress at Man- chester the delegates referred to this new machinery as one of the chief after-the-war problems, as it would limit and compete with the hand la- bor of men returning from the army to civil occupations. But while recogniz- ing it as danger, they appeared to accept the increased use of machinery, particularly American machinery. as one of the assured facts hrought out by the war. One of the resolutions passed called on the government o give spe- cial attention to the needs of workmen resulting from this new and enlarged competition from machinery.
