LONDON, March 18.—American firms | over here have been walting anxiously for some Government blue books on the subject of London. traffic, which, have just been issued. The books cpme high— about $35—but the big American firms with English connections have practic- | ally linea up outside the publishers with the money all ready. “The demand for these costly books— the Report of the Royal Commission on Traffic,” said one of the man- Messrs., Eyre & Spottiswoode, Government printers, American firms, has been really surpris- ing. You see the books have been pub- lished in a serles, and a firm buying No. agers of |1 has had to have all the rest.”” The books deal with the entire subject of London trafic and the metropolitan | When it is recalled that London street car lines, omnibuses, motor 'buses and rallways carry each year ven times the population of the entire gdom, or approximately, 280,- the magnitude of this traf- fic can be appreclated. Within the last yvears there has been a growing pop- v of electrical rallways, and motor ula "bus which manufacture these, have entered the field of British commerce, competing direct with native Industrial undertak- ings. In many parts of the country large American factories have been built, and | several new ‘“Yankee enterprises are now being established in the larger town: such as Manchester, Leeds and Liver- pool. Most people are under the impression that a large amount of goods for street railways Is imported into England, but this is far from being the case. Though | enormous quantities of American mate- rial s used, little, If any, is imported This is a distinction with an immense | information of the difference. On this point was obtained from an official | Westinghouse Electrical Company-—one of the bhig firms doing a flourishing business in England fust now. “Every pound of our material,” said Mr. Dunlop, “though seemingly identi- cal with American goods. is manufac- tured in this country. When we first six years age, we encountered the strongest kind of prejudice against goods brought from Finally, we had to knuckle down to realizing that if we wanted to | get inte the British market we would | | have to put up factories here and ope- | rate just os if we were an out-and-out British firm. We have practically lost | our 1dentity with the home concern, and the sameé may be said of most American firms over here who are doing any vol- ume of business. ight be sald that at present our firm, though turning out Ameri- can goods, is thoroughly British. All our workmen have to conform to British trade union regulations; and we are find- ng that the more we Britishize our in- dustrial plant the larger orders we get. | You could not—unless you came in con- 'F[NEE BUILDERS tact with it dally—imagine the immense and growing prejudice which exists against forelgn goods coming into this country. While England is practically free trade, at the same time as little im- porting is done as possible; and if the country can compel any industry which is bidding for the Engiish market to come here and locate they do so in every possible instance. “This is one way, of course, of sur- mounting the high tariff wall which sur- rounds America. Though goods could be | purchased sufficiently cheap in the United Statcs to sell them at a profit here, the English buyers will no longer stand for it. *“The fault lies, more or less, with many American firms themselves. For many vears they have regarded England as the dumping ground for inferior classes of goods; but now the reaction seems to have set in and England is demanding a high class of goods, and, what is more, that they should be made in England.” “What is the principal cause of this exclusive way of looking at things?” I ed. Municipalization,” was the prompt re- ply. *“There is a tendency in this coun- try just now to munieipalize everything. Of course, our firm is principally inter- ested in the tramways, but there are other movements on foot. when public bodles—City Councils and the like—have to purchase street car lines and equipment they naturally do not fa- vor bids from outsiders, even though they may be their cousins—the Americans. Every effort is made to do all their buying in the home market; and in the contracts, while it Is not expressly stipulated that no goods shall be pur- chased abroad, still foreign firms have to conform to a clause covering trade union regulations for wages and other requirements. Naturally, If outside firms wish to get orders they have to prove that they are really home indus- trial plants, bullt out of British money and run by Biiitish workmen. “The putting up of large factories by Amerlcan firms, Instead of being a mat- ter of surprise—as it is to most per- sons who do not know the facts—thus becomes very simple.” “Are the goods manufactured in Eng- land any cheaper than those made in America?’ was asked. “Not a bit,” replied Mr. Dunlop. “In fact, in some cases we could really de- liver certain kinds of goods ‘cheaper from the United States than they would cost here, but the prejudice is so strong that we could not attempt to fight it. We simply have to give way to Brit- ish antipathy—which, by the way, is growing—put our factories up on Eng- lish soil, and conform to all English methods. e FORDING A SWOLLEN CREEK | NEARLY MEETS DEATH WHILE | Resident of Willits Loses Horse and Has Narrow Eseape From Drowa- ing During Storm. ~ UKIAH, March 18.—Dr. Blodgett of ‘Willits had a very unpleasant expe- rience during the recent storm. He was called to Hearst, and on his re- turn at night did not notice that the rain had swollen the creeks on the road. He drove into Pulwider Creek and a strong current carried his buggy down the stream. Seeing his predica- ment, he jumped out and succeeded in swimming to the bank, landing in an exhausted condition. Some of his neighbors succeeded in saving what was left of his rig some distance down the stream the next day. The horse was drowned. ————— Sasanville to Issue Bonds.

The mail coach jumped the rails, car- rying with it the Second engine of the train.

Many women suffer in silence: and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assist- ance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing them- selves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician.

All letters are received, opened, read and answered By women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has todraw from, it is more than possible that shé has gnined the very knowledge that will elp your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.
