Crisis in British Industry. FACING THE FOREIGNER.

The position in the engineering trades (writes a special correspondent of The Times) has greatly improved since the dispute of four yean ego, the effects of the famous agreement then arrived

at hiving been most beneficial to th« employers, white (hey hive also in ferred advantage! on the employed, and hare exercised t good influence on other trades in the country as well. Ai an illustration of the ipirlt thtt now pro* vails, it miy be mentioned that, white the old rnle of 'one man, one machine' If still maintained, there we dhopf where the subterfuge if accepted by the men of putting two machinei on one bed, or of grenping •fet of toolc together, and in each case regarding them at one machine.' Such, indeed, ii the improve ment that, when one employer was askfd what wig the position now, si compared with the state of things at the time of the dispute, he replied, "Ob, its just like heaven," Without assuming any reipomibility for the accuracy of tbif comparison, one may, at lesjt declare, thtt the engineering employers are better able to meet competition now than they were before. Thus, one of them, when the old restrictions were in full force, found hi was being undersold ty Germane, who were disposing of their goods in the next county, can now not only hold his own at borne, bnt if even able to compete with the German! in their own country; and this, toO| though be ii employing no larger num ber of hands, and ii paying no more for wages in proportion to the work done.

Thus far all is satisfactory, and it if giatifying to be Able to throw ft litttlt light into a sitratiTS of industrial conditions that contains so amen ahvde. Yet troth compels the statement that, while the leaders of the men employed in the engineering tradei are beginning to see more clearly how the interest* of the employed are bound op with those of the employers, and to understand th# real nature of the conditiooi which the latter bate to face, these newer ideal and thin broader know ledge bare not yet permeated the gen* era! man of tbe men. Thai it hat been found necessary, for example, in engineering shop* where non-anioniiti are engaged on certain portions of the work, to locate them in parts of the premises where they are practically shut off, and are bo guarded that no trade unionist can get to them. This is especially tbe case where new aoet faoda have been introduced, requiring new tools or the alteration of existing ones.

Although, iv fact, there, have been the improvements already spoken of i the relations vt employers and employed in the engineering .trade, there ii still too great a prejudice on the part of the workers against labour-saving machinery, still too great a reluctance to work with fail energy in each case owing to the desire of the workman either not to over-exert oneself or to sleave something for others,' and .still too great a nesd for hearty co-oper ation ar.d for a recognition of a com* manity of interests between master* and men* Foreign competition is be coming more and more active. The Canadian Fittsborg which is springing ap at Syduey t Oape Breton, is already ■ending pig-iron into this country «t the rate of 5000 tons a week, most of it going to Glasgow and underselling home makers; the extensive plant for steel works at Sydney is now ready j and the rail works there are to be fin ished by the middle, or towards the end, of next year. By that time lbs companies concerned will probably be in a fair way to eSect something like ft revolution in the iron and iteel in dustry—thanks to the advantages they possess in the co-existence of almost illimitable coal, ironstone, and lime stone supplies on navigable ocean har bours.

In the opinion of some at least of (he practiced men who h*ve had to face the whole problem, foreign com petition sacb ai "toil can he met om by improved systems of working, and especially by a system which wilt get rid of lingering restriction*, allow of the introduction of every possible mechanical improvement! and encour age the men to co-operate loyally, with their employers, working with their fall energy, and producing the belt re salts—a system which will, in effort, allow two tons to be prodaoed at the same cost as is now required to pro* dace one.
