Restrictive Labour Legislation in Great Britain.

Moving the adoption of the report At tha annual meeting of Kynooh

(Limited), at Birmingham, on June 12th, Mr Arthur Chamberlain said the '.' j}pofitß this yoar 'vero £100,000. Their chief concern had been with the exe cution of order?, and with the organi iation of the various factories. Organi isation tOday was the keynote of sue mm, dud the main point in all factory <HT|ft(\fs*.Uon was to be found In the * OOBt offiofca The proapeota of general : trade aeetned brighter than they had been for t% long time past, Th^re was oomp.fttition, *io douit, but be thought be detected a tendency in thafc conape titian to confine iteelf rather more within Hoes that were compatible with it living profit, His opinion was that those baeinesseß which were conducted on sound lines might daring the next few years sxpeot- to reap a reward com tnensurate with the exertions of their managers. The competition of Europ« and the United States he regarded

largely aa the bogey of politicians and newspaper paragraphista. For him it " ■ Shadl very few terrors. Individual busi nesses no doubt waxed and waned, bat the manufacturers of this country were never aa a whole, it appeared to him, more confident, more energetic, more lacoessfcl^nd—perhapa he ooghfc to say this in a whhper—■-more wealthy. He should be fche last to deny that foreign competition had its dangers and foreign competitors their advan tagee, bat. the restrictive tendency of qtodero legislation had more terrors for him than all the competition of the foreigner. He could not help thinking tint the oreise for education would dißlj|£psiat its votaries. There was a ttiicteoey. in it to spoil good workmen la osrder to make bad managers, who were not wanted. For 99 out; of ©very hundred, the workshop waß the t>esl and cheapest education. There was only room under modern conditiona for a very few experts and for still fewer masters, and those who were, eouioioQilf or tinoongflioasly, endeav ouring to make all masters were

endeavouring to rear a cone on its point. He would oall attention to two '* burdens from which they suffered in a greatPf degree than their foreign com petitors. The first was the constant iQterfereDCß with methods and man agement that was now introduced by Parliament and the 1000 l Boards, The coat of all they bought, unless they bought abroad, and the coat of all they Made'and of all that they Bold at home or abroad, was largely increased by harassing legislation. They were in spected to death, and they were ham pered at every step. There *»as no amount ef education, no amount of

book learning, that woold make up to the people of this country for the loss ';%f grit, that'was caused by all this out side nursing and interference with them. (Hear, hear) What economies

could be effected if the manofaetarer v eonld?earry on hia business fiee from rl«0«l Boards and bylaws, free from ainitary inspectors, free from smoke inspectors, free from chemical inspec tors, free from School Board inspectors free from Home Office inspectors and

factory Inspectors—free from the whole brood oi officials who, oot being produ cers themselves, lived on theprodaceof

aaanoftctttrins; industry and strangled ife -.{Hear, hear.) The irony of thn posi tion was that these very politicians and philanthropists who had imposed all these burdens on them were now asking why they could not compete as they used to do with freer nation?. At this time of day it was asele33 to csk that this legislation might be repelled, bat they fright ask that its progress^, should be stopped: Nrr was itnbfc toll' much to ask that it should be taken info

account in comparing their work with that of their competitors, and afc Ipaat those local bodies who were responsible for so much of the harden ehoald re--

unember it before ib/y placed with tho foreigner orders that were reqnirei for home consismptiom H« thoanlit the railway companies might consider, when they placed orders for locomotives abroad on tke score of cheapness, how far tbeig ratfs.tnd charges were respon fjble for iome of the cost in the iCn^-Hsh m&nnfactarers' locomotives, If the loss ©f British mannfaetaring pres'ige ghonld ever occur, it would be doe to the com parttive freedom enjoyed by the loreigoer, *nd to the continually increasing resttictions that were suffered By mairaf&otarers in this country—The report w»s adoptefl.

A Woman who could Digest Nothing.

Mn W Dodid, of Oroia Street, Auckland, has recently stated a few.. facts which will bs of interest to,all' %bo snflfcr from indigestion. Bfore b.x% the fa :ts as stated, " Bia^frif? used I Bile Bparis for Bilfqgapess, I bave j laaeh pleasnre in adding mj testimony to their valae t as n remedy for indi gSßt!on t Biliousness aod nervous head ache. It Is aoy opinion that they sur pass all other remedies. I have no hesitation in recommending them to persons so fie ring from a disordered liver. They are mild and pleasant to 4ake, actinsr naturally and givir.g speedy relief." Indigestion is bro' d j,bfc a booh by «n inability of the stor^h to digest food given to It, It, ■ becomes difficult to breathe, the b^th, becomes tainted, pains occar ir\ the etomach, ambition ceases, ans life becomes a burden, Bile fttwis, for Bilionsness bave never b#®n known to fail in aid ing the ateaaach and liver to perform their dpfeleß, and- hence they prevent indigestion, constipation biliousness, piles, pimples, bad breath, bad bfood, female ailments, cougha, chilla, rben naatium, influenza and a heat ©# other ailments.- that; owe thei? origin to a disordered liVer:.
