Fre WALLS. t s/t Representatives of the Great British Unions, AfterExhaustive Study of Conditions in the United States, Are Ready to Report that Employees in This Country Are Far in Advance of Those at Home. At the meeting of the National Civic Federation a reporter for The Evening World talked with the remaiing mem- bers of the English delegation of labor representatives who came to this coun- try to study the economic conditions here as compared with those in Great Britain. Without a single exception, the visitors agree that the American me- chanio {s far better off than his English brother, although in some fnstances the concession is quatified—possibly from a sense of patriotism. The progressiveness of the American workingman 1s the great feature that tho Englishmen marve, at. To them It !s so novel, so strange, that they can hardly apprehend it. ‘They came here} to learn, and that they did learn 1s at tested to by every one of those of tite hree who are left, seven in a}l. there 1s, however, which the Pnglishmen, or at least a majority of them, agree on. They declare that our workmen are not thorough. say that the American mechanic $s loo) ing too carefully after the mighty dollar and that he doesn't do his work with the precision and the vonsclentiousness | that characterizes the Englishman, Our Cutlery Bad, An filustration ts American cutlery. George Barnes said of tt: | ‘The cutlery that you have in this | country 1a abominable. It is the worst Uhat I have ever seen in Europe. 1n all England the poorest family would not offer such cutlery to a guest. It shows slip-shod “workmanship, The knives | and the forks are of the worst possible | workmanship in these advanced days.” In this opinion the others of the Eng- lah delegation agree, but they all ad-| mit socially, in education and tn Inde- pendence, the American workman Js in advance of the Englishman, Originally there were twenty-three of the English delegation, but the other | sixteen have returned. By Saturday at the latest most of tho others will have started homeward, and before Christ- mas all will be in England at work on thelr reports comparing the labor ditions of the two countries and giving | the advantage to Uncle Sam. Members Still Here. Those of the d ation who have lin- gered after the majority returned are: George Barnes, representing the Amal- gamated Society of Engineers; Patrick Walls, leader of the National Federa- tion of Blast Furnace Men; Jam Cox, of the Associated Iron and Steel Work- the feeling about ers; W, H. Wilkinson and T, Ashton representing the Textile Federation of Yorkshire; J. Maddison, leader of the Iron Founders of England Great Britain; W. Coffey, binders, and G. J.

These men aince they arrived in America have travelled all over tho United States, going to every large city, East,West, North, South and even into Canada, to study the conditions of the workingman on this side of the water, They have becn more or less Ireland and of the Book- of the .|under the guidance of Alfred Moeely, the English philanthropist, through whose instruimentallty they were sent here. He believes that America {s #0 far ahead of the world in ite manu- facturing progresstveness that there 1s no comparison with other countries. PIECE WORK AND PAY FOR IDEAS, SAYS ECONOMIST MOSELY. Mr. Mosely satd: “I have made trips through the West and I have etudied all the industrial conditions from the standpoint of an Englishman, I was amazed at the won- derful machinery, the freedom of the workman, his social standing, his edu cation, bis progresstyness and his abi to make all the money that his two hands will permit.” Mr. Moncly was Colonial born, He spent most of his life in the British colonies, principally in South A where he got his first appreciation into Yankee ingenuity and where he was interested {n mining. “For years,” he said, “the Bnglish ongineer tried to solve the problems of the gold and diamond mines, but he did not progress, Company after company failed because the English engineers were not able to solve the problem at cturesque, graphic—| hana. in-next Sunday’s| “And then came Gardner Williams, an Aa.

