BILL TO AMEND MUNITIONS ACT IN UNITED KINGDOM Serious Labor Troubles Are Threatened Unless Reforms Are Brought About. London, Jan. 2—A bill the muniifons act has meet complaints that provisions of the original act are unjust. Serious labor troubles are threatened unless reforms are brought about, the sense of griev- ance among munition workers in Scotland, particularly, having become almost as bitter as it can be without a revolt. Under the original aet, it is neces- sary for men who leave the govern= ment-controlled factories to get cer- tificates from their employers before they can obtain work elsewhere. Many employers have refused to grant such ceortificates to men. they have dlemis: to amend ohunmry for the employer to fur- nish certificates even to dis men and it also forbids him to en- dorse on the paper the offenses that ‘caused the discharge. It is expected this change will do much to coneili- ate the complaining workers.

There is also discussion of the prop. osition of giving women representa- tion on the tribunal on account of the large number of women workers em- ploved in munitions factories. Mr. Lloyd-Georgo, the minister of munitions, has recently circularized a letter to the effect that the best po: |sible use is not being made of elther machinery or labor in government— controlled - establishments, He finds that there is too large a Proportion of skilled men employed in proportion t the semi-skilled or unskilied, while in some distriots night shifts are not properly organized. Employers are requested to furnish detalled information as to the assign- ment of their skilled labor and to take steps to replace skilled men with un: skilled men or women wherever pos sible s0 as to use the skilled work- ers as foremen for In a subsequent letter, Lloyd-George 5ays he intends to form a mew set of rules governing the employment and wages of women. The question of pay of women and unskilled men has been difficult to solve on account of the jealous regard of the laber union for their old rights and privileges, %0 the eyes against _jeopardizing the future pod ons of union men after ‘war, NEGLECT OF SCIENCE Then the mayor | co WAR HAS WORKED HARDSHIP ON Resignations Four in Besause of G tailment of Incomes.
