to strike unless their terms are met, What awes them the most is the gheer arithmetic of the American demands. To them a $2 a day hoist in wages is little short of fabulous. Only a month ago a British government committee satisfied the demands of British longshoremen by upping their minimum daily wage from $3.20 to $3.80. One week ago the agricultural wages board rejected an application by the union of farm workers for

«| increasing . the minimum weekly

wage from $14 to $18. Pleased By Example

v British trade union leaders are

all in favor of the nressure which American unions are putting on industry for heavy increases.

Although they, . themselves, are

{inclined to be far more conserva-

tive than C. I. O. leaders, they feel that. the agressive spirit of the latter will facilitate their own déaiings with British employers. British labor enjoys no such freedom. of action as that being used today by both the C. 1. O. and the A:T, of L. It is required by law to

submit: to compulsory arbitration

and to abide by the decisions taken. Sympathetic strikes are prohibited by the trades disputes act of 1927 and so are any strikes aimed at

Joocroing the government. pod mr Willing te Wait

The current attitude of union leaders is that they must curtail their demands for heavy increases in wages during the period of national economic stress: through which Britain is passing. They agree to retain compulsory arbitration for

activity of American labor and not appreclating the financial limitations of British economy, may be less inclined to curb his feelings.

You see, patients entering these contests submit their samples according to! numbers. Olson didn't know the name of the boy who had sample No, 6. I went along with him to help find the winner.