I went back to England to tell my friends of the vastness, of the enterprise of America. “I belleve that the adoption of tho plecework system, as I have told tho Civic Federation, 1s largely responsible for the advancement of the American workingman. The pleco work system makes more wages for the workingman and more profits for the employ: Both are satisfied and happy, Some of my friends in the delegation do not agree with me on that point, but nevertheless 1 think that piecowork creates an ambl- | tion in the workingman that results to an advantage both to him and to his employer. “Under a plecework system the more work the man does the better his boss Is pleased. Different in England. ‘In England the piecework system 1s used to lower the scalé of wages rather than increase It. The manufacturer does not want to pay more than he has to, and just as soon as he thinks the employee is making more than his s al Status calla for then he ts che price. “The freedom granted the American workman 1g also @ great advantage that he hus over tho giish His em- ployer wants Ide He offers a pre- money, atock rican business craves fc haps ideas. ng man ch manufacture does, too, but few get them from thelr workmen, A workman with an idea never gets past the foreman, and then his suggestion loses him tis Jod."" ‘Mr, Mosely then went on to praise the American machinery, Like the other members of the delegation he was struck with the plants of Ameloa's var- fous industries. In England machiner y is regarded as part of the 1, never to be discarded, but here the delega- tion learned (uit a different. view Was taken concerning the lathes’ and ines, When they grow out of date here they are sold for scap-jron or thrown overboard, but in machinery ts kept’ doing the in the same old-fashioned no’ jatter how far behind the times it’ may 0, in speaking of the hours of Jabor that a man should worl, Mr, Mosely think those who really have the workman's Interest at heart do view the question of shorter hours with a feeling of respect for their right to have some time left after they have finished th labor in which to Improve their mi: and to devote themselves to other occu- Tut the h “But the hours of labor are a ver different problem. There is more than one view taken of it In the United States. You have to ask yourselves ‘What fs the position in other countries? are they working longer hours? Is it possible to bring them into line “And personally I feel that if there ta to be any solution to the hours question it can only be done if the workingmen of the Uni Btates alc but of whole of Europe are brought in) line and prepared to adopt a policy whereby we shall all be on an equal footing, It Is useless the United States seoking an ideal of an eight-hour day If Germany is golng to. work ten means that the markets of the jd will be gfutted; that ts free markets, by the man ures of the country whose work is longer than that of thé United States.” Of trusts Mr. Moselly referred to his speech before the Civic Federation, “There | said that trusts would nat- urally work out thelr own salvation." ENGINEER BARNES FINDS AMERICAN WORKMEN FREER. George Barnes, representative of the largest labor union in Great Britain, and one of the largest in the world, will re- main in this country after tho others have gone. He 1s the head of the Amal- gamated Society of Engineers, number- ing 9,000 men, They can build a ma- chine apd then run it.

They are wonderful and far beyond our comprehension on the other side, Chief of these are the water- fa differe of hours that “What struck me most forcibly,” ‘These waterfalls add to the produc- tion of the country and give the Ameri- can manufacturer an advantage over the English producer."* In comparing the workmanship here with that of the old country, Mr. Barn declared that the product turned out by the American workman was shoddy, while that on the other slide was per- fect. “Take, for instance, just ono fllus- | tration your cutlery. Now, knives an | forks are tn the home of every one, 1 the best hotels here I find the most ehoddy ware put before guests, cut- lery that you would not find in the rest home in all England. “When a workman in Dngland turns out cutlery it fs the finest the world can produce, I haye found the same in branches of manufactory that I am even more famillar with than the pro- duction of cutlery “The only way to account for It is that the American working man wants to make too much money. That 1s where I disagree with Mr, Mosely, He thinks that much of the progress of this coun- try is due to the plecework system. I don't, ‘Over here an % American workman ay and pays a helper.

The last one that we had in our union was in 1897, Wo don't look for another in these days of arbitration.” TRADE EDUCATION HELPS OUR STEEL MEN, SAYS WALL. Patrick Walls, representative of the National Federation of Blast Furnace- men, of which ho !s general secretary, made his tour of the country in com- pany with James Cox, head of the steel workers of England, “We found, eald Mr. Walls, ‘that the wonderful natural resources of the country {ts largely responsible for the great progress in the steel industry. The wonder of the steel manufaotury 1s almost beyond comparison, In the blast furnace industry I found that the blow- ing power here Js vastly greater than Jn our country. ‘That, of course, is be- cause you use more capital. “On every side I find that the great capital you employ {s largely responal- ble for the great difference between America and England, “In England the men work, with the exception of 800, elght hours a day. ‘Here they work in two shifts of twelve hours each. ‘Your men do % per cent. more work than Englishmen and re- Sven t whinke that on tho whole, the Englishman has the advantage in som ways.
