How to Make the British Workman Work.

AN IXTRAOEDINABY BRIOK-

jLAYING RECORD

The first week in January witnessed the completion of the superstructure of the Westinghouae Company's works near Manchester, upon which nearly a million and a half pounds sterling have been spent, and the installation of machinery will proceed forthwith. This undertaking ia remarkable for the manner in which the British workman has had his beat and fastest work extracted from him

While 450 bricks per nine hoars day are mentioned as the average work of the British bricklayer, Mr Stewart, the building manager, has got out of his men an average of 1800 bricks per nine hours day per man, with 2500 per day per man oo the plainest work Invited io tell his secret, Mr Stew art's representative on Friday said :— BMr Stewart started by initiating a system of daily progress reports from each of the seventy five foremen or Bab-foremen. The first two weeks during which the organisation was feeing built op have left ob do particular record except that a great deal too much money was being spent for the work done, After that we got to 900 bricks per day per man, and by a continuous process ot elimination, guided by the daily progress reports, they were eventually each over 1800 Average 4 Trouble threatened from the trade onions at time8 s but we met the dele gates and were always willing to give them an audience. We defined our position very plainly. We were willing to work with union men and in every way according to union rules, and we gave and are giving Hd per hoar in- Btesd of the lOd per hour for which the onion stipulates. But we made it clear ac spring water that we were going to h»vs those bricks laid, that we intended to be the maetera of our own works, that the delegates were not going to 8 hoes' our business, that we were not going to let the slowest man on the j )b set the pace, that each man would have to do his utmost, and that we should have men to see this idea carried out, Either we were to run the job and not the delegates, we said, or else the unions would be disregarded entirely, and othpr men employed.' Gee of the largest and most progres eive of London master builders, on hearing of the American experience, doubted if thfi figures could bo held to apply to ordinary work. • I do not think,' said be, ' that it would be pos- Bible for bricklayers to do work ab \ hat rate except on rough, straightforward jobs, but they are certainly capable of doing more—that is to say, work iug faster than they do now. I can remember that twenty years ago the average for average work was a thousand brinks a day, Now far the same kind of work we Bhoald not be nble to reckon on more than 600, which may be taken aa a present average.

11 But its mast be confessed that the syaiera in which we work in mainly re sponsible for any artificial limitation of output that there may be, In the old days & firm employed so many hundred men, who were always in tha employ o£ that particular firm, whether work was going on or whether it was not.

11 These men had an interest in their work ; the men of the present day have not e Now," when a builder secures a contract he takes on a number of men necessary, and when the work ia over discharges them. Oar reward to a man for expediting his work is to dis charge him; That is the way—the more a man hurries the shorter time he will be employed, and the less he will earn."

DO lOU WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT THS ! OFFER OF THE "ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRI.TANNICA?" _■ .wr. Has enabled all residents of New Zealand to obtain " THS TIMES " Beprint of the ! "EMGYGLOP/EDIA BRIT/iNNIGA." HINTH-.IHB LATEST EDITION, FOR MQMTHLY INSTALMENTS OF I 2« OR JESS THANJWBiCE A DAY. THE BOOKS DELIVERED FREE IN WELLINGTON —i. ■ ■■■——-——-^o "■ -~—~. The "ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRIPANNICA" is the greatest Lib rary of Reference and information ever published, and this offer is the GREATEST BAKGAIN ever put before the public. ; COMPLETE AND ACCURATE. The » ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNIOA may very aptly be described as a complete course of techaieal education, now brought within the reach of men who cannot afford either the time or the money to go to a technical school. Every day the importance of commercial education and of technical education is being more fully realised in Great Britain. Not so very many years ago English manufacturers felt that they were practically filling a field in which they had no serious competitors to fear. But in the present day things are very different, Although our trade is steadily increasing every year, the trade of other coun tries is increasing by leaps' and bounds, and on many an occasion an Ingltßh manufacturer finds that he is endeavouring to sell his goods in foreign countries where foreign manufacturers are forestalling him. The more we enquire into the causes of this state of affairs, the more we understand that the foreign manufacturer and the men whom he employs are better educated for their work in life than are our workers at home. Technical educatioa in England is still in a very backward condition, and it was felt; by the proprietors of the " DAILY MAIL " that to place the " BJSCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNIOA " within the reach of young men of moderate means,, who are entering upon their careers, I would be a national benefit. There is no book which more men have desired to possess^ and now it is a book which all men can have. It is no longer a book for rich men only; every man can enjoy it who can pay the first payment of Five Shillings, and follow this by making a saving of less than Sixpence a day, in order to make the farther payments of Twelve Shillings a month, by which the remainder of the price is pa|d ; and this price is less than half the publisher's regular price. A C^SH DISCOUNT IS GIVEN TO THOSE WHO PBEFiSK TOMAKS ONE CASH PAYMENT. Only a Limited number can be gold on thesa terms; will you be one of the j limited number who can avail theofaelves of this opportunity ? If you would do so, i " DON'T DELA V. 11 You may re3t assured that all we say about the BOOK and the B ARG AIN j is not nearly as much as might truthfully be said ; the " ENCYCLOPAEDIA j BRITANNIOA "is a book above all praise, unequalled and unapproached. If you would like further particulars you can write and wo will send you the fullest information, and information absolutely trustworthy and unexaggerated.
